  1. School nursing and benefits

    ihavealltheice replied to 2BS Nurse's topic in School

    In my state, it's all district by district. If you took a random survey of districts within a 15 mile radius of my district, there is a major difference in benefits, pay, time off, etc. So, it's best...

  2. Wearing hoods inside your building.

    ihavealltheice replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Hoods are not allowed. We did have 1 temporary exception for a kid for psychological purposes a few years back. Our NJHS does a a fundraiser a few times a year where if you donate a dollar, you can...

  3. Failed class, still continued, not fair

    ihavealltheice replied to Anon143's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. tick tock....1 more sleep

    ihavealltheice replied to Bulldogs's topic in School

    I had a teacher call me (super annoyed) because a student fell and claimed that they couldn't get up because they hurt their knee and needed to see me. I walked in, told him to get up because I'm not...

  5. Failed class, still continued, not fair

    ihavealltheice replied to Anon143's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Based on this post, I'm assuming you're a nursing student straight from high school, maybe early 20s? The longer you go through life, you'll realize that the less you focus on others, what they...

  8. Would you be OK with this?

    ihavealltheice replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    Happy update. I relayed my concerns and things will be changed. Private duty nurse will be in and the IEP verbiage will be changed on both. They had already been working on that, but didn't tell me....

  9. Would you be OK with this?

    ihavealltheice replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

  12. schedule change

    ihavealltheice posted a topic in School

    When I was initially hired for my position 4 years ago, my schedule allowed me to leave with enough time to pick my kids up from school. The next year, they changed my schedule so that it barely...

  13. schedule change

    ihavealltheice replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    Wow, that's awful! How do schools think they can get away with that? They need to be finding a sub for you guys, not the other way around. My admin is aware of my situation. I told them I wouldn't be...

  14. schedule change

    ihavealltheice replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    We had one issue with a student earlier this year who had already been dismissed for the day and someone other than me had to figure things out. They complained, threw the principal for a loop, who...

  18. Leaving before 1 year? Don't know what to do..

    ihavealltheice replied to Birdsofprey's topic in General Nursing

    I left my position on a telemetry unit at the 8 month mark. I was driving over an hour, working a shift that I didn't like, and was stressed. I also wanted a job in ICU. So, I took a transfer to...

    ihavealltheice replied to lanurse93's topic in Oncology

    I'm not in outpt oncology anymore, but I was for 10 years prior to switching to school nursing. Neither scenario is safe nor best practice for either you or the patient. I'm sorry that you're...

  21. New job and asking for time off

    ihavealltheice replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for this! I have always been told not to say or ask anything that would lead a workplace not to hire me. BUT, when you're on an interview, they're not just the ones interviewing you. I'd...

    ihavealltheice replied to nycNurse2b's topic in School

    I have a very small office (10x10), so it's already crowded with my supplies and cabinets. Honestly, it's pretty blah, but I don't know what else to do to make it look less blah without making it look...

    ihavealltheice replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    Wow! Thank you for sharing your story. Great heads up on your part! Think of the schools that don't have nurses, this terrifies me because obviously the parent nor the teacher didn't put it
