I am looking for any tips on reducing fever in young children. Any tips would be great. Thanks!

Does anyone think airborne improves your chances of not getting viral infections? Has anyone used it with success? Thanks for any input. :)

Thanks, I think I will try it. My daughter just started school, and this is the 2nd time she has had a viral cold. I'll try anything now.

Has anyone given it to a child?

I worked as a pharm. tech for a month. I was already an LPN. If you are a nurse, it will drive you crazy. Pharm techs FILL the prescription. I worked there 2 weeks and I was filling meds. The pharmacist just opens the bottle, looks at it, and off it ...

I lived in West Frankfort/Christopher IL most of my life. Graduated nursing from Rend Lake College. I live in Southwest Florida now. LPN roles are very different here. We can do IV pushes, hang TPN, and much more!

I have worked in LTC as a LPN. LPN's in Florida pass meds, assessments, administer meds through IV's, and much more. The RN and LPN's duties as a charge nurse are the same. At my facility, a RN was not present at night. We take telephone orders, call...

I have decided to leave my LTC. I really feel like the working conditions there are putting my lic. at risk. The only thing is I have limited nursing experience, and I want them as a reference. I guess what I'm asking is, what is the best excuse for ...

I finally did it! I quit! I feel alot better. Now I have no idea what to do! I'm thinking about leaving nursing for awhile, so I can spend more time at home with my family. Thank you for all your advice. By the way, the DON was super nice and I am st...

I also have a question about "at will" states. I though that meant that you could be fired at anytime, not that you can quit without notice. Does anybody know?

Although my situation is different, I understand how you feel. I just started a thread about quiting my current position. I am a new nurse, and unlike some seasoned nurses I will not say to "suck it up". Life is to short, and family time is to valuab...

I have pretty much stayed at home with my child since I got my lic. The place that I am working at is just terrible. Any place will be an improvement. I'm thinking about a doctors office position I saw advertised. One more question, if I do not give ...

What is the shortest amount of notice you can give that is acceptable? the ltc facility is currently at full staff.

I found out through other nurses that they do it for state survey purposes. That way they have proof you knew correct procedure. I also found out it is the time to ask any questions about clinical procedures. We are also having a resp. therapist give...

I just went to work in a SNF in Florida. We have to do a skills review with the DON in a couple of weeks. Has anyone had to do this? I have no idea what to expect. I got my lic. in another state, we did not have to do this there. Thanks for any advic...
