I am a LVN graduate and let me just say, DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL! I hope they have improved some, but we wen't through **12** instructors over the course of 12 months. Nothing was taught by practice on real people. It was slides on a projector, and ...

Im in CA and right now we have rain! Not sunny at all Our spring break is 3/23 until 4/3

This topic has been a huge one for me personally. I am LVN working 7th-12th grade school about 600+ kids. I have some special needs kids that I help with daily. The other school in my district is TK-6th grade. The medical assistant has been there 12+...

Im in CALI. The reason LVN make that much is because the cost of living here in outrageous. I made $36,000 last year bring home. I work for a school so I do get benefits and my summer is paid via taking a percentage out of my monthly check to set asi...

Yes and NO. I was the district's first LVN hire. The RN school nurse was in/out of the district working for last 15 years or so. It was a confusing time for me (being my first LVN job) and the district with me being the first LVN. I had a clear outli...

This job is not for everyone, and even though I am a social person I have learned you are alone quite a bit. I try to fill my days doing other things. I am an LVN so I take college classes online. This helps keep me busy on slow days. I honestly have...

Hello everyone, Need advice on this.... Student has a pump and its connected to her phone (APP) which mom also gets alerts. Our school policy is no cell phones for jr high students. She has been caught using her cell phone for social media and not ch...

Thank you everyone for the feedback. We talked it over, and ADmin is going to deal with it, because honestly it is a discipline issue.

Im not 100% sure what APP it is. All I know is that it is connected to her meter and sends alerts to her mom's phone if shes low/high. If she is away from the phone the signal is lost. So im sure there could be a fight that the phone needs to stay wi...

When I got hired, I was given a job duty list, along with who I report to... My principal. The credentialed school nurse was more like an advisor. I was lucky to have the RN only really come in once a week if that, and I ran my office. It also sucked...

How it worked for me. The school gets your financial aid money and applies it toward your balance. They will usually get 1/2 the money for each semester. so if you are expecting 9500 / by 2 semesters thats 4750 a semester of financial year. You will ...

I work at a school and I kid you not, the vice principal was a "thing" about burping. She has told staff in the lunch room if they burp she wants you to do 20 push ups!

Our district went Nut free zone a couple years ago due to student allergy. Well that same student has returned to our district this time as a jr high kid, (my school). We have given her accomidations that were listed from the doctor, but the Cafeteri...

Ive had my fair share of being called out at the end of the day maybe 5-10 minutes before school is out to assess a kid. I always do it with a smile, and when I get home I tell everyone how annoyed I really was to check a temp on a student on a FRIDA...

I recently went for a job interview in another part of my state (CA). When I first started out as an LVN, I made 23.00/hr. That was almost 5 years ago. Now this new city was over 3 hours away from my current location, and located in a upscale beach/s...

I dont know where you are from, but in CA you have to have something like 2000 (working) hours to apply for a PA program. I had a good friend of mine, do LVN, and work so he could apply. That is alot of experience, and for a good reason.

I am a LVN. My goal was to graduate LVN, and then pursue RN. Well, I got into school nursing and honestly for me, there was no reason to go back to school. At least for right now.

For as long as I have been working this job (5th school year) I've been helping a student with CP to use the restroom. She is a senior this year, and over the course of time we have gotten really close. She is the same age as my own daughter. So I be...

Thank you for your reply. I had the feeling when I talked with the FA on Saturday, it was going to a non-stop work enviroment. I honestly would of been a little more willing if she would of offered to meet me closer to the salary I am currently makin...

Hello, I am the perfect person to help you out. I am an LVN. I run the Health Office at my site. I had an RN (District Nurse) who was my overseeing boss but as far as site boss, that was/is the principal. I was hired for the health office only. I am ...

Hello, I too have been working at a school in Health office last 5 school years. I am meeting on Saturday to interview for a LVN dialysis position. Im very nervous but also excited to be doing something else. I have set this office up at the school t...

No bladder issues. We had a talk this morning, and are adjusting the times she is coming up. Her teachers have started to question her about being late to class. This is a social/bathroom visit for her. I try to let her vent her frustrations because ...

I am a LVN currently working at a school, and Im looking into starting at DaVita. It will be a huge change from what I am doing now. I am looking forward to doing "actual" nursing. I am only concerned with a couple of factors. The job is 2 hours away...

I've had some of the same "your not a nurse," but I've also had the opposite. Your a Nurse so you should know/do everything. I have to correct them, and say I am a Nurse, but only an LVN not RN. People don't know the difference in the titles and I ca...

This is why I long to find another job. I feel so bored and useless on these days where I basically sit for 7+ hours doing NOTHING! I am alone, and in the back of the school, so it's just me. I have tons of games downloaded on my cell, and I am an ex...
