  1. Credentials

    ihavealltheice replied to littleduckrn5's topic in School

    I got a $12K raise once I received my CSN! To work in essentially the same capacity that I already was, work less hours in a day (7.25 vs 8 ) AND make more money...it was definitely a no brainier for...

  2. Face masks

    ihavealltheice replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    Did you tell him that standard surgical masks do nothing anyway and that only the N95 respirator masks work to prevent the spread and even if you had them, every person would still need to be fit...

  3. Lord- Coronavirus drama

    ihavealltheice replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Oh good gravy ?‍♀️ I am sorry for

  4. 3rd Party Lice Reports

    ihavealltheice replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    I will only check if a teacher who has the student reports it to me. Not the gaggle of dramatic girls, parents, or just the random teacher who "thinks" they saw "something" in a student's

  5. Credentials

    ihavealltheice replied to littleduckrn5's topic in School

    We don't have "licensed school nurses" in our state. We have certified school nurses (to the tune of a $10,000 certification program), which I would assume would be comparable to a LSN. I feel that...

  6. Coronavirus and Schools

    ihavealltheice replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ Would this help? This was shared with me a few days ago. I'm not sure who is running it and adding the data, but it may at least get you some

  7. Coronavirus and Schools

    ihavealltheice replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    This! I was watching the news the other day and one story completely contraindicated the next. Not that I haven't been keeping an eye on it, but drama sells and boy are (inappropriate) masks and...

  8. 50 school days left until Summer

  9. How? Just, HOW?!

    ihavealltheice posted a topic in School

    I had a first today! The first time a student accidentally stapled their fingers together...like FULL ON staple completely embedded into the pads of their fingers stapled their fingers together. How...

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

    ihavealltheice replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    O.M.G! I'm speechless. How MORTIFYING. No apologies would make this better.

  11. my office is NOT a nap room!

    ihavealltheice posted a topic in School

    Teacher sends student down because they didn't get enough sleep last night and they're falling asleep in class...."to take a nap or something." NO!! My tiny office is not equipped for teenager nap...

  12. Parent harassing me in clinic

    ihavealltheice replied to KiddoRN73's topic in School

    No one should be allowing her to come by you whether or not she looks like she will apologize. At this point, it's either a ban from campus or a police report/order of protection. Admin should work...

  13. Supply Question

    ihavealltheice replied to Keeperofbandages's topic in School

    I second this. Also, as far as storage is concerned, is there some sort of storage closet outside of your office that you could use? Maybe someone else has room in a closet in their office? I'm in the...

  14. EpiPen Storage

    ihavealltheice replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    Oooh, OK, got it. Sorry, I misunderstood! They probably wouldn't suite your needs. I would get a shoe organizer. It works great. I was using that for a while until I had admin come in and tell me that...

  15. EpiPen Storage

    ihavealltheice replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I'm assuming that you get your epipens free from epipens4schools? They have bright yellow epi lockers that you can order for free. I ordered 2 for each of my schools, one is kept in the office and the...

  16. Why did you choose Nursing?

    ihavealltheice replied to Bones17's topic in General Specialties

    Yes! Several times I have considered getting out of nursing (especially in the last 2 years), but it is the flexibility for my family that keeps me

  17. What's your record...

    ihavealltheice posted a topic in School

    for being stuck on the phone with a parent? Now, I don't mean consulting or discussing pertinent medical issues, etc. I mean, you're stuck because they're a talker and they're really talking about...

  18. Disrespect & Profanity

    ihavealltheice replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    That's it! I'm moving to

  19. Why did you choose Nursing?

    ihavealltheice replied to Bones17's topic in General Specialties

    I think they mean it more in the sense of if you get tired of 1 specialty, you can try something completely new. Or, if a hospital shift rotation doesn't work in your life, there are other specialties...

  20. Keep asking full time staff to do overtime

    ihavealltheice replied to MTRNlove's topic in General Specialties

    Welcome to nursing. Say no, you have plans or tell them that you have other obligations outside of work so it makes it very difficult to pick up extra shifts. And like others said above, if they call,...

  21. Why did you choose Nursing?

    ihavealltheice replied to Bones17's topic in General Specialties

    100% honest answer? My mom and grandma worked in a hospital and I thought it was kinda cool. Nursing just really seemed like the only option when I was in high school because I didn't feel like going...

  22. "Hypothetical" Situation

    ihavealltheice replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    This! Once you get to the hospital, ALL people wearing scrubs are considered nurses. I remember getting dinged so many times on surveys by the "nurse who brought me my lunch" or the "nurse who cleaned...

  23. OTC meds for Staff

    ihavealltheice replied to cid1's topic in School

    Hmmm...this makes me think. I do stock for staff and hadn't even thought twice about it. We don't have any rules against it persae, but now that I think about it, admin probably wouldn't be thrilled...

  24. Time tracking spreadsheet/comp time

    ihavealltheice replied to CurlyRN's topic in School

    Honestly, I would just created a google sheet or excel spreadsheet. But, I wanna know how you landed a 0.8 job? I need something like

  25. Do you ever meet with parent lawyer?

    ihavealltheice replied to seedanurse's topic in School

    100% I'd want a district lawyer with me. You need to take that higher than your principal if they don't feel it's
