    Hostile work environment

    I think some nurses need to grow up. Bullying by nurses is so High School. It should be over by now. Any person able to graduate college with a nursing degree of any level, or even with an LPN, should have left those immature behaviours behind long ...

    Gloves at all times?

    Sounds like you need to,do some more teaching/in services on cleanliness. Would be fun and informative if you could take swabs of surfaces and have the lab grow it and see what comes out of it.

    C'Mon Now!

    Good grief, you school nurses have to deal with alot of fakes and manipulation. And I think alot of whatbtoure dealing with is because the parents didn't want to deal with it, so they dump it on you. I don't remember there ever being a school nurse ...

    Providing Care to Staff

    The job I used to work at, people would come in to The medical dept all the time for a B/P check. And it didn't matter what you were doing they expected you to drop it and check their b\p. We had heavy med passes to get prepared and it wasnt always ...

    Help me choose a shift please! Time sensitive..

    Well for sure don't choose evenings. If your kids are in,school Wow. IMO, day shift would be best for you if you can get it. If your babies have to go to daycare or stay with a Grammy, that would help them later to adjust to school routines. On days...

    How? Just, HOW?!

    Silly kids. They will do anything to create drama, for attention, and to avoid studying in class like they are supposed to be doing, and also to get out of class. It's all a drama act. I think they should be disciplined by the principal for such sil...

    Gender Equality is a MYTH in Nursing in India.

    They are mostly Muslim, and I'm,sure there are alot of barriers to men nurses taking care of female patients. I think female patients husbands would be protesting a male nurse taking care of their wife.,

    Blood Disorder and Severe Bruising

    I remember when I was in high school a friend of mine frequently came to,school with big bruises all over her legs. Her daddy used to beat her. She was wild though. Wasn't much she wouldn't do. And if he found out about it, the belt came off.

    Gloves at all times?

    I never heard of such a thing. Wearing gloves to pass meds? Does that Miss Snotty Nurse change gloves between each patient and room? Seems like that would really slow down the med pass. I thought gloves were needed if you were going to be in contact ...
  23. A person could also check out their state inspection results. I think the documents are supposed to be displayed publically.

    I am totally pro life. And my philosophy is if you don't want a baby, don't get pregnant.
