    prescription drug addiction

    Spidey's mom replied to shedevilprincss's topic in General Nursing

    Esme - wow, I'm so sorry. I know you've been ill but the details are tough to read. I work wound care and I know wound vacs and have a couple of patients with large abdominal wounds so I sort of...

    My computer only takes 8 1/2 by 11 paper . . . I want a BIG POSTER. I did forward the link to our local school nurse group

    Why Do Nurses Quit?

    Spidey's mom replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Wuzzie - I wanted to tell you that your points stood out to me as well when I read the original post. As someone who has been around AN for awhile, I think you have a very valid point. There is a...

    KatieMI . . . great points! I think we've gone a bit too far overboard with scaring the snot out of people regarding pain meds. There has to be a

    preventing spread of infection

    Spidey's mom replied to lovely07's topic in School

    Jen-Elizabeth, I love that poster! I'm going to order it and hang it in my own bathroom. We have an outbreak of what some parents are calling "Scarlet fever strep" but I haven't confirmed that with...

    Spidey's mom replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    (This is why my 15 year old son will never have a cell phone until he is 18 and has a job and can buy one and pay the monthly fee on his own. Poor kid - he has 3 adult siblings who went to school...

    How do you feel about having other nurses as patients?

    Spidey's mom replied to purplegal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My reaction to loriangel's comment was that I was a L&D nurse, had been the baby nurse in cesareans, and I still was a bit shellshocked when I had an emergency cesarean with my 4th child. And my...

    Do you ever say "no" to an inhaler request?

    Spidey's mom replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    Yeah but . . . don't we school nurses (I'm retired though ya know) complain about teachers sending us kids for no real reason? I wouldn't put it past a teacher to . . . tell a

    Spidey's mom replied to tbnurse1's topic in General Students

    I went back to school at 38 after having 3 kids and waiting until the youngest was in 1st grade. I had a college degree but was fortunate to stay home with my kids. I did see some drama with some...

    Do you ever say "no" to an inhaler request?

    Spidey's mom replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    This is a great thread. We really do need more education and support at school for kids with asthma. Exercise-induced asthma does need to be treated - it is a narrowing of the airways due to...

    Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

    Spidey's mom replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    This is excellent advice! Stand up for yourself and also that child. Honestly, I have issues with having some of the special ed kids mainstreamed in to public schools. Especially if the schools...

    ADHD Student on Rampage

    Spidey's mom replied to Amethya's topic in School

    So many good responses here that I stopped quoting them . . . We have some of the same issues with some kids in our district as well. This child certainly does not sound like it is only ADHD. Or...

    New Nurse PICC line question

    Spidey's mom replied to Josephkey14's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nope, you have to get a new line. There is a learning curve in nursing. I'd ask your employer to give you an inservice on caring for PICC

    Gun Owning Nurses

    Spidey's mom replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I've lived from the southern part of California to the far northern part and lots of people own firearms. I think people are surprised and think of California in a stereotyped way. Even in the big...

    Spidey's mom replied to NurseEnvision's topic in General Nursing

    Wow prmenrs . . . that's very touching. The annual Christmas Light Parade just went by my house . . . they will circle around the hospital parking lot and LTC patients can see it

    Overweight RN talked about

    Spidey's mom replied to VegGal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I see this sometimes in other places besides nursing. Heck, comedians who are overweight make fun of overweight people and use them as joke fodder. I've had to remind a family member with a pot...

    No IEPs?!?

    Spidey's mom replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    You just reminded me that the school psychologist types up the mental health and physical health H&P's so when I do a health report, I read his first. For some reason, some parents were more...

    No IEPs?!?

    Spidey's mom replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    That was my experience as well with IEP's and 504's. However, the principal was in charge of the typing part - we had the info up on a white board on the back of an office door and during the...

    I know - I just thought when I first read that post that the author meant "NSR" to be something else and maybe I was just tired. Thanks though! That is such a good point - assume good intent and...
