  3. Lice Yikes!!!!!

    SUZY QUE, I do appreciate all the information I am sure it will be very helpful. Yes I would love the pamphlet. We have done the Olive Oil etc. These parents are just really nasty and non-caring people.
  4. Lice Yikes!!!!!

    I got the District social worker involved and she has done a home visit, not much else done. Also DSS in our county sucks and they won't take a report for Lice, even though I think it is a neglect issue. I don't know what to do.
  5. Lice Yikes!!!!!

    Well we do have a no nit policy in our county but sometimes our principal doesn't always back me about this because of absentism. I do all the stuff you do, nothing different. So I was asking if anyone had anything different to try. Also these chi...

  9. Transition from LPN to RN

    I have a question and this is usually a good place I have seen to get input. I am an LPN of 8 years and have been wanting to get my ADN degree. I can not go back to school the tradition way because I have children and work full-time and have a part...
  10. Need insight, please

    I am a school nurse in South Carolina and have been for three years. I have been a nurse for 8 years and have worked in just about every nursing position from LTC to Director of Assisted Living Facility. I choose school nursing for a change of pace...
  11. I personally think that LPN/LVN's are treated unprofessionably, at the current job I am in (a school nurse) even we have to report to an RN, we have our own schools but we have to be able to reach an RN in an emergency. Personally I think this has b...

  13. Nursing Salaries - Looking to relocate

    Clemson is a great college town in South Carolina, I have lived here for 10 years and love it from moving from the North. Plenty of hospitals to chose from 4 in the area surrounding us all within 30 minutes away. The weather is great 90 today and s...
  14. Personally I have went through several different styles and brands of nursing Nurse Mates I find very uncomfortable, I have found a great pair of the most comfortable shoes I have worn they are even more comfortable then my sneakers. I got them at K...
  15. ANA discriminates against LPN/LVN

    Brownsm46, Wow this is harse, I agree that you have a great amount of education but some of us can not afford to attend college for BSN. Personally I don't see the need to have to take all those English, Speech, etc course to become a nurse. I don'...

  18. RT/LPN/Bridge/RN

    Personally I think you should go straight for the ADN program, I am an LPN (school nurse) and love being an LPN but if I had the opportunity to do the ADN I would have. I just wanted to see what nursing was about first, and then by the time I finish...
  19. Why LPN??

    First of all some of us LPN's chose to be LPN's because we are want to get our feet in the door while waiting to get in the RN program or because we want to try out nursing to see if that is what we choose as a career. In my case I was 26 when I wen...
  20. Why is it LPN VS RN?

    \This is so sad, I feel like this if you all feel that way about LPN's you should be mad at the administration for changing things, because years ago LPN's practically ran the hospitals, the administration changed that. Don't hate the LPN hate the a...
  21. Why LPN??

    You have a real bad attitude, we are all working to help people, that's why most of us got into nursing whether we are a CNA, LPN, or RN. I really hate this debate, and you really have no business being in the healthcare field with an attitude like ...
  22. Why LPN??

    First of all Suzy Q you haven't even been a nurse long enough to even have an opinion.
