    LVN license by endorsement California

    CalNevaMimi replied to Lisad6872's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Kids doing this on purpose?

    CalNevaMimi replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I'd make the kid call their parents so I could enjoy that conversation from afar. Sorry you're having a tough time with these guys. Doesn't it scare you a little to know that they are our future? Our...

    CalNevaMimi replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    No scrubs here. However, after "the incident" I now keep a spare set in my car. Let's just say it involved my 1:1 student, liquid poo, and an elastic waistband that snapped out of my slippery gloved...
