Oh Yes! The stay at home mom, who freaked out when I had her 8th grade daughter call her to let her explain how in the middle of class around 12:30 ish- her arm/shoulder JUST OUT OF KNOW WHERE, started hurting. The mom totally chews me out, saying I ...
I know I should watch what I say, but this last week at work has been brutal. Ive had maybe 5-8 students come in everyday. It's a good thing, but I am really struggling to find stuff to do. Mean while, the RN is bursting at the seems with things she ...

She said she asked the Head Nurse of the districts, and only certified school nurse could do hearing. She did not ask about vision testing. Why would you ask for 1 and not the other? But as far as volunteers- I have no clue who she is using for that....

I am an LVN. I wanted to try something other than school nursing- so I tried a job at a drug/rehab type program. My main duties along with nursing was some social work type stuff. It didn't work out for me, but I am glad I tried something different. ...

In defense of the front desk personnel, my point and shoot therm is ALWAYS off. I just figure they are normal temp if it doesn't show anything above 99.5. I can't imagine if I told a kid or his parent his temp was 90.7 which is sometimes what pops up...

I have mixed feelings. I start to get "bored" in my career (LVN) and I think I want to go back for RN but then reality sets in and I just don't have the time,money, or drive to go back to school. My job, my income, my family, and my happiness. Right ...
My first 2 years, I took the deferred pay out of my check for summers. But I began to notice that in August and Sept my deferred pay was not enough to cover bills. So I stopped having them take it out, more monthly income, and what I did to make up f...

I feel your pain. I am LVN to a school of about 600+ high/jr kids. I am here fulltime and it is me who gets to deal with everything. Last 3 years here were very painful. But I stuck it out, and this year has been wonderful. We have a new principle, a...
Hello, I have this struggle alot. Yes I know becoming an RN will open doors for me, but at what point do you tell yourself, I am really okay with being an L.V.N. I have a great job, make decent $ and my older kids are almost graduated from high scho...
I voted No, but that's mostly because I will not take it out myself, but have no problem offering the disposable plastic tweezers for them to remove it. I did once try to get out a staple in a kids arm, but it was basically hanging out already and ev...
