   I have held a US license for 30 years. But, when I moved from Florida to Delaware a few years ago I had to go back to CGFNS for them to send my transcript. I even had a compact license and Delaware is also a compact state. It is a really quick proc...

2. Evacuation of School Building

   Ice keeper replied to GetBackToClassRN's topic in School

   I don't take anything. During our active shooter training we are told not to take anything and have nothing in our hands - told to drop our walkies and only take phone if it is in a pocket. In an actual emergency evacuation - fire/gas leak sce...

   Can anyone recommend a counter top ice maker? I have fought the one I inherited for two years and today it gave up. It has been making noise since I got here this morning, but not a cube in sight. Time for a new one...

8. Providing Care to Staff

   Ice keeper replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

   My first supervisor insisted her nurses informed all staff "I will only check your BP etc if you guarantee that you will do what I advise" before they did anything for a staff member. She told us if they didn't agree, to send those grown adults on ...

9. CGFNS: CES Professional Re-evaluation

   Ice keeper replied to Chesk1010's topic in Registration

   I just got my license by endorsement in Delaware. I couldn't believe they wanted a report from CGFNS 30 years after I was first licensed in the US. All they wanted was the letter of certification. I ordered it from the CGFNS website for $100. CGF...

    I have a standard lecture that doesn't go over well. It ends with "If your doctor wants you to ice that 3 week old injury every 10 minutes, I need that in writing from said doctor as that is a treatment plan". I explain that I offer First Aid and a...

14. Need to vent and process this

    Ice keeper replied to jess11RN's topic in School

    I thought this only happened to me. I have used my stock Epi a lot - all first time allergies in High School students. Every time the paramedics try to tell the parents that I "cured" the allergy and they should just follow up with an allergist some...

15. Relocation and Compact License Question

    Ice keeper replied to Ice keeper's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. That is what I thought. But, I haven't moved for a long, long time and Florida has only just becomes a Compact State. Also, no state's board of nursing website is exactly user friendly for this kind of information. I have just finished...
