  1. Contracts for Next SY

    ihavealltheice replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    That is my exact reaction as well. I'm sorry that your district doesn't value you as much as they

  2. Free CEUs?

    ihavealltheice replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    Wow! Thanks everyone! I'll look into all of

  3. Free CEUs?

    ihavealltheice posted a topic in School

    We're still 100% virtual, so I'm using this extra time to earn my required CEUs. Anyone know of any free CEUs? I'm working through NASN's offerings and completed a free certificate from Danatech...

  4. LPNs and IEPs

    ihavealltheice replied to jakrob123's topic in School

    IL has a lot of rules with regards to who can and who cannot contribute to the IEP. An LPN would not be able to contribute to an IEP in Illinois. Your coworker is correct, you have to either have...

  5. SECOND nurses office?!

    ihavealltheice replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    Thank you everybody for your input! We appreciate it! And having one "seeing student" office and one "administration" office I think is our vision. While I was technically hired to only focus on IEPs,...

  6. Vision Machines

    ihavealltheice replied to Keeperofbandages's topic in School

    Does it work? If so, why change? Especially if they want a used but newer one. I have an ancient one too, but it works

  7. Job loss

    ihavealltheice replied to Schoolnurselpn's topic in School

    My health aid has verbalized these concerns to me. Her job is entirely dependent on students being

  8. Is anyone essential?

    ihavealltheice replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    Us too. We have been told not to come unless you absolutely need to and then to get in and get out as fast as possible. I have to log everything that I have to do to justify my pay though, otherwise I...

  9. Vaccinations are ALREADY a problem with some...

    ihavealltheice replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    I was wondering the same

  10. ED nurse to School Nurse

    ihavealltheice replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in School

    Once I became certified, I was placed on the teacher's retirement. Prior to that, I was on the retirement plan for state municipal workers. I do have a health aid that I'm in charge of in another...

  11. ED nurse to School Nurse

    ihavealltheice replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in School

    I took a significant pay cut as well, but to have almost the same schedule as my kids is 100% worth it. But how significant is dependent on your school district. There is a lot of compliance...

  12. Why do so many cheerleaders enter nursing?

    ihavealltheice replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    Me too! Most of the time, I prefer to be

  13. New Grad to ICU

    ihavealltheice replied to SD25's topic in General Nursing

    I left my telemetry position after a year for ICU, received a 4 week orientation, which turned into 6, then 8. I failed miserably and ended up leaving after 4 months. I think half of it was my...

  14. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    ihavealltheice replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    No, that would be even more mortifying thinking of them thinking of your nipples!! Haha!! Maybe something simple like a heart or picture of a baby. I feel like that might go over a teenager's head....

  15. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    ihavealltheice replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    @jnemartin, I guess you should make a new sign for your door stating "pumping in here, my boobs are freely hanging out and about" maybe even toss in a pic to make it slightly more obvious for people...

  16. Nightmare Principals Man...

    ihavealltheice replied to SnowDark38's topic in School

    WOW!. Just WOW!. What a jerk. I'm sorry that you had to experience that and have a principal that obviously doesn't see your

  17. School Aide Jailed For Stealing And Replacing Students' Medication

    ihavealltheice replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in School

    I manage 2 schools and I trust my health aid, but hearing stuff like this makes me nervous. The way that we work it in my district is that I am housed in 1 school while my health aid takes care of the...

  18. Port-A-Cath

    ihavealltheice replied to KaraB's topic in General Nursing

    That's good info to know. Does she keep it accessed all 3 days? The area might be getting irritated if it is in 3 days in a row or conversely, maybe if she's poked 3 days in a row, that may be the...

  19. Calling all nurses, do not get scammed by this phone call.

    ihavealltheice replied to Julie's topic in General Nursing

    Every once in a while, I get in a mood to just mess with them. I kept "Apple support" on the phone for 15 minutes the last time. Even after that 15 minute conversation, they couldn't tell me what type...

  20. Therapeutic apheresis nursing position at Freseniu

    ihavealltheice replied to Skyamazing's topic in General Specialties

    I worked outpatient infusion at the hospital for quite a while. Our hospital would contract apheresis nurses at Fersenius. It seemed very interesting, no cases were ever the same. Everything is 1:1...

  21. Credentials

    ihavealltheice replied to littleduckrn5's topic in School

    Crazy how much each state

  22. Face masks

    ihavealltheice replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    Hoard them for yourself when the apocalypse comes!!

  23. Port-A-Cath

    ihavealltheice replied to KaraB's topic in General Nursing

    Twice I saw infections rear their ugly head ONLY when being flushed and infused. Now, that was an infected line, so the patient would spike a temp/get chills/complain of discomfort when flushed...

  24. Port-A-Cath

    ihavealltheice replied to KaraB's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes! Yes, I would definitely try changing out the needle to a 20 gauge...I always used a 20. I don't think it's because the vein is sore, I've never heard of that with a central line. The veins...

  25. Port-A-Cath

    ihavealltheice replied to KaraB's topic in General Nursing

    Have they experienced it the whole time they have had the port or is this a new complaint? Sometimes if I flushed it too fast, pts would have this complaint. Can you slow down the infusion and see if...
