  2. What would you do??!

    Neveranurseagain replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

  4. Privacy in school nurse's office

    Neveranurseagain replied to realnursealso/LPN's topic in School

  5. How do you feel about the pay?

    Neveranurseagain replied to millhouse's topic in School

    I wondered when a thread like this was going to be started! I too, am underpaid, considering my responsibilities. My job description is RN, working 6 1/2 hours a day, on a 10 month schedule and I make...

  6. Handwashing NEED HELP!

    Neveranurseagain replied to ASandRN's topic in School

    Getting the students to wash their hands was difficult at the last few schools I've worked at because there was not hot water at the bathroom sinks--the water was ice cold. If this is the case at your...

  7. Do I need Insurance?

    Neveranurseagain replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    There are not thousands of med mal attorneys out there. Med mal is a highly specialized field due to its complexity, and med mal attorneys do only med mal. Their numbers are small and few and far in...

  8. Do I need Insurance?

    Neveranurseagain replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    As the patient's relative, you wiould have to accept that. What are your other options? You cannot "tell" a med mal attorney to go after her, unless you are willing to pay him up to $450 an hour, plus...

    Neveranurseagain replied to LACA's topic in School

  10. Do I need Insurance?

    Neveranurseagain replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I don't carry any malpractice insurance. And I'll never get sued since I don't carry any. Attorneys won't accept a case if the person responsible doesn't have malpractice insurance. Med mal is very...

  11. new grad who didn't get into a specific nursing program

    Neveranurseagain replied to dedicate's topic in General Nursing

    Your title, "new grad who didn't get into a specific nursing program" is confusing-maybe they thought you were still thinking like a student when you interviewed. A better way to phrase it would have...

  12. Prioritizing patients

    Neveranurseagain replied to obfuscate's topic in General Nursing

    You need to answer these--why are you asking doctors and nurses to do your homework? Being a student involves learning how to think critically by observation and research. Researching the rational...

  13. Insulin given by nursing assistant?

    Neveranurseagain replied to LightsMyWay's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    Office staff and lay people at schools calculate and give insulin every day to CHILDREN with the blessing of the American Diabetes Assoc.! So this does not surprise me. ADA Launches Fight for Rights...

  14. Do you work in a Neighborhood/Household LTC model?

    Neveranurseagain replied to withasmilelpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Does this mean that every one who cooks is going to have a food service handlers card? Not everyone practices safe cooking practices... I like the idea in theory and I think it would work, but I see...

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

  17. Advice on entering school nursing

    Neveranurseagain replied to potomacpedsRN's topic in School

    I received all of 20 mins training (mostly on how to use the computer program) and was turned loose at my school as the only health care provider. I do call the other school nurses if I have any...

  18. Vision/Hearing Screenings

    Neveranurseagain replied to millhouse's topic in School

    We do our own. The state has a hearing screen training program (8hr class) and then you (if you are an RN) are certified to do hearing screens. The idea behind the hearing screen is to quickly screen...

  23. Really?? A Farmer's Market in the hospital?

    Neveranurseagain replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Something tells me this is a PR thing, not the hospital overly concerned about their patients and visitor's diet. Just another tool they are using to increase "customer satisfaction" and as well as...
