Nursesusu

I got sick end of Feb and was hospitalized mid March, just as schools shut down. Never been so sick, for so long. Bilat pneumonia. Covid 19 and flu neg. Hmmm. Quarantined 8 days awaiting results which were neg. I was very surprised. Took me 2 weeks to recover after discharged. Severe sob and hacking cough. Anyways, had antibody test last week. Neg. Well now. Do I have confidence in either test? Not 100% if I'm being honest.

I'm old enough to remember the polio epidemic and what happened when the first vaccine was administered. I have to pass on a vaccine until it is proven to be safe.

Locked up by masks this week for the first time ever. What has happened to common sense??

So agree. We really don't think like teachers/admin, and they don't think like us. This thought will keep me up till 2 am for sure....

I came to school nursing from bedside oncology nursing. The pay cut was significant but the trade off makes up for it. I have decent hours, I adore the littlins that I care for, I have my evenings and weekends free, and a get a bonus 6 weeks off in the Summer. I am paid a year round salary so it's doable. Could I make double the money in the hospital picking up extra shifts, etc.? Sure. But I'd be doing 12 hr shifts also. This nurse is getting up in years, so not for me..

This. This made me cry...

Nope nope nope. I'm only masking students who have fever AND respiratory symptoms AND are waiting to be picked up.

I have been watching this site for days now. Every time I refresh the page, it jumps up. Very interesting...

This docuseries will haunt me for a long time. Everyone failed him. Everyone.

Just about everything that could go wrong in that situation, did. The step dad deserved the death penalty. Mom did too but when she saw him get sentenced, she copped a plea deal fast.

Great idea!

I have a nurse doll in my office. I think these would look wonderful on her. Doubt if anyone would get the humor but I would find it most amusing.

I have no problem keeping sick kids until parents can pick them up, within reason. It's the parents who can never be reached or say they're on their way, and show up 4 hours later (at dismissal time) that cause the most frustration!

Genius! Have to steal this for future use....

I looooove this. I occasionally have someone bring me a critter in a Ziploc bag. Aaaannnnndddd?
