    School nurse delays giving epi pen

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

    From the article ^^ There was an Action Plan that said give epi first. The nurse was wrong to wait. People are afraid of epi - that's one of the reasons I use the video I posted earlier. The kids...

    School nurse delays giving epi pen

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

    No one is saying don't immediately assess. I doubt that a school-age student would be having a heart attack unless there is an already diagnosed heart condition or one that hasn't been diagnosed yet....

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

    Argh, you reminded me of a student with pretty severe asthma whose parents would not bring his inhaler in to the school. Went round and round with them after having to get him to the ER a couple of...

    Got chewed out by my clinical instructor

    Spidey's mom replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Students

    I agree. Just because you are young doesn't mean you should be excused for acting immature. If that were the case, we'd all still be in

    School nurse delays giving epi pen

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

    Benadryl does not work in anaphylaxis. And it takes a couple of hours to work for a skin rash. Plus, you can't give someone a medication without a care plan/order in place. Standard of care now...

    What's Rude?

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

    Seems like there is always one nurse who does this. Drives me crazy as well. We had one traveler who would always interrupt and ask questions about a system I hadn't gotten to yet as well. When I...

    School nurse delays giving epi pen

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

    We let students self-carry with an MD's ok . . . and our determination as well that the student knew what to do. I've worked with some very savvy students who are diabetic and have pumps and then...

    CNA first than RN program?

    Spidey's mom replied to bwimfutureRN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with this. And my mentor, a seasoned and savvy nurse, told me the same thing as well. And I didn't take the class and I did just fine. You can be a CNA first but you learn all the same...

    I agree with RubyVee and meanmaryjean. WHY does your friend want you to correspond? What would be the

    School nurse delays giving epi pen

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

    It is dangerous because these orders are not the protocol anymore and many docs have missed that memo. The comments after the OP's article are telling . . . very misinformed

    School nurse delays giving epi pen

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

    That's unfortunately a common mistake that needs to be changed. I was involved with epi-pen education while a school nurse and I learned a lot about it that changed my perspective on what needed to...

    Got chewed out by my clinical instructor

    Spidey's mom replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Students

    Probably just trying to not use real profanity on a nursing bb. Glad to see others didn't get the "inside joke" either.

    Husband became a RN

    Spidey's mom replied to NurseLady1210's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, probably a good point. It is just hard to make any kind of real constructive comments when you only hear one side of the story. I am sorry that the OP thinks she has "lost her identity". I...

    Husband became a RN

    Spidey's mom replied to NurseLady1210's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to hear from the husband too. Hearing only one side of the story isn't a good way to make a judgment. OP - would you be willing to ask your husband to write his perspective

    Hard Truth of Nursing

    Spidey's mom replied to Mr.Bill RN, BSN's topic in General Nursing

    You make a good point. I seriously doubt this is all greedy hospital administrators. Personally, I think it has to do with government interference and bureaucracy in the business of medicine. But...

    Got chewed out by my clinical instructor

    Spidey's mom replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Students

    I don't "get" the joke at all. But I agree with the other posters that "giggly" nursing students need to stop being giggly and be professional. And I agree with the professor who gave you all a...

    Spidey's mom replied to x3divine's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think this could have been handled better. We all make mistakes, especially when we are new at something. I've been a nurse for 19 years and in a new situation, still could make a mistake. Yes,...

    showering: before or after work

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

    It takes me more that 60 seconds of hot water on my face to wake up enough to get ready for work. Which I'll do shortly. After my 2nd cup of

    showering: before or after work

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

    I worked with someone like you. When we talked about how we got ready for work I always said I had to get up an hour ahead of time so I could shower. We had to be at work by 0245 so I got up at...
