Hello all! I am working toward my MSN Admin degree and am required to do a quality improvement project in my current workplace. I'm a school nurse in a small, rural district (K-12 with about 800 students) and am struggling to come up with a topic, s...

Thank you for the ideas, these are all great!

I had a similar situation... teacher brought down 2 students on that had nearly identical linear bruises on their forearms and insides of their elbows. The teacher was freaking out thinking they had some weird contagious illness. The students swore...

I completely understand. We've had parents blasting us on Facebook, too. I just think it's ridiculous that we, the nurses, get blamed for allowing this to happen. We can only do so much... And as long as we are following policy, we are doing our job...

I've been cursed with both this week I'm ready for summer vacation LOL

I could have written this myself! And to top things off, our local newspaper published a front page article about lice in our district, saying we had 5 "confirmed" cases... Um, know for a fact those weren't confirmed by me or administrators because ...

Don't worry. With all the body fluids we encounter, they'll be colorful soon enough.

I am sooooo excited (and equally nervous lol) that I have finally landed an interview on the Postpartum/Mother-Baby unit I originally applied for 5 months ago. The position had been filled, but another opened up so I applied for it this past Friday ...

HAHAHA, thanks guys, I needed a laugh! "Doc said he's an ass burger" ROFL!

:lol2: HAHAHA, that is flippin' awesome!! You are my new role model

Thanks everyone, I will definitely keep you posted (I go in this week to do all the paperwork/pre-employment screening, but assuming that goes well, I start the hospital orientation/training on the 15th! I am so excited!!) RNmom6 - I am starting ou...

I think it sounds promising as well... hopefully everything will come through soon and the job will be yours :)

Just curious how your interview went? Good news, I hope

Absolutely!! I am sooo thankful to you all. I went over and over the info you guys gave me, to the point where I was hardly even nervous when I arrived for the interview (and if you knew me IRL, you'd know that's an amazing feat! LOL I'm like the que...

The interview went great this morning! I was basically told the job is mine, I just have to wait for HR to do their thing... I am SOOO excited!!

Thanks Eric :) I was pretty sure it was a long shot, because I wasn't sure of the other S/S... always welcome a learning opportunity though!

Is there any chance the infant could have osteogenesis imperfecta? (Sorry if I am way off the mark It was the first thing that popped in my head when I read about the multiple skull fractures...)

Thank you all for the luck (I'll take as much as I can get ), and thank you to misschiatia and twentytenRN for the wonderful suggestions! I will definitely jot down those questions to help prepare myself :) Thanks again everyone! I will let everyone...

hehe, that's awesome LOL

haha, this is soooo true!

The hospital that hosted us during clinicals doesn't do elective abortions, but as others have stated, you never know what you will see... a fellow student of mine was doing her rotation on the GYN unit, and had a patient that was in for a cerclage (...

This is why I asked, because that was what I thought as well... but when I did have a DNR patient code as a student, I hurried to the hall and flagged down another nurse and told her what was happening... she said "girl, you don't walk out all calm, ...

hahaha, well personally, I prefer the word "lochia" over "mucous" and "phlegm" LOL
