    SAHM, haven't worked in a long time, thinking of applying for school nurse job.

    luvschoolnursing replied to Oedgar's topic in School

    :aln:Stuck that little icon there because that is how you feel sometimes. All the advice the above poster gave you is great. Two years away really isn't that long, and you will probably do fine, but...

    Statistics!!!!! One decision away......RN

    luvschoolnursing replied to PurpleLVN's topic in LPN to RN

    If you are planning on getting your BSN, you might as well get it over with . I am terrible at math and it was by far the hardest course I took. I was known to leave the class, go to the bathroom,...

    What copier do you use?

    luvschoolnursing replied to guest83140's topic in School

    Just curious, if you do buy your own copier, will your school district's tech people provide support if there is a problem you can't

    substitutes?

    luvschoolnursing replied to schoolnurse09's topic in School

    I try not to get sick. Seriously, though, it seems to be a universal problem. There just aren't that many RN's sitting around waiting to work as subs for the little pay they get. We have kids with 504...

    To dispense or not to dispense?

    luvschoolnursing replied to celticwoman61's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to my world! In school nursing we are faced with stuff like this all the time. Field trips, times we are out sick and there is no nurse available, parents sending meds to school in baggies. It...

    What copier do you use?

    luvschoolnursing replied to guest83140's topic in School

    Nurses Day...are you forgotten ?

    luvschoolnursing replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Any day I don't have to work in the hospital is school nurse day! No one really acknowledges bosses day, admin. assistant day, teachers' day at my school, so I don't expect anything for school...

    VENT about testing

    luvschoolnursing replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    The test days are more important than all the other days together. I HATE standardized testing, but at least in Pennsylvania that is how the school is "graded" and the state can take over your school...

    Out Of Office sign?

    luvschoolnursing replied to 2ndgenschoolnurse's topic in School

    I have a sign on my door "The nurse is at lunch 7th period every day. If you have an emergency, go to the office, if not, come back 8th period." Of course, there are often "emergencies" anything from...

    Immunization records

    luvschoolnursing replied to angela3068's topic in School

    I have immunization cards that I keep in a separate box from the records. We have been working with our tech department to get them online, though. I think if they get them up and going for us, I will...

    Advanced Degree Confusion

    luvschoolnursing replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    I, too would like to get a Master's degree, but at my age, I would never recoup the expense through the small salary increase, so it would have to be something that would better me as a nurse and give...

    Pet Peeve

    luvschoolnursing replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I must admit, I have been debating on giving up the scrubs and going for a "dress" look. I'm just too cheap to buy a whole new wardrobe. At times, I feel like I am looked upon differently because I...

    Head Lice

    luvschoolnursing replied to carbaminohemoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    We have recommended olive oil to families with repeat outbreaks because we don't thinks it is a good idea to repeatedly use pesticides. It works well, but like the above posts state, requires diligent...

    Introducing a Helper

    luvschoolnursing replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Don't forget a sun safety one towards the end of the school year. I think the idea I "stole" from the internet was "slip,slap,slop" Slip on a shirt, slap on a hat, slop on some sunscreen. With older...

    Prescription fish oil? You have got to be kidding me!

    luvschoolnursing replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    At my doctor's advice, I take an OTC fish oil product 2X/day. My triglycerides are lower. Don't know if it's from the fish oil or

    New Diabetic Kiddo

    luvschoolnursing replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Especially tricky for you, Praiser because aren't you in elementary? I had a new one diagnosed over Christmas break but he is 15. Not that it is without challenges. Adolescents have their own set of...

    cell phone

    luvschoolnursing replied to bergren's topic in School

    That makes sense. I guess I am just lucky because I am only in one school. In that case, it would definitely be a good idea for the schools to provide phone. In my district all of admin. are provided...

    cell phone

    luvschoolnursing replied to bergren's topic in School

    I really wouldn't have much use for a cell phone at work. I do have a school provided walkie-talkie that works campus wide. I suppose I would use my personal cell phone if we had to evacuate the site,...

    Those who have left bedside nursing (like me...)

    luvschoolnursing replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    Walked away from bedside nursing about 8 years ago and haven't looked back. Don't miss the madness a bit. Yes, I have been told I am no longer a "real nurse" but I know what I do and I believe I make...

    Is this correct??????

    luvschoolnursing replied to rdsxfnrn's topic in School

    I wouldn't have given. Besides, like Sara said, the kid would probably fall asleep. Benadryl isn't my first choice for seasonal allergies. You think the doc would order something like Claritin or...
