1. The tricks we use

   Cas1in72 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

   My school secretary told me to try that, and it works. Leaving a detailed message for something I need them to do is the surest way to NOT get a call back. Shocking!

2. That was a first

   Cas1in72 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

   Great job!!! School Nurses are ESSENTIAL! I remember the first time I gave Epi, my heart was beating so fast you would have thought I had a dose. It is amazing to see how fast it works.

3. Happy Nurse's week.... I guess

   To all of my fellow school nurses that have not gotten the recognition or thanks from your administration or leadership this year, I want to say I am sorry, but want to also say that I appreciate you, I see you and all of your hard work, and know the...

   Cas1in72 replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

   Thank you for writing this out. So many times, when I speak to my friends that are still at the bedside, they think I sit around and pass out band aids all day. You described so well, just a tip of what we do. I wish more people understood!

   After 6 years in school nursing, I put in my resignation letter, I won't be returning. In fact, leaving nursing and going back to college full time to pursue my graduate degree in history.

6. Medication Error in School

   Cas1in72 replied to uofanurse's topic in School

   Cas1in72 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

   I am so sorry! I really can not imagine the lasting impact Covid is going to have on those of us in healthcare. I put in my notice on Friday. I am heartbroken, but at the same time, I feel like I can breathe. I am going back to school to finish my...

8. C'Mon Now!

   Cas1in72 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

   In 26 years of nursing I have never been told off, cussed at, disrespected more than this year. We just came back from Spring Break ( have been in school since Aug) I cried in my car before I walked in. Pretty sure this will be my last year of nur...

10. Athletics = Madness

    Cas1in72 replied to guest464345's topic in School

    I have had to distance myself from any social media, and can not watch the Zoom school board meetings anymore. Seeing the pictures of our school sports teams, the crowds etc, makes me physically ill. Then seeing my staff going on about life as if ...
