  1. New Occupational Health Nurse! No experience

    ihavealltheice replied to Mel.G.12's topic in General Nursing

    I think they have put you in a very bad position. I'm a school nurse and can semi-relate to your predicament. I started my school health program in my current position, BUT, I had school nurse...

  2. Exciting possibility...

    ihavealltheice replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    @KeeperOfTheIceRN at least your SI's heart was

  3. Happy Thanksgiving

    ihavealltheice replied to Glitternurse's topic in School

    We're in session Monday and Tuesday. Boo. Have a great Thanksgiving!!! I'm so thankful to you all and for our little "nurses station" that provides the advice and laughs

  4. Torn between jobs

    ihavealltheice replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    Looking at the bigger picture, I really think that taking the lower paying full time residency position would get your farther in the long run. You don't get benefits in a prn position (and that's why...

  5. Gossiping Nurses

    ihavealltheice replied to Beau Wolf's topic in General Nursing

    I work with a lot of people on who are on edge all day long. As a result, people aren't gossipy, but simply unsupportive and rude to your face. I figure I'm stuck where I'm at for the next 6 months at...

  6. Really?!

    ihavealltheice replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    YES!!!

  7. Considering ICU.... among several other options

    ihavealltheice replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    I totally understand the book smart vs street smart. I graduated with straight A's, but struggled my first few years out of school. It took me a while to realize that textbook and tests are not the...

  8. Flu is CRAZY

    ihavealltheice replied to NurseHeatherBSNRN's topic in School

    I'm afraid to respond because I'll jinx

  9. Basketball Season

    ihavealltheice replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    @MrNurse(x2) TRUTH!

  10. Basketball Season

    ihavealltheice replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    Student comes in from PE yesterday: I think I sprained my finger, the basketball hit it and now look how bruised it is! Me: that's black ink Student *washes finger and removes ink * oh I still gave...

  11. Exciting possibility...

    ihavealltheice replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I don't think they can work as a student nurse without their instructor present (I remember this issue coming up when I was in nursing school). But, if they already have a CNA or are simply hired as...

  12. Quit my CNA Job ???!

    ihavealltheice replied to Togglina Tugi's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any advice, but wanted to tell you that the best nurses, NPs, PAs, and doctors that I have worked with all started as CNAs. They truly understand what it's like to be in the trenches....

  13. School nurse questions.

    ihavealltheice replied to littleduckrn5's topic in School

    I don't know why it won't let me quote anyone... Anyway, much like in the hospital, when you as the professional RN delegate something to a CNA, you are still ultimately responsible for it. Still...

  14. School nurse questions.

    ihavealltheice replied to littleduckrn5's topic in School

    I agree with @NutmeggeRN. Schools put us nurses in difficult situations where we delegate to unlicensed personnel and I think this is one of those difficult situations. I am a full time nurse that...

  15. Screenings

    ihavealltheice replied to Kerber's topic in School

    I find that in the middle school setting especially, the moment I send out an email saying please don't sent students, they'll send more than if I just didn't send it out at all. Not purposefully, not...

  16. How to help coughing student?

    ihavealltheice replied to sydcarverrn's topic in School

    Lots of warm water and have them blow their nose. That tickle is an awful

  17. School nurse roll in IEP + 504

    ihavealltheice replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in School

    Think of an IEP as in special education, they have low test scores and they're struggling, so what are we MODIFYING/CHANGING in the educational setting (testing and learning accommodations)...

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

    ihavealltheice replied to RNTadaaaa's topic in School

    I don't work in the same district as my kids' school, but we're in the same conference. This past fall, we were facing each other at a cross country meet. One of my 8th grade students told my daughter...

  19. Incident Reports

    ihavealltheice replied to DaisyRN2's topic in School

    And just remember, if you regularly document well, you can always go back later and fill one out if you need to. For instance, I think of a time that a kid fell, they seemed totally fine, called home,...

  20. Incident Reports

    ihavealltheice replied to DaisyRN2's topic in School

    I fill them out for anything serious that they might seek emergency medical attention for. Honestly, I don't fill them out for altercations unless there was a major

  21. Do you ever miss bedside?

    ihavealltheice replied to JLA's topic in School

    I switched to school nursing from a hospital based outpatient oncology position when my youngest went to kindergarten. I think it's all a matter of opinion and also it matters where you work and what...

  22. Would you break a contract and switch mid-year?

    ihavealltheice replied to guest464345's topic in School

    First off, your situation stinks and I am sorry that you are going through it. Maybe I am jaded, but I just feel like if you continue to report/make an issue of what you are experiencing, you will...

  23. Panic Attacks

    ihavealltheice replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    If you determine that it is a panic attack and nothing medical, you should get your social worker involved. They're better equipped with the knowledge to help with the mental aspect. They shouldn't be...

  24. Do you keep clinic door open?

    ihavealltheice replied to SmileNNod's topic in School

    I have an extremely small office and only have one door that leads into the main office. I'll close my door if it's a private matter, but otherwise, it stays open. Everybody can hear everybody else's...

  25. What is your late pick up policy?

    ihavealltheice replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    We would call the police department and get them involved. Suddenly the "unreachable" parent becomes "reachable." It's like
