    charting!!!! I am about to leave home health...

    Spidey's mom replied to principessaGG's topic in Home Health

    Hospice nurse here . . . so far we don't have OASIS charting. But the charting system we do have is unwieldy as well. Electronic charting is the scourge of (many) nurses and physicians everywhere....

    I think I will give negative feedback

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

    I agree that feedback should be given and it should include that the staff stopped as requested. I also know that sometimes WE just don't see ourselves sliding into conversations like this around...

    Off topic: 8 year old found out Santa doesn't exist

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

    I was never the parent who forced that either . . . it really bugged me when I would be in the mall and there would be a child screaming in fear of poor old Santa and the parents were forcing the...

    THIS is what bugs me

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

    Oh and you just reminded me of a time when I took my two teenage boys on a mission trip to Mexico. One of the families who came along brought their 3 year old who was sick with norovirus and didn't...

    Off topic: 8 year old found out Santa doesn't exist

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

    All 4 of my kids figured it out at 3 or 4 and asked us. We told them the truth. But . . . Santa still brings presents every year and my oldest kiddo is 33 and youngest is 15. It is fun to play the...

    THIS is what bugs me

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

    Yeah, viruses and bacteria aren't on the shopping cart handle you just grabbed and didn't clean off before tooling around the grocery store. You didn't see that baby gnawing on the handle and...

    Medical Quackery: Let's talk.

    Spidey's mom posted a topic in Nursing News

    As a well-seasoned nurse I've come across so many medical quackery kind of stories but this one sort of pushed me over the top of the frustration meter. We were talking about it yesterday at work...

    THIS is what bugs me

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

    Now this is funny . . . I had a dream last night about Thanksgiving and a whole bunch of people who were not invited showed up and one couple were sick with nausea and vomiting and my oldest son, who...

    I would like to ask you some questions

    Spidey's mom replied to lyric34's topic in General Nursing

    I'll refer you to the awesome work done by Caroline Jones. Book and documentary. The American Nurse

    What to do ?

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

    I had 11 campuses to attend to . . . I didn't have time for that. I will say I did try to eat lunch in the faculty lunchroom. At one elementary school where my son attended, I was more included in...

    Time to Join in on the Fun

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

    I'm not crazy about pink as well but I made an exception for this while I was still a school nurse.

    Feeling burnt out

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

    Oh lord have mercy . . . I'm not going back to "the floor" at all. I was recently offered "big bucks" to come back to ER and I declined. No way, no

    Feeling burnt out

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

    This was me coming up on my 5th year and I did retire as a school nurse. I did love the kids as I worked from K-12 but I had 11 campuses to cover and worked 3 days a week. There was a lot I couldn't...

    Spidey's mom replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for that! I'm glad nurses caps were not necessary when I went to school. Although one student did wear an original nurses uniform with a skirt to our pinning ceremony and it looked cool! I...

    No Water at Lunch?!

    Spidey's mom replied to shark_nurse14's topic in School

    Even 2 young ladies standing behind you flipping a bottle over and over and dropping it over and over while my mother-in-law and I were watching my son play football is very distracting. As...

    911 Debrief

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

    I agree. Plus, the school nurse, which used to be me, works 3 days a week and there are eleven campuses and no oxygen and no physician. Better safe than sorry - call

    How do YOU check for lice?

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

    This is exactly right. I quit my job as a school nurse a year ago but I never checked for lice during the 5 years I did work there after getting some education about lice. One of the best things I...

    Spidey's mom replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Nursing News

    This just showed up on a Multiple Myeloma group's comment section - 1st comment. Not sure if it is satire or real. Still, there is a crazy mindset out there about
