   P~You make a lot of good points and your emphasis on the "liability" thing is convincing enough. I am an experienced LPN but I don't think I want to be fully liable either. I would probably feel better being employed for now. I am not a big risk take...

   I was just looking over our last conversation and wondering who gave you the quote of 6-$700 and secondly, what you mean by me expecting to accept full liability? Isn't that way we get insurance? Or is that what you mean? Occuvax is now paying $28 a...

   I have the Velcro straps (or Juxta fit) compression garments also. I don't use them often though, usually when I go camping because it's easier. At home I have to wrap because I find that I get the most out of wrapping. But Juxta fit just doesn't do ...

   Probably not patient care at this point. I am an LPN so I am not sure what other options are available to me. I would be open to the latter suggestions in your post but not sure if I am qualified for some of them.

   Thank you for your prompt response. I was reading something that you wrote to somebody else regarding insurance and figure the quote that I received was low. Now I know why I was hesitant to sign the contract. I really don't have the extra cash to p...

   I have a ton of questions..Has anyone worked for Occuvax? Can you please tell me roughly (on average) how many people you have to vaccinate in your clinics? I know in nursing sometimes we don't get a break. How does that apply to flu clinics? What ki...

   Does anybody out there work with lymphedema. I am a bone marrow transplant survivor and got lymphedema in both legs secondary to lymphadenectomy for Hodgkins disease. I worked FT in LTC with it and managed my legs all along. They are in stage 2-3 now...
