4. So disappointed with on-line program

   algae1492 replied to JBMmom's topic in NP Students

   I could have chosen a lesser quality education, but I quit my job and found a schedule that works around my uni's.

5. So disappointed with on-line program

   algae1492 replied to JBMmom's topic in NP Students

   I attend lab hours every week for insight into real world practice and scenarios. There is so much that needs to be learned that we need baseline knowledge prior to utilizing the expansive resources available online or through mobile devices.

   algae1492 replied to JBMmom's topic in NP Students

   My patho course was extremely difficult, taught by a phd in physio who is well-respected in the field from ivy uni, proctored exams, and there was a heavy emphasis on organic and biochemistry throughout.

   Well-done. Situations like this occur once in a while, and they tend to go unnoticed.

   algae1492 replied to BethG26's topic in School

   Yes it will.

10. What would you have done?

    algae1492 replied to J-lynn's topic in School

    Seems fine. She is not altered, nor is she unstable. If parent requests for 911, then it is a different story. Focus on interventions to provide a safe school environment from this point forward.

12. Student Body Odor

    algae1492 replied to AzElemNurse's topic in School

    Smart move! In the past, I have addressed the issue myself. Assessed student to determine factors r/t to foul odor (ie. refuse to shower, not wearing deodorant, parent refusing to wash clothes, etc.). Then, I notified the parent. It ends up with eit...

13. IEP/504 Help!

    algae1492 replied to jamesRN92's topic in School

    Your role in a IEP vs 504 is completely different. It requires more training than what is posted online. Seriously, though, advocate for yourself and acquire the necessary training. You've been given good advice in this thread.

14. Type 1 diabetics, help!

    algae1492 replied to cjl_RN's topic in School

    The responses in this thread are terrifying. Follow physician orders. Not all students require carb coverage. If you have any concerns or input you should consult provider assuming you have a release.

15. Help with diabetic students

    algae1492 replied to J-lynn's topic in School

    Independent management orders exist and they're typically completed after demonstrated competence.
