1. How many days until you're out ??

   LovingOBFutureFNP replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

   I'm less than 2 hours from freedom! My students finished yesterday, and today is just a staff workday. It's been a fun year working with these kids, but I can't wait to be back in a hospital and working obstetrics again.

2. Critical Care Nurse wants to try L&D or MBU.

   LovingOBFutureFNP replied to caitiecait's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I just finished my second year as a nurse - a little over a year in the ER with OB/GYN patients, and this school year at an inner city high school as the school nurse. I'll be starting L&D in June, am planning to start FNP school this fall, and ...

3. Crutches v Wheelchair

   LovingOBFutureFNP posted a topic in School

   Oh my, I just made one of my students so mad at me! It's a shame that sometimes they think we're just out to get them instead of looking out for everyone's best interest. He came to the clinic the other day with an ankle injury after landing incorre...

4. Parkland or Baylor?

   LovingOBFutureFNP replied to ACRN06's topic in Texas

   If I ever move back to Dallas, I'd go back to Parkland in a heartbeat. Working in their ER would be an incredible experience for you. The ER is divided into medicine, surgery, trauma, psych, and OB/GYN units. The OB area is staffed with OB nurses ...

5. uh duh !

   LovingOBFutureFNP replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in School

   Yeah, I've been blessed with a very supportive administration who has backed me in everything I've done this year. It definitely makes all of the difference in the world! If I can't document a reason that a student needs to go home, I tell him he ne...

6. I cant start IV's!

   LovingOBFutureFNP replied to Creamsoda's topic in Emergency

   Two helpful hints: 1) When I was a new grad, I would find a great, bouncy vein and would aim right at it. I blew several veins before a fellow nurse saw what I was doing and gave me a tip. Don't START the IV in the best part of the vein. Remember ...

7. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

   LovingOBFutureFNP replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

   I just worked with OB/GYN patients in the ER, but we saw some pretty interesting stuff. -Box cutters in the vagina - A prisoner knew she was going to be arrested, and this was her way of trying to land herself in solitary. She refused to be treated, ...

8. Students with attendance issues

   LovingOBFutureFNP replied to SchoolNurseBSN's topic in School

   I'm two weeks away from wrapping up my school nurse gig to return to my true nursing love, obstetrics, but since I'm a school nurse for 2 more weeks... I like to drop words like "truancy officer" and "court" and "big fine" to parents whose students a...

9. Sure, I'll risk my license so you don't have to leave home

    I'm two weeks away from wrapping up my school nurse gig to return to my true nursing love, obstetrics, but since I'm a school nurse for 2 more weeks... I don't mean to step on any toes, but I feel like this might be a bit of a "teachers don't recogni...

    I'm two weeks away from wrapping up my school nurse gig to return to my true nursing love, obstetrics, but since I'm a school nurse for 2 more weeks... I can relate! My students always look at me in shock like I'm failing to do my job if I tell them...

    LovingOBFutureFNP replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    I'm about to wrap up my school nurse gig to return to my true nursing love, obstetrics, but since I'm a still school nurse for 2 more weeks... I look to see if one eye or both eyes are red, ask if the eye was matted shut or crusty in the morning, ask...

    LovingOBFutureFNP replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in School

    I'm two weeks away from wrapping up my school nurse gig to return to my true nursing love, obstetrics, but since I'm a school nurse for 2 more weeks... If a student complains of a stomachache, I assess vital signs, N/V/D/C, bowel sounds, any abdomina...
