California is a mess! Plan on everything taking wayyyyy longer than you expected. It's been this way for awhile now. Just to be "safe" I would budget about 2-3 month delay on paperwork.

Wow! Our school is not organized at ALL. I really try my best to keep everything in order in case of emergencies, but honestly it's the coaches/teachers who panic and call 911, before I have even had to chance to check anything out. 911 should only b...

I am signed up with an agency to try out Correctional Nursing in my summer off time. I too, am tired of making way below what my friends are making in the "real "world.

I go total technical talk... MY license from the state of California doesnt not allow me to diagnose only treat. You as the parent are responsible in determining medical needs. Yeah I get alot of "then what are good are you"- (what are you there for)...

I've noticed more and more job postings asking for RN or LVN for the same position. I was upset when I applied for a job like that recently, only to be told basically I was not qualified. I just don't understand why employers are lumping RN and LVN p...

Yeah I just think they are throwing the nursing net out there to see what they catch! But I swear it seems like more and more employers are doing it.

I will try to make this short... In a nut shell, Special ED director sent me an email asking that the Special ED teacher, be able to send her special needs students home without question. SpecED teacher was annoyed at my assessment of NO fever, and a...

Hi everyone just an update if you can call it that! My boss the principle just casually says on Friday at 3:45pm, (4:00pm we leave) that he will be meeting with the SPED director to go over it. That's it, nothing more

I actually broke out in Hives on my chest for being so upset with the rude behavior of the Aide and the teacher hanging up on me. Yes, I do believe the teacher sends the kids home because she doesn't want to deal with it. I had 2 more of her kids com...

Just a little backround to the story- They took students temp in their classroom was 99.5. Our policy is 100.4. I took temp- 98.9/99.3 I take temps on both temples and middle forehead for best results. Normal temp, Aide freaked out and said I don't...

I have the opposite effect at my school. All the crazies like talking with me, and I spend alot of time on the phone listening to everything going on at home. All the staff members ask me if I can call home cause no one wants to talk with the parents...

I am usually the first go to person at school, but recently Ive noticed the LVN who teaches CNA classes has been up front more often. I don't mind if she's helping, but today she asked me for Sterile water to flush out a staff members finger. I gave ...

You could always try your hand at school Nursing. You basically have the same schedule as a teacher M-F and weekends, holidays, and summers off. It will be less money, but if you are trying to become a teacher, you will make less money anyways. It's ...

My question is regarding the above titles- What difference if any are there between the two? I am located in California if that makes a difference. RN started out as Credentialed School Nurse, but has since signed a contract and says she is only all...

I was able to take IV CERT course without having my actual license yet. I just provided my graduation/school transcripts.

I have been an LVN for over 4 years. I was very lucky to land as my first job, working at a school health office. I've learned a couple things these past years. I make alot on paper, $28/hr but in reality with everything taken out, my pay is more lik...

I entered the program after working for 2 years also. I had never heard about it, and when my old College HEALD" went out of business I began researching my loans more and stumbled on this. https://allnurses.com/member-863899/ please let me know wha...

I work in a low-income eligible school for Student Loan Forgiveness. I have about $50,000 total, but am only getting maybe $25,000 of that covered by the program. I've been enrolled for 3 years, and the paperwork was easy, no hassle. Im in California...

I talk with my co-worker who is a counselor. She brings a new light to me when I complain. She explained it to me... If you were the teacher and had an annoying kid distrupting the class, wouldn't you want them out asap. I get it. I do my due diligen...

I mostly get asked- What RASH is this from? I work in the mountains, so who knows what bugs/spiders/bee/snakes or other outside creatures gave you that!

I will look or assist my co-workers/teachers if they need help, but we have a hotline like you for staff to call if they have gotten hurt on the JOB. My job is taking care of student's needs.

School LVN, 1st and only job as a nurse

I had an interview about a year ago, and it was very eye-opening for me. There were 2 people doing the interview, and they had a paper taped to the table in front of me, asking multiple questions regarding scenarios. Each one was very difficult to an...

Just started back to work yesterday, after being sick all last week. The front desk (secretary) DID NOT log anything. She simply was to busy and it just slipped her mind. Thankfully the school I work for is pretty small, and not alot happens, but I g...

These 2 things are my petpeeves! 1- keys situation ( All AD-min and office staff) 2- bathroom in my office (EVERY ONE) I used to have the learning director surprise me every morning when I wen't to unlock my office door. She would sometimes just be...
