    Struggling with poor pay and a love for School Nursing

    Amethya replied to ANL6822's topic in School

    Just putting my 2 cents in. I'm just a CMA as a medical aide here. While we already all discussed my current situation on the employer I'm with, I'm honestly proud and glad on where I am now. I'm only...

    Lice Policies

    Field Trips

    Amethya replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

    Field Trips

    Amethya replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

    I don't go on the field trips, which I don't mind. The only thing I provide is the meds and list of children with allergies. For me it's less kids in a day to worry about. I am thinking of chaperoning...
