    American nurses association

    mc3 replied to Butt3rfly's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No, it's only for RN's. It's one of my biggest pet peeves. Imagine the power they'd have with 800,000+ more members... A nurse is a nurse is a nurse, right??? I think it's a form of snobbery;...

    Grants for private LPN programs

    mc3 replied to SinglemomLPNstudent's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    To be honest I think you need to reflect on why you've flunked 5 times and not spend any more $$ (grant or not) until you figure out why. Sometimes, despite our desires, it's just not meant to be......

    mc3 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    mc3 replied to fetch's topic in School

    I once had a Mom who was very upset with me, to the point she requested via the AP that I no longer care for her child. Apparently she felt insulted and was quite angry. Reason? I'd called home...

    Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

    mc3 replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    Ok, I thought I'd had some students sent up for pretty stupid reasons, but this takes the cake (at least for this week!) Student comes up with a buddy, holding a paper towel over her eyes. Buddy is...

    Fire Drills

    mc3 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Question: do you take all your meds out with you when you go?(drill or real event!). I have about 50-60 kids I have meds for. If I were to stop and gather all those, I think I'd be dead before I...

    Sending kids home

    mc3 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    That's what I do. There's no reason Johnny or Jane needs to sit in the clinic when they could be in class learning something.

    Parents sending kids to you before the bell

    mc3 replied to loveschoolnursing's topic in School

    Aaarghh!!! Why did they send you to school, then? Actually, I figured out why. Usually the student is a frequent absentee..if they're kept home from school it's an unexcused absence. If I send...

    Yes, I do and it annoys me to no end. I, too, have send out flyers, put on our website and in our newsletter what our policies are. If the student appears in front of me, I'll call the parent and...

    What would you have done?

    mc3 replied to chicago_RN's topic in Home Health

    Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    mc3 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Just a thought....include LPN's the ANA or any national organization. Better yet, have one organization incorporate all levels of nurses. There are 800,000+ of us, and yes, we really are nurses....
