  1. scrubs or business casual

    i wear business casual. I would feel uncomfortable in scrubs with everyone else in "normal" clothes. I work at the high school but some other nurses in the district wear scrubs, and some wear street clothes
  2. End of year meds?

    Nope. I do a printout of all students who have med orders. Then, I go through and determine who has actual meds here at school from that list. I then print out an individual med list for each student, and located which drawer of the med cart their me...
  3. Evacuation Drill

    WE are having our first ever evacuation drill today. We are evacuating to the field house (the giant gym). Me and my aide are to report to the athletic office. I am bringing my med cart, my emergency bag, and a printout of all my med orders. Anything...
  4. The Snow Day Thread!

    I live/work in a suburban district in Western NY state so... we NEVER have snow days. Lol it'll be -15 degrees out, 4 feet of snow and here we are. Im exaggerating, but seriously, its tough to get a snow day! Usually it'll be because of extreme cold,...
  5. How is your office set up/decorated?

    Just because I'm curious. What level are you - elementary, middle school, high school, etc? How is your office set up - where is your desk, cabinets, how big is the space, do you have a bathroom, where in the building is it? Whats on the walls, and c...
  6. Summer jobs?

    I also work in Ny (western NY). I work per diem on a rehab unit 2 shifts a month (its where I used to work fulltime) and then in the summer I work more. They are very short staffed so I always have work when i need/want it. This summer I am thinking...
  7. Sub Folder - med list

    Thank you. This is my 2nd year here (and last year I was out for almost 3 months on maternity leave!) so I'm still learning things. I don't have much interaction with other school nurses so I like to see how others "do it."
  8. Sub Folder - med list

    I'm updating my sub folder and want to put a list of students and their meds and med times (we use SNAP and a sub does not have access to that info.) Does anyone use a template that nicely organizes it? Did you just make one up or find anything print...
  9. Wrapping Injuries

    I don't usually wrap. I'm nervous of that liability. What if I wrap and it turns out to be fractured and wrapping it worsened the injury? Only things I will do is buddy tape a finger, which I don't do often. and I will rewrap if a student comes in wi...
  10. head laceration

    This sounds like a minor laceration. Changing the bloody gauze was appropriate. Leaving it would have been appropriate too but for a smaller/minor laceration, I'd change it. I probably would have at least rinsed the wound but since he was going to ur...
  11. This was me last year. I interviewed for my current school nurse job around 17 weeks pregnant (wasn't showing much). i did NOT say anything then. They legally can't ask and you don't have to tell them. It shouldn't effect their decision. I didn't eve...
  12. worth the debt? Im stuck on this decision...)

    Here's my imput... I have a BA degree in poli sci. I went to a state school and accum'ed about 20K in debt. Worked for a couple years for a mortgage company and made no money and decided to pursue my nursing dream. I started taking pre-req's at commu...
  13. am i reasonably resigning?

    First: If you have federal loans - call the servicer and see if you can get put on an income based repayment plan (IBR). 1000$/month is crazy. If they're private loans, you're basically SOL tho. Second: that is a crazy workload and doesn't sound lik...
  14. Would you hold Metformin fot a BS level of 149

    I wouldn't hold it or even think to hold it. In your particular situation with the sup saying that, I would have called the provider or HO and asked to clarify.
  15. First off, you are not a slave. Technically you can leave anytime you want. Do they give you 4 weeks notice if they are going to can you? I don't think so. There is no law that says you even have to give 2 weeks. HOWEVER - That said, they can give b...
