    Herd immunity

    CampyCamp replied to CampyCamp's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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...

    RNs Being "Leased" Due to COVID shortage

    CampyCamp replied to Ohia lehua's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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

    Crisis travel assignments for Covid-19?

    CampyCamp replied to JDougRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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...

    Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    CampyCamp replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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?...

    Public Making Masks

    CampyCamp replied to LovingLife123's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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...

    Coronavirus-Are we ready to talk about rationing care?

    CampyCamp replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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...

    Acute COVID, What We're Seeing

    CampyCamp replied to MunoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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...

    "The Nurse doesn't really DO anything" -Middle school students

    CampyCamp replied to RNTadaaaa's topic in School

    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...

    Eyelash Lice

    CampyCamp replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    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...

    Sub Nurses

    CampyCamp replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    Who gets the backpack

    CampyCamp replied to Schoolnurselpn's topic in School

    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...

    Medical schools now adding "fluff"

    CampyCamp replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    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....

    School nurses, what is the worst emergency you've had?

    CampyCamp replied to Avill's topic in School

    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...

    Slippery Portable Steps = Guarenteed Injury. Any Known Solutions?

    CampyCamp replied to BooBooCrew's topic in School

    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...

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

    Which specialties of nursing have more autonomy and less micromanagement?

    CampyCamp replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in General Specialties

    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...

    Why so long

    CampyCamp replied to NurseHeatherBSNRN's topic in School

    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...

    Certified Peds Nurse Exam-Studying

    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...

    How long was your training for school nursing?
