    Why is it a struggle right before summer break?

    BrisketRN replied to cowboysandangels's topic in School

    For me the end of the year is a bizarre period. We have a lot of kids out for field trips/done with finals/volunteer events. The teachers are a little done with teaching so the little kids are...

    BrisketRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    As a school nurse I can say that only about half of my 11 year olds can swallow pills. I don't mind having to give larger amounts of liquid medication. I do mind when they don't tell me they can't...

    BrisketRN replied to dream'n's topic in General Nursing

    Avon Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing & Repair hand cream. I've used it for years and it's the best thick cream that doesn't leave a weird residue. As a nurse I'm sure you know someone selling...

    Berated by parent

    BrisketRN replied to RNTadaaaa's topic in School

    Or what happens when a pill gets innocently dropped and a kindergartner picks it up and thinks it's a tic tac? Is the school ready for that? What if the student innocently gives one to his friend...

    ARE MOST RN SCHOOLS LIKE THIS??

    BrisketRN replied to Anon143's topic in School, College Programs

    I think my program was 75%. If they offer free tutoring then do it before you fail a test. Free tutoring was the only thing that got me through some of my tougher nursing classes (pathophysiology...

    Women's Right to Choose

    BrisketRN replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Roe v Wade came into place because botched abortions became a public health crisis. Regardless of my personal beliefs, I can see that denying access to abortions wouldn't stop abortions. It will...

    What do teachers think about school nurses?

    BrisketRN replied to nurselife13's topic in School

    I'd say we're split in thirds with the teachers at my school. One third (mostly the primary teachers) know how busy I am mostly because they often accompany a student into my office, trust my...

    BrisketRN replied to SDANG's topic in General Nursing

    NSO Insurance. I'm a school nurse. I like to cover my behind. Also to note, there is a theory that goes around that having liability insurance makes you more likely to be sued. This is false....
