  1. Really not appreciating the attitude today

    nursex23 replied to nursex23's topic in School

    For some reason, girls looking for pads always come in with a pass with too much information. The one thing that I never require a pass

  2. Really not appreciating the attitude today

    nursex23 replied to nursex23's topic in School

    I've thought about that. My only problem with passes is that many students don't want to go to class and come to my office. Some especially come before gym and try to stay in my office to get out of...

  3. Really not appreciating the attitude today

    nursex23 replied to nursex23's topic in School

    Oh I forgot to mention. A student was brought in this morning by a teacher for a small finger injury. Nothing major at all, small bruise that hurts when he touches it, no swelling, student can move it...

  4. Nurse vs Respiratory

    nursex23 replied to TheSixFootThree's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work at an LTACH and it was a big no no for nurses to do this. Technically, any breathing meds, even albuterol, fell on the RT and more often than not, they would document towards the end of...

  5. Tips for dealing with techs/pct’s as a new grad

    nursex23 replied to Wright007's topic in General Nursing

    While I respect all of the work that aides do (I was a CNA once), you have to remember that your education and license is above theirs, therefore, they cannot look at what you're doing and make the...

  6. Nursing with little to no hands on patient contact? More critical thinking?

    nursex23 replied to Guest716906's topic in General Nursing

    Have you looked into utilization review? I'm also not a big fan of bedside and would not mind UR but I lack the

  7. Asked to Write a Formal Explanation

    nursex23 replied to BSN_Studnt's topic in General Nursing

    So you have a heart condition that you cannot afford medications for that made you tired? If it was just a problem of you didn't get enough sleep and just wanted to rest for a minute but didn't...

  8. New grad need help, afraid I’m failing

    nursex23 replied to LMSNew's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like complete BS. Especially if she actually used the word "all." I think I would have even stopped her and told her that I find it hard to believe that all, meaning every single one of...

  9. I feel like I will never be a nurse. Need some advice/motivation

    nursex23 replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think your future is as bleak as you think it is. You just have to picture yourself in 5 years and what does that look like. If I were in your shoes, I would take a job at a SNF. I know it's...

  10. Reaching my breaking point with middle schoolers

    nursex23 posted a topic in School

    Has anyone else ever had a period in time where they've just kinda had it. I had a student come in, no pass. Nope, go get a pass. She rolled her eyes as she left. She came back with a pass saying she...

  11. Love school nursing, but can't pay my bills.

    nursex23 replied to jupitercrash's topic in School

    I would say definitely go back for your RN and then your BSN. It will open more doors for you. I cannot believe how lucky I was to find a school nurse job that pays only a little less than what I was...

  12. How? Just, HOW?!

    nursex23 replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    But what if she agrees to it!!

  13. Studying For NCLEX

    nursex23 replied to studentnurse_92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would defiantly start now. When I started, I hadn't yet finished peds and I was able to turn off peds questions. If I remember correctly there are over 2000 questions so it's going to take time to...

  14. Studying For NCLEX

    nursex23 replied to studentnurse_92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with the previous poster that said UWorld. I did that and Hurst which I also found very helpful but if your budget only allows 1, I say go with UWorld and you will be fine as long as you read...

  15. Reaching my breaking point with middle schoolers

    nursex23 replied to nursex23's topic in School

    I refrain from giving them any more attention once I've assessed them and realized that they're fine. I tell them they're fine and to go back to class then I go back to whatever I was doing before or...

  16. Reaching my breaking point with middle schoolers

    nursex23 replied to nursex23's topic in School

    Same. I've had teachers storm into my office demanding this, that or the other for students without letting me assess and come to that conclusion. This is the highest paying school nursing jobs I've...

  17. Vent Sesh

    nursex23 replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    I just had a student come in because he ate spicy chips and he felt like "woah" No kidding, a teacher wrote him a pass, not just one of those plastic nurses pass, this one was written out with the...

  18. Help with a head injury

    nursex23 posted a topic in School

    Has anyone had experience with students having a hard time returning to school after head injuries? I have a student with many absences due to a head injury that happened early 2019. Most of these...

  19. Vent Sesh

    nursex23 replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    I know that was annoying to you but that's a funny one. Maybe one day you'll look back and laugh at it. I would have said something like "did you take drugs? Because it sounds like you took drugs and...

  20. Reaching my breaking point with middle schoolers

    nursex23 replied to nursex23's topic in School

    THIS Yes, this is why I have no problem being an ice pack nazi. I will gladly give an ice pack when it's warranted and I will withhold one when it isn't and gladly explain why. I think of this issue...

  22. Help with a head injury

    nursex23 replied to nursex23's topic in School

    Update: I really want to discuss this with the doctor but, I don't know if this is a state thing or district thing, we need a release of information form from mom which I'm not really sure how to...

  23. Help with a head injury

    nursex23 replied to nursex23's topic in School

    Ah! I completely forgot to mention that homebound tutoring is what we are thinking about. However, the social worker wants to do everything we can to get him in school. After a year though, shouldn't...
