    Urgent.. Should I take hospital job or stay at clinic job? So torn!

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

    Good advice from Rose_Queen. I'd add in, if it applies, family. Your spouse, do you have kids, how old are the kids, etc? Working in a clinic is more conducive to family life if your kids are in...

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

    Yeah, I'm 58 and had the vaccine and have suffered no ill effects :) Although . . . . . most people my age are getting gray hair and most of us have had that vaccine. So, maybe smallpox vaccine...

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

    What a week we've had. A few things that happened but not necessarily related to me. I was at one high school when I saw a 7th grader in the VP's office and his mom outside in a chair with the...

    Spidey's mom replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah well, my local newspaper frequently runs with a story before facts are truly known and then have to back track. As a ER nurse, I saw that all that time. I had the victim in the ER . . . . the...

    Spidey's mom replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    You are telling a nurse she lives in a "Pollyanna" world. No, I just want the truth. Whatever it is . . . but speculating based on "unnamed sources" has not been a smart thing to do in the past and...

    You already posted this and I quoted it - I'm sure your message got out. I've done a wider search and no news outlet is reporting this except the newspaper. The police haven't reported it. Only...

    Ethics: Does knowledge of a patient's blood borne pathogen change your care?

    Spidey's mom replied to JMed18's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still not clear on why we wouldn't include the CNA's in the information about our patients? Diagnosis, blood borne pathogen; post-op instructions regarding moving, getting out of bed; timing of...

    Sports clearances and clerical help

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

    I have absolutely nothing to do with sports physicals and I'm GRATEFUL! The paperwork goes out with the registration information at the end of summer. The parents have to take their kids into the...

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

    Because of Brian and AN, I've met, in person, more than once, two AN members. I've also become internet friends with many others. My best memory .........that's hard to pin down. I think I'll...

    That isn't what is happening and pretty unfair. They are working hard on it. We all have to practice patience and I'm including myself in

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

    I agree. But . . . . . . the bureaucratic nonsense that dictates how I am supposed to do things says otherwise. And . . . I found out yesterday that all the schools in our county will be audited by...

    Peanut allergies how does your school handle them?

    Spidey's mom replied to 100kids's topic in School

    :) We are not peanut-free. Parents are encouraged to send in a lunch for their kids. Epi-pen training as well. All the training I've had as a school nurse states we have gone overboard with the...

    Spidey's mom replied to JMed18's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I agree. It doesn't change my care. What I'm curious about is the idea that we don't share medical information with our CNA's or Tech's. Where I work, they are part of the team and part of...

    I have a little tiny room just off the cafeteria where I do H&V's. I'll probably do that next time BUT . . . . I may not be on campus then. She and her brother are seeing a counselor who is...

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

    Yep, quiet place is good but that means the office with scared staff who might just use an epi-pen. I need to get something in writing to soothe their qualms. They hate the mandates on high from...
