    Working for Summer school?

    beachynurse replied to cowboysandangels's topic in School

    Wow, 5 days notice and no choice? Our district has us apply for Summer school just to see who applies. Nurses who's schools are Summer school automatically get their own schools unless they request...

    Rejected from job listings

    beachynurse replied to Heccadecca's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't know where you are from, but I find that it can be difficult to get into specialty nursing without a strong background in med-surg. I always suggest that new grads get a good 2-3 years...

    Job interview

    beachynurse replied to Animal House R.N.'s topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Teacher Issue...

    beachynurse replied to CarlyCastaneda's topic in School

    Co-worker issues

    beachynurse replied to Chanden's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So this LPN was delegating to you? I don't know about in your state, but in VA, an LPN cannot delegate to another LPN, and an LPN definitely cannot delegate to an RN. That's one problem right there,...

    Getting off orientation too early?

    beachynurse replied to Bean0621's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to be the naysayer here, but my ex-husband was in the Military, and we had 2 moves in his career that we had about 30 days notice. In fact, on one of those moves was less than 30 days. We don't...

    service animal in a high school

    beachynurse replied to Kristen D's topic in School

    I totally get what you are saying. However, that child's rights will supersede yours 100%. We had a student that was going to bring a service dog to school, and there was a child with a similar issue...

    beachynurse replied to kkadi's topic in School

    beachynurse replied to Thomas Murray's topic in General Nursing

    tmurray, It is about her learning to manage her own affairs. If she wants to go to nursing school, she will have to learn to do this. You are not going to be able to fight her battles there. If...

    Teachers retiring because of COVID

    beachynurse replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    beachynurse replied to CaliRN2019's topic in General Nursing
