    Student doesn't eat and I'm the person to fix it!

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

    I'm not saying that a true diagnosis of ADHD or any other mental health issue shouldn't be medicated. I'm saying that many educators and parents are going overboard in saying a kid who is simply...

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

    You have a nurse supervisor??? Wow. As mentioned, I was the ONLY medical authority for 11 campuses . . . would have loved to have someone else to back me

    Student doesn't eat and I'm the person to fix it!

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

    Some research shows we are pushing our young kids too much, too soon. If the child was "100X" worse before meds, maybe he had too much expectation on his plate for a young boy; especially a boy....

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

    That was the hardest part for me; being the only medical authority around. I'd be challenged all the time by one particular principal who unfortunately had a very irritating personality and could be...

    I retired from school nursing last October but I still come here for the laughs and encouragement. Gotta head over to that hamster thread . .

    CNA? Yes or no?

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

    Lots of threads about this. Most recent first linked below. https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/is-working-as-1041134.html https://allnurses.com/cna-ma-nursing/should-i-try-495409.html...

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

    I've really always hated that they call it "Fifth Disease". Makes it sound worse than it is, which is just another virus. Also called slapped-cheek disease. Maybe she should just watch for kids...

    Is working as a CNA necessary?

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

    I learned all of that in nursing school. I'm sure that not all programs are the same but we rotated through every clinical site - the GI lab where I helped prep and got to watch colonoscopies, the ER...

    I agree. Again, this makes sense to me as well. If the OP can't met the obligations of taking a job, the OP needs to not take the

    Never Have I Ever Done That Before

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

    I worked ER for years . . . AC is always where we went in an emergency. Same with the paramedics. Quicker and easier . . . usually. But to each their own. Elderly folks are my main struggle;...

    My mentor who told me not to go the CNA route also hired me. I'm forever grateful for her sage advice and help along the way. I hope you can find someone like

    Spidey's mom replied to 117800's topic in School

    Don't hang your head in shame . . . I do it too. Nothing wrong with it. To tell the truth, if I didn't have a stethoscope, I might listen to kiddo's lungs by putting my ear to his back. You can...

    The Obesity Problem in Rural America

    Spidey's mom replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that we are more sedentary as a nation and that has nothing to do with rural or city life. But where in the heck is that $4.50 head of broccoli sold?? I got mine for $1.65. Bought enough...

    Is working as a CNA necessary?

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

    There are a lot of threads about this issue and we all go back and forth. For me, I was advised by my nursing mentor not to go get my CNA certificate and work as a CNA. She said the first part of...

    Never Have I Ever Done That Before

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

    Those are difficult - had one last week. Missed the first stick; went with the AC after that and got right in for a blood transfusion. My first IV was during my ER clinical in nursing school - a...

    The Obesity Problem in Rural America

    Spidey's mom replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I have some reservations about this research as well. My parents and in-law's generation grew up working on farms and ranches. Our local cardiologists rave about how healthy our elderly...

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

    You learn to "keyboard" when you learn to type. I took typing in high school, thank goodness and then in college I initially took business courses (this was in 1975) and learned shorthand and...
