I actually thought of the cool kids group while standing in my closet this morning when I put on my pink nurse shirt. I told myself "I'm so fetch, and I'm sittin' with the cool kids today." Let us celebrate the little things - it is what keeps us ...

No matter what your previous nursing experience is, there is a steep learning curve the first year in school nursing. But if you switch to a different specialty within a hospital, you would still have a learning curve. That is just the nature of t...

I remembered and wore pink today. One of the teachers even commented on how pink I am. Sittin' with the cool kids. I'm so fetch. ?

This saddens me, but I'm happy for you!!! I will miss your wisdom and humor. This site has been better because of your contributions; thank you. I hope you will check in on us every now and then..... but on to bigger problems, who am I going to s...

Welcome back! There is nothing quite like school nursing - it is unique. And only those who remember wear pink on Wednesday (I'm completely in blue today.)

The PE teacher and I gathered the research and presented it to the principal, and we had all the grades second and under banned from the monkey bars. This happened after an open fracture of a second grader while playing on the monkey bars. The majo...

I place folded paper towels in snack sized baggies, then fill it with a bit of water - just enough to wet the paper towel, then freeze. When pulled from the freezer one can bend it into whatever shape needed, and it stays cold "just long enough." A...

Totally unfetch.... in black. ? It was sort of my mood this morning. I need spring break now.

You have accomplished an amazing amount of goals since 2015 - congratulations!

Our district requires a clinic pass for each student's visit. I like them for multiple reasons. One - my first year as a school nurse, I had a 4th grade child enter the clinic without a pass, but looking horrible and had been vomiting; he had a fev...

A while ago, I told my young adult daughter about allnurses forum, the school nurse group, and the "we wear pink on Wednesday." So last night she and I were discussing laundry (she has relocated due to her profession, and she is staying with us for ...

Spring break starts in five minutes. We added Friday, the 9th, and Monday, the 19th, to our spring break, which is the 12 through 17. Yep - eleven days!!! I have no real plans, just relaxing.

I have taken this several times, and I am always an ENFJ "The Mentor." Years ago, the staff of the PICU, where I was working at the time, took it, including all RN's and RRT's. It was one of the most interesting work experiences - seeing how co-wo...

Wearing pink today makes me happy! It means it is Hump Day; therefore, I'm halfway through the week!! AND I'm sitting at the cool table. Life is fetch!

I like the idea of a poncho. I may have one at home which may work.

Friday we are having "70's" day for the kick off of a student council sponsored Peace, Love, and Kindness program. This will be interesting.... Our principal will wear a leisure suit. For myself, I found a disco t-shirt and round wire-rim glasses....

Today is a potluck/tailgate party day for the staff - using Superbowl as an excuse to party. We are allowed to wear jeans with our favorite team shirt. I'm wearing a Dallas Cowboy top - lifelong fan!!! So I'm all in blue and stars!!! Am I allowed...

Far - Sending you big hugs and lotsa love.

Now checking Carnival cruises....

It is 81* in North Texas presently. I saw people in shorts and tank tops yesterday while I was Christmas shopping. We don't have snow days; we have ice days. Our temps, when cold, usually hover around freezing; just enough for the cars to melt the...

hi! Excuse me, Uncool Table. I need to join you.

I'm at the uncool "cool" table today. Not one bit of pink today, and that is a color I wear often. I am blue, green, and bright frog print.

Larry Phillips is a representative from Sherman, voted in 2011 as one of the worst representatives in Texas by Texas Monthly magazine, authored this ridiculous bill. I think Texas Monthly should give it to him once more.

I look like Pepto Bismal today.

Praying for you! I'm in the DFW area, and I have been watching the news, saddened about what has happened to my fellow Texans. We are expecting an influx of families from the Houston area. Please let us know, Old Dude, if there is anything you need...
