    Kindergartners taking off clothes at school

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

    I did follow up with parents regarding that - he has asthma as well. Parents aren't concerned but put a bug in their ear so to speak. I personally purchased some wet wipes for one student to...

    New school nurse starting a new program

    Spidey's mom replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    I went to that link and it only has the index. It certainly sounds like a good resource. I see they use NASN and the state branch as well. Here in California it is CSNO. To the OP - there are...

    Apologies for using the term "NETY"

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

    When I first started, I was taught by a combination of nurses. The older nurses who had helped start our hospital and who basically ran the hospital back then. Loved the stories about delivering of...

    Ignoring your education?

    Spidey's mom replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    The OP was asking about being a naturopath. The thread is too long for me to sift through and find the post about bloodless medicine. To my understanding, that simply means surgery that uses no...

    Ignoring your education?

    Spidey's mom replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    I went to check it out just now and it is a pretty active thread so I think that counts as something recent to be frustrated about regarding the OP's

    Ignoring your education?

    Spidey's mom replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    Let's remember to debate the subject not the poster. This subject is sure to generate disagreement (homeopathic vs. medical science) and I sometimes have to walk away when I get to this point...

    ICU Burnout

    Spidey's mom replied to Iliauna's topic in Nursing Career

    I wanna know where you guys work. Those of you in the hell-holes you describe. I've had many experiences with nurses who work our local ICU's and some are friends of mine who I went through school...

    Ignoring your education?

    Spidey's mom replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    Did someone say it was bad etiquette? Because it isn't. It is just being politically correct and trying not to offend someone. Which I think we have gone overboard on lately . . .

    Just done CPR on neighbour's wife

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

    I've done that once at the scene of a car accident. Internal injuries obviously killed him but I didn't have an X-ray machine on me. You did what you could - CPR is not pretty nor is it always...

    Ignoring your education?

    Spidey's mom replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly right - she couldn't remember the exact "essential oil" cure so just used "lavender". The internet is rife with folks who push essential oils for curing diseases of all kinds. It is also...

    Why do nurses eat their young?

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

    That would be great! I'm a big promoter of medical mission nursing. I've been to Vietnam twice with a medical mission. We go for 2.5 weeks, set up a clinic in a different village and sometimes a...

    Apologies for using the term "NETY"

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

    Same thing happened to me in my RN to BSN program. I winced. But by then, I'd already been a member here for a long long time. I truly dislike stereotypes, urban myths, political correctness,...

    Kindergartners taking off clothes at school

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

    Yeah, it amazes me what they ask the school nurse to do. Three times this week a 2nd grade boy has come up to me in the hallway to announce "I've peed three times this morning but no poop yet". I...

    Apologies for using the term "NETY"

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

    Thank you! I know when I first came here as a new nurse all those many years ago, this was all pretty foreign to me. And I was 40! Hope you get your troubles figured

    Why do nurses eat their young?

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

    There are many reasons that isn't true and one is that a BSN is not required to be a registered nurse. The ADN program prepares us just fine to be a registered nurse and until it really changes that...

    Falsified Immunization Record

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

    We have it but as others have stated, working on getting all the providers using it as well. Actually, locally in the north state, it works

    fired for cancelling shifts d/t health issues?

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

    I had to google it. I've heard of it but only by the entire name - not initials. POTS Symptoms I'd be more worried about diagnosis as well. Pretty darn unsafe to be caring for patients when you...

    Hyperventilation

    Spidey's mom posted a topic in School

    Hi all. I'm wondering if any of you ever wrote up an Action Plan for a student with hyperventilation? I had one student show up in one of the elementary school offices while I just happened to be on...
