    This! (I do the same thing)
  2. Sick of nurses "referring" to our specialty

    I personally like the "flying by the seat of my pants" that I have to do daily. I came to school nursing 5 years ago from bedside oncology care and prior to that, ltc. For the first week, I was terrified, even as an experienced nurse. I was solely...

  6. Influenza

    I have 400 k-4. I average sending home a couple of kids per week. Last week, I sent home over 20 (8 in one day). I know most of those won't go to the dr. But some kept sending them back after a couple of days and I kept sending them back home, ca...

    I tell my teachers, if it's an injury from the waist down, then call for a possible wheelchair. If it's waist up, walk them to me....
  15. When parents are barriers to care

    I've had many parents like this, every. single. year. I just document the heck out of it, all the letters sent, phone calls made, results thus far, and if they finally stop responding, I give them a few weeks, then file all my notes in their chart a...
