  1. It has been such a relief not to do that. If I could get enough hours to qualify for medical insurance with just doing hospice, I'd stay with just hospice. I'm trying to beef up my hours at the...
  2. Don't feel all alone - me either! As a former L&D nurse, I've already learned all I ever want to know about THAT story. And don't even get me started on the feet of some women! What did I...
  3. Yeah, I'm totally lost too. But that's ok . . . sounds like a hornet's nest that I'm not in the mood to venture into tonight. See you over on Blue,

    Health Insurance

    I personally just want a catastrophic plan (Or a high deductible). I can handle the regular doctor visits and lab tests. I'm looking at personal insurance right now - the cheapest just for me is...

    Gossip Girls... (And boys)

    I bought the first 3 years of tv series E.R. I'm in the third year of the series and HIV status of P.A. Jeanie Boulet and her ex-husband is a large part of the storyline. All about HIPAA and...

    standing orders

    Same for our local school district. Our state has passed laws for stock PR Diazepam for seizures but we don't have any orders for that as we have NO volunteers to do it. No way is a teacher gonna...

    Even the Stoic Have a Breaking Point

    (((Rose_Queen))) Thanks for sharing this story. To tell the truth, I'm not sure about what the hospital has in place for these events. I do know that our hospice team is trained for this though....

    The dreaded topic...lice

    Thanks OldDude. It is amazing how much hysteria there is regarding lice. I started out my job as a school nurse with great advice from the previous one who told me to never do head checks for lice....

    Interesting Article

    Our state does the same for initial licensing. But then after that, it is up to the teachers if they want to keep their CPR/First Aid cards

    Who's Back ?

    I'm not back at school . . . but I'm glad to be back reading about your exploits. I never had a bathroom that 7th graders could poop in because my only office was at the D.O. and the bathroom was...

    Interesting Article

    The article is appallingly sad. We have AED's on each campus but there is NO mandate for CPR for staff. I fought for it the entire 5 years I was working as a school nurse. It is ultimately up to...

    Need Blog by a Pediatrician?

    I had to go look (and read) to be sure . . . but I love him too! Gonna share him on my FB page; hoping the members of my family who are a tad bit wacko when it comes to vaccines and essential oils...

    Underage drinking question? please help

    Never, ever take a drink from someone who "made it for you". You run the risk of a date-rape drug or something else being put in your drink. My advice for my kids was not to drink when they were...

    Ridiculous medical mistakes on TV

    I'm hospice; maybe we get there quickly but for the most part, I can close the eyes and they stay closed. In our small town, the ER docs are the local Family Practice Docs, who are also the OB...

    Why are nurses so backbiting?

    I did work with someone like that - basically throwing tantrums in meetings. A tad tetched in the head in my opinion. But that still doesn't prove that "nurses" are backbiters. She was a Social...

    Why are nurses so backbiting?

    Dogen - of course it exists. I don't deny that there are bullies or "backbiting" co-workers. I simply don't buy into the "nurses" are backbiting wenches. This plays into the NETY nonsense. I agree...

    Why are nurses so backbiting?

    I don't see it where I work either. Small rural hospital where the nurses work acute, L&D, postpartum, ER, surgery, outpatient, hospice. When I was the Nursing Supervisor, I did all of the...
