1. Inappropriate to ask teachers to stop sending kids after a certain time?

   Scorchednurse posted a topic in School

   School gets out at 330. Yesterday I had 24 kids sent to my office after 3. We have to document quite a bit about every student that comes in. Every single one was headache/stomachache. Today...19 after 3. Ok if someone has some bleeding mess, loses c...

   Wow...there must have been a very large amount of lactating women in one place to change a break room to a lactation room...that's pretty intense!!

   Cooll! Thanks for the info! I'm feeling out this area of nursing and love the input from those who are more well versed than I!

7. Holy pay cut shock!

   Scorchednurse replied to Scorchednurse's topic in School

   Indeed, I have one friend who is a school nurse who doesn't get paid for breaks in her district. In mine though, we are structured exactly the same as teachers so there's about 4 months you are paid for that you don't get up and go to work so that in...

   Scorchednurse replied to Scorchednurse's topic in Career Support

   Well good thing they didn't want to measure my waist...I'd have been disqualified right there! nteresting experience ! We already know we're held to higher standards than other fields. I wonder where it's appropriate to draw the line? I have though ...

9. Want to Change Locked Unit. What Do I Say?

   Scorchednurse replied to Newgurl17's topic in Geriatric

   Yes! I have seen so many nurses get fired with good intentions but being perceived as trouble. I've done it myself. Sent a text to the DON about a serious neglect concern and she forwarded my text to all of the other administrators and said this ones...

10. Insubordination

    Scorchednurse replied to Trickyp713's topic in Geriatric

    Doesn't mean you're covering your a**from being fired...but you're probably better off for not being there then. I worked in a "post acute" (where the acuity was ridiculous for the setting) and in one shift was given 67 patients with 3 sets of keys f...

    We have a list of reportable illnesses for the cdc and a form that goes along with it. Usually it's the diagnosing practitioners office or hospital that submits the paperwork then the cdc follows up with the pt/family

13. Intrusive application questions!

    Scorchednurse replied to Scorchednurse's topic in Career Support

    Yes your work history is open season. That wasn't what I considered intrusive. I just never have seen a full sheet that had to be sent back before employment can start. I think every job I've had has required contacting former employers. Just found t...

14. Intrusive application questions!

    Scorchednurse replied to Scorchednurse's topic in Career Support

    That's what I wondered! Was this in the 50's? Those are all on the list of things we're expressly prohibited from asking!

15. Intrusive application questions!

    Scorchednurse replied to Scorchednurse's topic in Career Support

    Yeah...I certainly chose to pass on them. I do believe it's standard for them to contact prior employers...having them fill out a whole survey was surprising lol. We always have the right to turn a job down, I just feel in the last handful of years e...
