  1. School Nurse Concerns

    It seems as if your corporation sees the school nurse role as being important. An LPN in each school in addition to RN's is awesome!
  2. School Nurse Concerns

    I agree with you this is concerning. Although you do have a license aren't you also required to work underneath a RN? I'm guessing the corporation would just state that they haven't been able to hire one?
  3. School Nurse Concerns

    There is a full time BSN minimum RN in each of our 23 schools. All middle and high schools have a part time office aide to handle the increased population. THIS is awesome to hear! I hate to admit that until a few years ago I assumed that each of ou...
  4. School Nurse Concerns

    The corporation has 1 RN that is at the high school (approx. 950 students), an LPN at the middle school (aprox. 750), 1 LPN at elementary A (approx. 500), a UAP at elementary B (approx. 500), and a UAP at elementary C (approx. 300). So the RN is resp...
  5. School Nurse Concerns

    What do you feel is your biggest concern in regards to lack of use of RN's within the school? Are any of you the only RN for your school district? If so, what is your student body size? I'm in my final semester of completing my BSN and I've been wo...
  6. Unethical?

    I'm glad that you responded that sometimes it can be the patient that is the manipulative one and the RN the vulnerable one. I do believe that this scenario is more in lines with that. Regardless of my thoughts on that I still believe that it is unet...
  7. Unethical?

    I'm not in PA. I'm from Indiana. :)
  8. Unethical?

    I became aware via facebook posts of "in a relationship with" and other very obvious posts there was/ is in fact a relationship. I'm saddened to say that several other coworkers knew before I (via facebook) and told me that I would "get over it in a ...
  9. Unethical?

    Is it unethical to date a recent patient? A coworker was the nurse for this patient and days after discharge she was "in a relationship" with this patient. We work psych and this seems unethical and a boundary issue to me. It makes me sick to my stom...
  10. Nurse patient ratio

    This is a crisis unit? Oh my.... hope you never need the 2nd nurse to pull meds or call the psychiatrist when things go bad.
  11. Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

    I'm in awe that some schools already have policies in place for transgender students. Kudos to the school nurses that are making these children feel accepted.
  12. Nurse patient ratio

    That is a very high nurse to patient ratio! What type of unit is this? Depression, older adult, or acute? I'm also wondering if this is short term stay or extended? Thanks for the information- my unit isn't seeming so bad right now!
  13. Nurse patient ratio

    What is the nurse to pt ratio on your inpatient psych unit? Mht to pt ratio?
  14. Psychiatric Nurses and Safety

    I've worked inpatient psych for five years. Of course I've had some bad experiences but also many rewarding ones. I don't believe that there is much difference in psych vs other inpatient units except you are more aware of potential situations thus p...
  15. Self Harm Patients

    I've worked on an inpatient psychiatric unit for almost five years. I am still amazed about how creative some of our self harm patients are. What is the most imaginative ways that patients have been able to smuggle items onto the unit? What is consid...
