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

    That's hilariously frustrating but common. I've had to mention this at work and at home as I have them both places and I have to say . . . Clorox is bleach folks. The brand name but still, it is...

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

    Ah yes, this happened to me with one child who had asthma. Parents refused to let him bring inhaler to school. He got exercise-induced breathing difficulties. We don't have standing orders for...

    Pre nursing student w/two kids & a full time job

    Spidey's mom replied to lucymcgillicuddy78's topic in General Nursing

    I was a stay-at-home mom when I started doing pre-reqs. My mom lived with us at the time and my husband was the breadwinner. I waited until my youngest was in 1st grade as I'm not a fan of daycare....

    Ugh . . . no offense to you at all but someone I used to work with who had some . . . ahem. . .mental issues . . . said this all this time. It is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Small vent over....

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

    Right out of high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I attended a community college and got an Associate's Degree in General Education. I went back to school a year later at a university...

    Yearbook sayings

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

    You just made me remember my 8th grade promotion autograph book. I'll have to go look for it but I do remember someone wrote: "When you are fat and out of shape, remember girdles are only $3.98"....

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    Spidey's mom replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with your entire post but the bolded part is important. This one nurse is not responsible for all the short-staffing that occurs on that

    Manager catch phrases

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

    I haven't heard "silo" used either. Glad someone used it in a sentence for me!

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    Spidey's mom replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    Saturday is also the day Seventh Day Adventists worship. If I remember right, there is a more literal interpretation in some congregations that say you shouldn't work on the Sabbath. OP - You need...

    Is It a Full Moon?

    Spidey's mom replied to Tencat12's topic in School

    Nope, all is well. My hospital did do a skit at the elementary school yesterday though. It was pretty funny when one of the nurses accidentally bent over and the kids saw his buttcrack. They loved...

    Anorexia and other eating disorders

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

    This stood out to me . . . where did these girls hear about "muffin tops"? From their moms. WE need to be more careful about what we say about ourselves around our daughters and sons. OP - I'm...

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

    I took Paul Offit's Vaccine History course. It really helps to have a good background. And read any of his books. The truth is, Old Dude is right. We've gone round and round here on AN with...

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

    I caught up on this thread just now and I'm eternally grateful that my last stint in the ER as a nurse had paper charting and not an EMR system. I worked for about 9 months last year in our...
