  1. Most Frustrating Thing ?

    "Not my circus, not my monkeys."--I like that! Must remember to repeat to self often!! I'm just finding this post...bad day at work...I would say at my school the biggest frustration is that the administration doesn't understand that it's a problem w...
  2. third time's a charm!

    Congratulations to you!! Great story about not giving up!! The whole testing system is from Mars, so it takes some tips and lots of practice to truly master it. Plus, all the extra study you put in...that will benefit you on the job so much! I'm sure...
  3. Everyone Won't Succeed. And That's Okay!

    Interesting article. Especially interesting for me because I am working as a school nurse in an alternative program for middle and high school students. So many of these kids come from rough background. After meeting the parent of a kid who really m...
  4. Update: Things have calmed down with this student. I haven't had any trouble in two weeks. By sticking to the plan, he knows what is expected and seems to have come around. He still doesn't like me much, personally, but he does make eye contact and I...
  5. Thank you all for the advice. I have managed to come to terms with my own concerns over this kid. My husband (long time manager) told me to do my job, even if it means the end of my job. I appreciated this so much because part of my concern has been ...
  6. No mentoring program. Single parent household, no dad.
  7. Because I basically spoke my mind and told the assistant principal I did not agree, I did not feel supported, I felt if it were the other kid, they would be supporting me, I told them I felt it was a double standard that last years nurse was allowed ...
  8. Suffered a set back today. Discovered the administration is not going to do the right thing. They were doing lip service to it for the benefit of the clinical student who was with us that day and listening. I can still hear, "We're going to do everyt...
  9. Thank you for the replies. I've had him upfront with his meds in the principal's office (my office is isolated in the back of the school). Today he pulled a stunt. His blood sugar was below 70 and he said he would eat. We observed him, and he was no...
  10. Wonderful!! Best wishes :)
  11. Hi! In general, the kids are working with me well in the Health Office. I am having trouble with one of my diabetic kids. I think he might have a crush on the former nurse. He's in high school and she looks like she is too, even though she is in over...
  12. I'm sorry for the slow reply. I have been so very busy with my new job and RN-BSN program. I have not been on All Nurses at all! Hopefully, you will get this reply. Basically, I graduated nursing school almost two years ago with an ADN. First, I appl...
  13. New RN how to 'manage' CNAs

    One suggestion that I feel is really worthwhile is if everyone takes 15 minutes around the clock on a rotational basis with the very confused, very difficult dementia patients who wants to get up and will just end up on the floor with a broken hip- i...
  14. New RN how to 'manage' CNAs

    When it is abused, which is probably the case at this location since management brought it up at all, there are no CNA's left on the floor to answer call bells because they are all teamed up behind closed doors. This is a real problem! They can't jus...
  15. Why do you visit allnurses.com?

    At first, because I couldn't find a job. Next, to vent after I finally did find a job. Afterwards, to share my crushing disappointment when the job ended abruptly. During the time between jobs, to learn about different specialties by reading the post...
