Well, the listeners of these shows are posting their superior knowledge on facebook. Prepare to see more ignorant opinions than you can handle without a cocktail!

Oh, absolutely. (I'm sorry, I don't know what show I heard. I was taking care of my mom and my dad had the radio on. I also don't want to make this more of a political party debate than it needs to be based on his type of show) So their theory, and t...

Do you know how to expect to be utilized? Hopefully as a runner or "hands". Like an aide who can also hang a new IV bag or refill the tube feeds.

Why not stay where you are? I'm only perdiem at my hospital job and I care for my mother. When this gets worse in my area, they'll ned me full time and I'll be depending on hospice staff to allow me to do that. I worry if they all jump ship to either...

I feel like emotions are too high for a good conversation with him about this. Maybe not. Ultimately though, the info you need from him is- what would he do if you were married or living together? Would he not let you come home? Social distancing is ...

This was my thought as well. If thins become so dire that I need to make my own (or comission someone) I'd use a layer of hepa between layers of fabric but not just fabric! It wouldn't have the same filtration factor or the best fit but should minimi...

True, but if one of them starts caring for my nearly bed bound 85 lb mother with Alzheimer's, I'll return to ICU knowing that she and my dad are fine. I fear for nurses struggling with lack of ppe already. I fear for my family when I do get called g...

Thanks for this info. I was a MICU nurse for years then stepped back to peds (my preferred age group) I'm prn in the hospital now and would go to ICU if they can use me. I'm trying to brush up on this and the basics.

Older kids start wanting a diagnosis and a cure for whatever is going on to them in this moment. They get frustrated is all we can do is offer ice and band aids or the occasional tylenol. They want a full pharmacy, xray, and lab. Anything less is "no...

People get them in natural lashes, eyebrows, facial hair. Since the dawn of time. Wannna know the even grosser part? They aren't the head lice species. But you know that or our badly affected kids would have them. Nope they are the pubic lice species...

maybe put one of each rarely/less common used form or incident plan (even just a list of "call Nurse Xyz, CSN in Main St School if: . . .) in the binder because if something unusual is going to happen it's going to happen to a sub. I'm talking animal...

Is the HS or MS with actually locked lockers? That does change things a bit. I've never sent a HS student home who couldn't get their own stuff. (To the hospital, yes, but not home) If I did, the secretary would get it. A child too sick to get their ...

That's better than BS like Jean Watson theories any day. At least it's usable. Nursing school teaches "cultural competency" in a manner that is just thinly veiled stereotypes and inherent biases. Hopefully, they are teaching this in a way that will m...

Those high school fights always shake me when I think of what can happen. I think my biggest (in terms of impact, but not immediate "drama") was a primary schooler who had a CVA. I was NOT expecting that and was thinking maybe migraine. He had a pre...

I just hope they belong to the school and you aren't caught in some limbo of the school and company that owns the buildings arguing it out. After 10 years, I guess they aren't leased buildings. That's insane that they have been there that long.

We do option A for pumpers, option B for pen users. That's the way the local peds endo group endorses. Yours may vary.

I feel more micromanaged in school than any other job I've worked, except maybe OR. There's no autonomy here. The lead nurse micromanages us, right or wrong, the principals micromanage us, the teachers try to micromanage us. I really can't stand to b...

I expect that it can take a while because our district is spread out and some of our kids are on the bus for an hour. Our immediate area has few employment opportunities so parents leaving work almost always have an hour drive. (I did too, when I wor...

All the descriptions are the same- a bit vague about content and format but promising. http://spn.mycrowdwisdom.com/diweb/catalog/item/id/2013935/sid/39977333/q/n=1&c=389 I had a lightbulb moment yesterday and went on ebay. I got the Nursebu...

I looked up the Nursebuilders course. I almost bought the package without review questions! Ooops. But I was wondering if anyone knows how it compares to the SPN course? It's cheaper than SPN even with the member discount.

Good Lort. Hopefully there will be no baby for a Very Long Time.

I could handle it if the environment was pleasant but the salary is just the start of the disrespect.

The secretary of the building I went to my first day showed me where to find keys and standing orders/policies and verbalized a few that she knew and impacted her job like sending kids home and excluding kids. Then, an hour or so later, a CSN came an...

In public school, it's absolutely non-negotiable and then it's posted in the school board minutes for everyone to see and scrutinize for transparency.

Nope. I've got kids with years on chronic lice despite our nit free policy and never once seen it in a classmate despite some classes getting weekly screening checks.
