CalNevaMimi LPN, LVN

I hope this helps. I am a CA LVN and recently got endorsement to another state. I mailed the endorsement form on January 2 and they didn't process it until the middle of March. It took 10 weeks just for them to sign and mail the endorsement letter. I...

Not me, but I was involved. It was in nursing school. We were paired up to practice intradermal injections. My partner was nervous...and she proceeded to slide that sucker in...and OUT the other end, like a safety pin. A crowd gathered. She didn't re...

Working the middle school health office today...boy, do I have an academy award winner in here at the moment. This kid came in complaining of a vague vision problem in only one corner of one eye...and it magically disappeared after talking to mom. No...

I learned some things from working in a state prison. Look in the mouth to see the pill in there. Check the cup after to make sure it didn't end up in the cup. Check inside the mouth after...under the tongue, too. Watch the hands before and after. Ch...

I wish I could hit the "like" button 100 times!

Sounds like there needs to be a very specific written plan filled out and signed by parents AND doctor. I'd most likely still call 911 though. Angry parents are better to deal with than a non-responsive child. I'd have a O2 sat/HR monitor handy for s...

Former teacher here. One of my required credential classes was "The Exceptional Student," including those with ADD/ADHD.

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 little lovelies have been throwing raw eggs on eac...

Far!!! (excuse me while I give her a hug...it's been a while)

The last time I worked in a health office with a restroom, it constantly smelled like poo, so I can't say I miss that.

These ladies and gentlemen are the best resource I've ever had. I'd give each of them a running flying hug if I could!

THIS is why it's not exactly a disappointment when my 1:1 student isn't at school...I get to be on AllNurses! Far, my word lately has been "Mt. Crapsuvious"

*visions of snowflakes in my head*

Oh, the joys of school site nursing in December. Makes you want to sneak some flax seed in their Flaming Hot Cheetos.

I just shared the gummy bear story with a student who came in crying with an injured knee. She laughed and was able to walk out of here. Awesome! I love this site.

Oh...oh boy, you win! Have a wonderful weekend!

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 hand. *shudder*

That was me yesterday...today my 1:1 student is out, so I'm in the health office having a blast. I needed this.

It was not a difficult decision to pursue a career in nursing when my first career came to an abrupt halt. I had been an elementary school teacher for six years, enduring two layoffs and finally a school closure. None of the schools had any sort of m...

For some reason I've got the South Park episode "Lice Capades" running through my head now. Please tell me you all have seen it.

No, but a former supervising co-worker was on here a few times. Oy-vey.

Stool. And amazeballs.

Can never have enough of those.

Literally, yes.

I learned that my teenaged 1:1 non-verbal client will smile and laugh at me after blasting herself, the changing table, the wall, the carpet, and my shoes with explosive liquid stool. Thanks for the superlax before school, Mom. I also learned that sa...
