    Neveranurseagain replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    We just finished Fall Break! We start school a week earlier but get a whole week off every fall!!! It's wonderfu-you can go on vacation and have Disneyland and resorts to yourself. Now there are just...

  2. Quick fix??

    Neveranurseagain replied to SchoolNurseBSN's topic in School

    Neveranurseagain replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    I had Kaiser, and had to pay the full premium under Cobra after my husband died. It was a group plan as I don't qualify for an individual policy. And it had a $50 copay to see the MD, and a deductible...

  6. Massive changes to 2011 healthcare benefits??

    Neveranurseagain replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to the real world of healthcare as it has been for me the past 5 years, before Obama was even elected. I paid $1000 a month for myself and 2 teens to the tune of $64,000 over 5 years,...

  7. Just had an interview for DD Nurse and need help PLEASE!

    Neveranurseagain replied to Samira.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with teaching the staff to do meds and procedures when you are not there. You are basically going to be teaching the staff to do everything an RN does, without having to go to nursing...

    Neveranurseagain replied to anonymous1919's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    First, you need to know your nurse practice act for you state, as well as the education code. Most BON have statutes that prevent RN/LPN from delegating certain tasks to unlicensed personnel. Our...

  13. In Surgical tech. program and not too happy.

    Neveranurseagain replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    Johnny, I don't think the medical field is for you. According to your interests, you "watch tv, crack jokes, play pranks, prank calls, sleeping and being lazy." Not hardly someone who would be...

    Neveranurseagain replied to geocachingRN's topic in School

    In our district, every medication, including insulin, must be accompanied by a physician order. You might want to check with your state BON on whether or not you can take orders from parents. If an...

  15. How'd you get that school nurse job?!?!!

    Neveranurseagain replied to SrnD's topic in School

    You may want to work as a camp nurse too, to expose you to the types of things you will see at schools. It will give you a chance to learn to assess ears and use an otoscope, you'll learn to work...

    The MD orders I have for the diabetic in my school is to administer insulin (regular) to cover the lunch time carb count, plus extra units to cover a BS of over 250, twice in a row. She has MD orders...

  17. How long will it take for the State BON to conclude it's investigation?

    Neveranurseagain replied to samegirl's topic in General Nursing

  18. The Fight For Care

    Neveranurseagain replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    Insurance companies and hospitals are the current death panels. I'm all for medical professionals making the descision to continue medical care or not, but I want the decisions to be made by health...

  19. How does a new grad become a CCRN?

    Neveranurseagain replied to Lululi's topic in General Nursing

    And by giving flu shots, you may work with another RN that could have a lead on a job. Year ago, I did flu shots as a new RN and it was busy, but the other nurse I worked with made it

  20. Should I join NASN

    Neveranurseagain replied to millhouse's topic in School

    I'd love to join but I am a single parent and make 20% over the poverty level as a school nurse. So that counts me

  21. Tummy Ache ideas??!?!?

    Neveranurseagain replied to blackscrubs's topic in School

    When students tell me they just had an unwitnessed vomiting, I give them 3 oz of OJ or apple juice. If they really have been vomiting, it will come right back up when the sugar hits their stomach!...

  22. Bill to Help Military Medics Become EMTs Passes House

    Neveranurseagain replied to MedicLifelineRN's topic in General Nursing

    I, too, would think they would qualify for higher than an EMT-B. A DOT EMT class only involves 100 hrs of classroom. EMT-B is similar to being a CNA. There is not many job opportunities and pay is...

  23. How does a new grad become a CCRN?

    Neveranurseagain replied to Lululi's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused by your statement, "They said I could give flu shots. I'm sorry but I could have taken a phlebotomy course if I wanted to give flu shots." Flu shots are given IM, phlebotomy is drawing...

    Neveranurseagain replied to country mom's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing
