Hi all, I'm a new nurse starting my first full year as a school nurse (last year I came in January) and my administration is asking me to do some inservice with the faculty. They want me to specifically review with teachers the importance of protecti...

Thanks, I will make sure to focus on the positive as well :)

Hi, does anyone have clinic rules (expectations) posted in their clinic? I'm a new school nurse but I'm a former teacher. I know the job descriptions & settings are very different but after my first 3 days I noticed that a lot of the middle schoo...

@Tattooed_LPN2b Hi, the school nurse job is Monday-Friday and its 40 hours per week at roughly $14 per hour. The home health job right now is one client that I see every Friday and Saturday night for a skilled nursing visit which lasts about an hour...

Hi Everyone, I'm a new LPN (graduated July 2015 and passed boards November 2015). I interviewed and was offered a position as a school nurse. This will be my 1st job out of school. The pay is not the best but the schedule works best as I have a schoo...

Hi, I'm a new LPN starting my first job as a contract, PRN home health nurse. I have one client so far. There is no stock supply of items such as gloves, thermometer probe covers or alcohol wipes, etc... we provide everything for ourselves. What sup...

Thank you for all of your advice and feedback.

Hi, I am new and that's why I am inquiring. I'm doing skilled nursing with this one client that I have been assigned. I know not to check BG without orders but in school was trained to check pulse ox for all patients as apart of taking vitals. I admi...

Will do. Thank you again for your advice and knowledge.

Hi I'm a new LPN starting 2 new jobs... One as a school nurse and the other as a contract, PRN home health nurse via a staffing agency. The HH job is contract; therefore, there are no benefits, no liability insurance, no nothing... Any suggestions f...

Thank you for the information. There is an RN on staff that overseas the cases. Right now I've accepted only on client. They had me fill out paperwork for Employer Tax ID # but then in additional paperwork it said that they don't take out taxes and ...

í ½í¸ž Yeah, umm the papers they had me read and sign state that I'm an independent sub contractor and they are not liable for anything including injuries to the client or to myself.

I see its different in all states. I'm in Florida.The schools in my school district hire LPNs and there is an RN that comes to the school once a week to oversee what the LPN has done, paperwork, case management, etc.

Yes, I need the study time. I plan to retake my sciences (they are more than 10 years old) to apply to RN school. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback. I've accepted a PRN home health job for weekends only. Monday thru Friday I'll be doing school nursing. Prayerfully the two work out and I'm able to stay up on my skills. Thanks again.

Hi Snowybee, I would say take sometime and reevaluate what went wrong to cause you to fail the course... if its just one course can you appeal the program? Are you trying to work and go to school at the same time? How much time do you spend studying...

Hi mlk3792, I won't graduate for another 2 1/2 months but I would like to start utilizing the ATI resources more. I have ATI books that were given for each course and access to ATI online. I do the practice questions in the books and the modules onli...

Hi, I just recently did an assignment with that exact NANDA nursing diagnosis. I don't understand the whole "scholarly journal" requirement from your instructor but I would suggest typing in Google "NANDA, nursing diagnosis, impaired physical mobilit...

Hi All, I was wondering how fast paced are your PN programs with covering and testing on material? I'm in my 4th month of PN school and I'm doing well. I'm just feeling overwhelmed because we have went from testing twice a week to testing every singl...

Hi, Can someone please share with me a simpler definition of actual vs. potential nursing diagnosis? Also to clarify-- the risk nursing diagnosis and the potential nursing diagnosis are NOT the same. Thanks, UB

Hi, I'm in my 4th month of LPN school so please bear with me. What are the most common types of syringes used on a day to day basis by LPNs? I'm asking because I'm struggling with this on my Pharm math quizzes and I need to get this down before I tak...
