  1. Shift Work

    Mary--Its pretty facility specific. Also, day shifts are usually difficult to get when you first start working-usually those shifts go to others within the unit that have been waiting, opening up...
  2. Drug seeking- something to ponder

    I'm a nurse with psoriatic arthritis and young children. I've been diagnosed for over a decade now and have been able to maintain on my daily tramadol (which when I began taking it wasnt an opiate...
  3. Grants for nursing equipment?

    I work for three small (125-205) K-12 schools. Does anyone know of a grant or where I should look to buy some larger pieces of equipment? I'd love to have an audiometer at all the schools--currently...
  4. Newsletter templates anyone?

    Bumping this back up! I'd like to do a newsletter as well for my schools (maybe quarterly though). What are some items I should include? I figured I'd give updates like K-4th vision and hearing...
  5. Grants for nursing equipment?

    My budget barely covers bandaids and tylenol if we're being
  6. SY 2021-2022 Roll Call

    Its frustrating for sure! Having to be the one to enforce quarantines, our new 48 hours before returning (for any Covid-like symptom), etc has definitely put a strain on being a school
  7. NCSN

    I have a BS in a different field, so its not that I don't have the education/didn't put in the time. Everywhere I've worked did not differentiate in acuity level allowed to work or pay between the...
  8. I may hate my School Nursing job...ADVICE, PLEASE?

    @DenverRN I totally get it! I started school nursing so I could be around for my kids. BUT the whole reason I went into nursing was the excitement (I worked at a Level 1 Trauma ED out of nursing...
  9. Best Inservices you've had

    I just took this on my own and loved it! I learned so much and it really helped with what to say to some of the
  10. NCSN

    Congrats! I wish I was eligible. I have my ADN instead of a BSN so I'm not allowed to take it. Its too bad since there is very little difference between the two
  11. SY 2021-2022 Roll Call

    Year 3 for me! As my name suggests I work in a small rural county--I work three days a week-one day at each of 3 K-12 schools in my county. Year 1 I just had one school and starting last year picked...
  12. Anyone taken a pay cut for sanity?

    I was an ER RN prior to having kids. It was a level 1 trauma facility around 70 minutes from my house. When I decided to go back to working after my youngest entered preschool I wanted something...
  13. New Grad butting heads with LPN

    She's testing you--she probably feels she has the upper hand because she has been there so long--even though your license gives you the ability to do more. To the extent you can ignore her bad...
  14. How to deal with change of shift admits

    I would have done the same thing as you. You did the admissions plus as much as possible prior to shift change. I worked ER and had similar issues-a patient getting brought back with about 20 orders...
  15. I turned in my mentor because she was diverting morphine

    When I first came out of nursing school I landed a job at a Level 1 Trauma ER. They had an amazing orientation/training program and I became very good friends with another new nurse in our class....
  16. Pain patients being denied their medication!

    Psoriatic arthritis sucks! And I don't think a lot of doctors realize the extent of the pain. I was diagnosed with PSA when I was 28. Now, at 39 I have an amazing Rheumatologist and a decent plan in...
  17. Missouri School Nurses - BinaxNOW Rapid Testing

    I work one day each at 3 schools in the county. 2 chose to order the Binax and 1 did not. The one that didn't cited issues with the school board approving them and not wanting to be responsible for...
