  1. 6 Places the Community Needs Nurses

    We can add hospice to that list as well. One of the best things about nursing is the diversity that is available both inside and outside of the hospital setting. This list barely touches the surface of all the possibilities available.
  2. Epi Question (new to school nursing)

    Most districts in Ca have a stock epi pen for those who are not know to have an allergic reaction. Additionally, any student who does have a known allergy requiring epi must have their own pen. This goes with them on field trips while the stock stays...
  3. Anyone Else have to Sub in classrooms??

    I have been a school nurse over a couple of schools. Now I work with school & district nurses in several districts. Never have I seen a nurse pulled to substitute as a teacher. This is a first. I am glad everything has worked out.
  4. Lice checks

    On the other side of that, when parents find out that a child was found to have lice and was not sent home, then they complain "Why was he/she not sent home?" Perhaps some of these schools don't want to have the majority complaining that the school...
  5. Being out of ratio. Is it legal in California?

    We used to sign an "Assignment Despite Objection" form to protect us in case an incident occurred while working with more patients than we should be assigned since there was not that additional help available.
  6. What nursing specialty has the best work life balance?

    When I first started nursing, I worked 4 eight hour shifts/week, nocs. This worked well for our family for awhile. Then I chose to go to PMs, which did not work so well so went back to nocs. Eventually went to the 3 12's which was great for a time. M...
  7. funny charting errors

    I was reading my students' documentation during post-conference (a really bad idea!!!). One student wrote "pt ambulating on w/c." I had to leave the room and decided not to read anymore student writing in front of them.
  8. Jobs with shorter shifts?

    Homecare and Hospice are options. Many of them offer flexible scheduling. There may also be some school nursing jobs that may have some shorter hours.
  9. Student Nurse Advised to Slow Down

    If getting to know the variety of specialties available is what you would like to do, especially for future teaching possibilities, float nursing was something that I found enjoyable after my first year in MS. I learned the variety of different nursi...
  10. Annoyed by commercial

    I remember an incident in acute care where we only had the charge nurse and myself with one nursing assistant for 25 patients. It was not long after this that the safe staffing bill was starting to be implemented. What a relief that was for everyone....
  11. RN hospice attire

    I used to dress in business casual with a lab coat.
  12. Decision Fatigue-the Struggle is Real

    Something as simple as picking out what you will wear the next day can be very useful as well (provided you stick with that choice). This can help the day start out with a little less stress and possibly get you out the door a bit faster. This is so...
