  1. Shift Work

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to Mary3010's topic in General Specialties

    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

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to Nsg is an art's topic in Pain Management

    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?

    RuralMOSchoolRN posted a topic in School

    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?

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to icepackstat's topic in School

    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?

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to RuralMOSchoolRN's topic in School

    My budget barely covers bandaids and tylenol if we're being

  6. SY 2021-2022 Roll Call

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    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

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    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?

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to RNPediatric18's topic in School

    @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

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to momsnurse1's topic in School

    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

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    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

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    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?

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    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

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to PedsRN32's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    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

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to CatieK's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    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

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Addictions

    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!

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Pain Management

    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

    RuralMOSchoolRN replied to Cattz's topic in School

    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...
