  2. C'Mon Now!

    We've come full circle! Shut it down.
  3. Not my role... admin rant

    Thanks guys! Student went home, with directions to parents to return with note from
  7. What is this? Dermatological question.

    Sooo....do people not use hydrogen peroxide to rinse out ears anymore? I don't know how much it actually does, but it usually appeases my "ear aches." If not, what do you recommend? Assuming no...
  10. What do you do with your "Stomachache" kids?

    I love the idea of providing "Yucky
  11. Poll: What age group?

    K-2 here! Perfect ages! They're mostly so sweet and loving. I get so many hugs everyday :
  12. Sub vent

    I bet they HAVE to say they are only considering CSNs. I was hired as an RN in my current position without the CSN, by saying I would work towards it. I think letters of recommendation from current...
  13. Our current administrator insists that kids should sneeze/cough into their hands! I was talking to her about how I am putting together a presentation to do in the classes about the role of the school...

  15. Who uses the restroom in your office?

    I'm in a charter and I have no bathroom in my office either! Thank goodness it's next door though. I guess it's because charters often use buildings that were not built to be
  16. What to wear?

    I wear scrubs. The district I subbed in previously, the nurses wore casual attire. I specifically asked about it when I subbed, and they said "something easy to move around in." Makes sense to me! And...
  17. Small kids in the front seat of car.

    I work in a K-2 school. I'm on bus/car duty in the morning and I see SOOOO many of my small students riding in the front passenger seat of the cars... I remarked on this to my school administrator,...
  18. C'Mon Now!

    Ugh. My current admin is like that too. Never wrong, and always correcting you just for the sake of correcting you! Even when she is completely
  19. Small kids in the front seat of car.

    oh man... would that I could! I'm new to this school as of November. And the administration is VERY image conscious. If they think something will go badly with the parents, they are NOT cool with it....

  21. I just wanted to write this thread to for anyone like me who was having problems finding open positions for newly graduating nurses in south jersey. I just got hired at Christiana in Delaware!!!...
  22. new grad feeling discouraged

    If you live in south Jersey, apply to Christiana Care hospitals in Delaware. They are DEFINITELY hiring new grads. I was having no luck in south jersey and panicking as graduation drew near. I...
  23. I don't know about everyone else, but the complete reluctance I've come up against of south jersey hospitals to look at a soon to be graduate nurse has really floored me. They all tell me to call...
  24. No GN law, does it turn you off jersey?

    I guess maybe I'm just running into more troubles because I'm not graduating in the normal time frame of May when all the intern positions and such begin. I won't be done till August and a lot of...
