    safarirn replied to safarirn's topic in School

    Glad to hear my experiences are not unique. It seems to me that there are budding actors in schools across the globe! lol Thanks for the advice! This has been the *most* frustrating part of the job so...

  7. Special Needs "Classroom" Nurse

    safarirn replied to momto2lilgirls's topic in School

    The fact you are questioning the children's safety being new grad LPN taking this position, instead of just jumping on it for the hours/ schedule makes me believe you are going to be a caring nurse. I...

  17. Staff Members who refuse treatment ???

    safarirn replied to Keepstanding's topic in School
