    SnowyJ replied to FantasiaLover's topic in School

    Make sure you know your contract. When I started my School Nurse job, I could only give a 2 week notice to the hospital. (Job started in exactly 2 weeks!) I lost all of my accrued paid leave and sick...

    So I kind of messed up

    SnowyJ replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be nervous. Own it. Convince yourself they NEED you, then convince them with your confidence. Shoot it, stuff it, hang it on the wall... Seriously, though...You have to believe it is right for...

    SnowyJ replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    Yessss! I have a number of students who have staff as parents. I do notify the parent once I have assessed them. At times it is nice to have them there, since they can come and give ibuprofen to...
