  9. HUGE mistake

    lvnforschool replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    lvnforschool replied to Farawyn's topic in School

  15. All in good fun?

    lvnforschool replied to Nurse.jen's topic in School

    I have learned that this is a job with no recognition of what we really do. Kids even ask me, all you do is hand out bandaids and give icepacks. I mean I could get into the whole my license prohibits...

    lvnforschool replied to Gertiegirl's topic in School

    lvnforschool replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    I love it when the teacher tells me kiddo is not doing their work, and they are sending them to me. HUH? Sounds like a discipline problem if they dont want to do their work, not a NURSING issue. Of...
