    Rules for next year

    BrisketRN replied to guest464345's topic in School

    The middle school boys here can be the worst malingerers. They'll try to go around the room and ask everyone why they're in the office, or they'll try to be my assistant and shout out diagnoses and...

    Secretly breaking contract

    BrisketRN replied to lorias's topic in General Students

    Tattling and being honest are different. You will be put in a bad light if you run to management to let them know about something that has zero effect on you. If she was harming a patient, stealing...

    Nurse Accused of Taking Naked Photos of Nursing Home Patients

    BrisketRN replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Disgusting abuse of power over very vulnerable people. This isn't just someone being dumb and unprofessional, snapping photos of their favorite residents (clothed, maybe smiling or posing). This is...

    BrisketRN replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    I had one kid ask for ice "to eat," and I told him 1. this is not a convenience store and 2. the ice is tainted with disinfectant and not made for eating. His face told me he's eaten it before. I've...

    Exclude for vomiting

    BrisketRN replied to Margaret K. Stephen's topic in School

    It really depends on the reason for vomiting. Some high schoolers vomit because they took a medication on an empty stomach, got car sick, or saw someone else vomit. If there isn't a clear...

    BrisketRN replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    I've never been in this situation, but I would get a full set of vitals, do a neuro assessment, talk with the student, keep those records and consult the school counselor/social worker if you have...

    When to change name (marriage)?

    BrisketRN replied to hannahannah's topic in General Students

    I hyphenated my last name when I got married. Took a phone call and a fax to change my license in IL. Less than 3 days. Told HR and they changed it for payroll. My old name is still right there,...

    Snacks?

    BrisketRN replied to Imnotasnacklady's topic in School

    I don't give out snacks. If they're lucky I'll give them some oyster crackers or share out of my box of Nilla Wafers when they've skipped breakfast. We have morning snack and lunch built into...
