    luvschoolnursing replied to Aquarius70's topic in General Nursing

    Fyi

    luvschoolnursing replied to Tippy-ta-ta's topic in General Nursing

    Not many nurses want to work for the $75/day sub pay. When I am off, there is rarely a sub. As far as teachers being CPR trained, our local EMS will come to the school and do it for free, so cost is...

    luvschoolnursing replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    Wow! I guess I am lucky. I was given $700 for my school of 1,000 and was complaining. I am VERY particular with who I give an ACE wrap to. If it didn't just happen and there is no evidence of injury,...

    Vent- I am NOT the cafeteria!

    luvschoolnursing replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    I do keep snacks for my kids, I just make sure they're not TOO good. Pretzels are good, and cheap, since I have to buy anything myself. That way, if they truly couldn't have bfk, I can give them...

    luvschoolnursing replied to kidsnurse1969's topic in School
