    Student will be in kindergarten. Can I ask how you approached the training issue with the parents? They are very touchy...student does have a "medical" 504 but it does not specify who changes the...

    He/She Said What!?

    mc3 replied to BritBSNRN's topic in General Nursing

    mc3 replied to sissyspace93's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was looking in to joining either NAPNES or NFLPN. I once belong to NFLPN but I didn't really see any benefit so I stopped. I looked at NAPNES recently and I thought the same thing you did -...

    Average "Wait Time" For A Parent?

    mc3 replied to jodys-girl's topic in School

    I've had some parents leave their kids for 2+ hrs; most seem to be able to pick up in an hr. or less. Of course, it's the kids who have fevers but are still running around my office asking me "why"...

    "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    mc3 replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    No, you're not the only one. I'm an LPN, and the RN I used to work with called me "my LPN". I never called her "my RN", I always called her by her name. It always bothered me, but I couldn't pin...

    mc3 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I had a first grader come up today. He had diarrhea and accidently pooped in his pants, and his tummy felt "mad". After he changed I asked him if he had it at home too, and he said yes but didn't...

    mc3 replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Umm, no, actually I'm pretty much a conservative :) As I said, this will catch up to her, and it surely reflects poorly on your instructors and program. It's most definitely wrong! Hopefully she...

    You know, I'll probably get flamed for this but...Yes, it's terrible this happened and reflects poorly on the school and your instructors that this is allowed to go on. However, in the whole scheme...
