  1. Keeping License Active?

    I left nursing two years ago due to the needs of family members. That situation has changed, but I didn't go back to work. I decided to let my license go inactive this October at renewal time. I just don't see myself working anymore at all, let al...

  3. What to do in family emergency situations?

    I have to comment on the poster who said that teachers, etc. have similar issues when leaving in an emergent situation...no, they don't. Teachers have no issues with being absent, leaving school during the day, or otherwise being treated like a huma...
  4. Advice on other RN specialties/careers due to health problems

    You might look into Utilization & Review, scheduling, insurance companies, or telephone triage. Hope you recover, that sounds so painful !
  5. Do they check to see if you have your BSN/Masters degree ?

    This thread is hilarious..thanks for the laugh. But, really, I am disturbed that anyone would ask this. Makes me wonder what else they would falsify if they were desperate. Just sayin...
  6. Calling in RX?

  12. Any sub school nurses out there?

    I am subbing..resigned my FT school nurse position last year. I enjoy it. The district has quite a few subs, so haven't worked that much.
  13. School nurses and Insulin

    Oh sorry, I forgot that part.... I traveled between schools... Luckily, I had 15 minutes between lunch times for the students, so I could go and take care of them myself. I had back up from another school nurse, or parent coverage when I could not...
  14. School nurses and Insulin

    It is no surprise to me that a non-medical group of people are making medical decisions. What else is new? As an elementary school nurse I refused to delegate injecting insulin to unlicensed persons at school. By law in the state of Nebraska, it ...
