1. Fired from first hospital job

   Shellaaay10x replied to nurseblondie26's topic in General Nursing

   I remember in nursing school to always check the Md order and the mar before patient administration just in case orders change. It has been a while since I did med admin like this, since I am a school nurse and med pass is quite different. Lol

2. Introduction

   Welcome to school nursing! You'll have the little snowflakes that come in because of a hangnail and you'll have ones that were playing basketball and hit their head right on the concrete! Kids are so much fun!

3. RN Graduate Establishes Dominance

   Shellaaay10x replied to nicmdavi's topic in General Nursing

   I just meant that everyone should be treated equally. Just like the OP stated "I was never treated as a lesser equal" compared to the RNs she has worked for. I was just stating my personal previous experience as a uap which unfortunately there were s...

4. My husband wakes me up!

   Shellaaay10x replied to BabyRN_nights's topic in General Nursing

   I don't know how to help you there unless you seriously sit him down and talk with him about how important you need your sleep. I used to work 6pm-630 am not getting home until 7 then finally falling asleep around 8. My husband used to ALWAYS wake m...

5. What's on your lunch menu?

   Shellaaay10x replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

   Yikes 106gm?!?!?! Are you sure? I'm just asking because my t1d got a beef burger from the school and the nutrional list they sent us the carbs said "100". We had to ask the lady who is in charge of all this and they actually labeled it totally wrong...

6. Thanksgiving Break is Upon Us!

   Shellaaay10x replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

   The one thing I get nervous about during this time is all the class parties with the diabetics wanting to eat every sugary thing they get their hands on while the teachers don't let us know until like 30 min before the party!!!! Drives me crazy! Oth...

7. Been thought of as the bad guy?

   Shellaaay10x replied to Amethya's topic in School

   I've gotten yelled at by parents who "swore they turned the papers in" (dental/chdp- which I never received),who's daughters' "eyes were swollen" (no redness or swelling just slightly irritated from RUBBING THEM). Then I have teachers that send their...

8. Nurses with children always go home early?

   Shellaaay10x replied to Agatha12's topic in General Nursing

   I try my best to leave on time to pick up my daughter from school. I'm lucky that my job allows me to do that.

9. Re wrapping splints?

   Shellaaay10x replied to Shellaaay10x's topic in School

   The whole thing was off. The wrap and the splint. I put the splint back on (which stabilized finger already) but I did not want to wrap it, which was previously wrapped in a coband-like bandage. (The mom was calling it "tape"). Elastic bandage is th...

10. YOUR Childhood School Nurse memories

    Shellaaay10x replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I only went into the office 3x my whole school career, and that was senior high when I was dx with mono. I had a doc's note stating whenever I was tired I was free to go in and rest. it was boring and I would just return to class. LOL!

11. Re wrapping splints?

    Shellaaay10x replied to Shellaaay10x's topic in School

    Of course I would not just send her on her way without doing anything, that is why I called the parent up to come reapply it. No way I would be aware of something and not do anything about it. We had applied the splint back on her finger, I just did ...

13. Re wrapping splints?

    Shellaaay10x replied to Shellaaay10x's topic in School

    Thanks everybody for your input! I'm guessing everyone here would have rewrapped it...lol!

14. Re wrapping splints?

    Shellaaay10x replied to Shellaaay10x's topic in School

    I looked deeper into the situation and apparently that "athletic director" was the former "athletic trainer" for the high school. But I am not an athletic trainer, so no, I still would have not re applied the splint. Considering the fact that the da...

15. Re wrapping splints?

    Shellaaay10x replied to Shellaaay10x's topic in School

    Exactly! These directors are not medical doctors, and do not have medical background in order to make these calls. I wasn't even mad at her yelling at me about the "tape" I was just felt a little disrespected and offended that she said she "knows my...
