   I HATE ringbacks on cell phones "while your party is being reached". I usually use speaker phone when making phone calls so I can have my hands free to multi task, but some of the vulgarity of those songs is embarrasing especially with little kids in...

7. What is your BIGGEST pet peve about school nursing ?

   kimbernurse replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

   I make the kids that jump off the bus and come straight to the health room go to class first to "check in" with teacher and get a pass. After they do that, then they can come back and see me. I can say that most never return!

12. Fake Illness

    kimbernurse replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I love the mass histeria that is so contagious when one student vomits/get sick. It seems that the rest of the class has sympathy pains or something (especially when little Johnny goes back to the class room to retrieve his bookbag and tells everyone...

14. Questioning Our Compassion

    kimbernurse replied to TraumaNurseRN's topic in Emergency

    ER nurses definitely have strong personalities! I think you'll pretty much find that in any ER and any ICU. I think we kinda have to be that way, you know, hold our ground so we won't be manipulated and taken advantage of. We have to make snap decisi...
