    Nurse in a bar... Should you help?

    Spidey's mom replied to crc2015's topic in General Students

    I saw two accidents on the way home on I-5. Lots of people already standing there; no EMS yet. Didn't stop. Obviously if someone were choking in a restaurant, and no one else was helping then I'd...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Spidey's mom replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Oh man . . . just when I found this great meme. You did say we could still talk about it but make it related to influenza vaccine. Maybe just make the connection to getting the flu instead of...

    How often did YOU see the school nurse?

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

    My memory was jogged as well! I do remember standing in line to get immunized. I have the scar to prove it. But I don't know if it was the school

    11/7: what I learned this week: Trey Anastasio wants to weigh your head; Cerner is stupid

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

    That is not Northern California. Beautiful . . .but not NorCal. Does that have something to do with pimples!? Our hospice uses HPMS . . . . .I'll bet you dollars to donuts, our program is...

    Nurse in a bar... Should you help?

    Spidey's mom replied to crc2015's topic in General Students

    Thanks - I was going to say that as well. My last CPR class stated this - that getting the blood circulating with chest compressions is more important than breathing into their lungs. I too carry an...

    Top ethical concerns to RNs

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

    Just got back from a hospice conference and your post was timely. Our state recently passed a Death With Dignity law allowing Physician-assisted suicide. It has put hospices in a tough position....

    How often did YOU see the school nurse?

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

    I don't remember a school nurse either but then I moved a lot as a kid. Elementary school in the late 60's and graduated high school in 1975. Not exactly the dark ages but still . . .

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

    Good to see you Praiser! You've helped me many times in the past. I hesitate to venture in here because two weeks ago, I left my school nurse job after exactly 5 years. My journey was probably...

    Tips for Being a Good Patient

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

    Good advice so far. I'd bring my own incontinence stuff though. Sometimes the hospital version isn't as good. (The pads I was asked to use after having a baby were worthless!). Good

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

    Thanks. :) I work in hospice too and you deserve kudos as well. The kids, for me, aren't that much of a problem. It is some of the parents. It is some of the teachers and principals. My last day...

    Hospice EMR

    Spidey's mom replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Sounds like HPMS . . . which is what we use. The screen flickers when you advance to the next screen. It is slow, slow, slow. The initial introduction by a rep and the instructions are not very...

    IVs in the breast

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

    I've never seen one started in the breast. Lots in the foot though. That's usually where I go when I can't find another place. We are a rural area - our PICC lines had to depend on the CRNA. If he...

    Please share your opinions! Which would YOU pick?

    Spidey's mom replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I would need the insurance so #1 is my choice. Although, that is a lot of patients in a day. This is all really individual. The commute does matter for me as well as I live in a rural area. Good...

    Depression and Nursing

    Spidey's mom replied to EmRN14's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm going to add my "yes, yes, yes" to this as well. I hit a low point last year and have been seeing a counselor specializing in cognitive therapy off and on. I also quit one job and that has...

    Random Thoughts: School Nurses

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

    I kinda feel bad about this making me grin. :) Because I'm no longer working as a school nurse as of Friday. But I do that same thing - jump and scream - for no real good reason. My family loves...

    Jolie - great post as usual. In our state, we have had that law for years. However, NO teacher or other staff will agree to be trained to administer PR meds in my district. They are inundated...
