    Christian School and Atheism

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

    I attended a Christian University for my RN to BSN. It was fine really. None of the science-based medical curriculum was based on anything related to Christianity. I had to take two classes about...

    I handled this poorly. What would you do?

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

    I like both these comments. Everyone's responses are great. I would like to say though that as a pre-teen I was subject to a man flashing his member and the whole idea made me very uncomfortable...

    Interesting question for school nurses

    Spidey's mom replied to SchoolNurse101's topic in School

    It was a mandate here as well but went by the wayside due to funding at the state

    Interesting question for school nurses

    Spidey's mom replied to SchoolNurse101's topic in School

    Yeah, I forgot to mention I was wondering about that too . . . .we don't have any breastfeeding teenage moms in my district. We don't do scoliosis screening anymore because the state lacks funding...

    Peppermints

    Spidey's mom replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Wow JustBeachyNurse That's just crazy but some of the attitudes I come up against as well. I do go to bat for the parents though. This student is adopted from an abusive family. She's...

    Peppermints

    Spidey's mom replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    I don't give out any candy at all. And yesterday in a meeting at the D.O. one of the teachers talked to me about his daughter getting candy as a reward in class and he was not happy about it. He's...

    Interesting question for school nurses

    Spidey's mom replied to SchoolNurse101's topic in School

    I do the same as OldDude. Except, my nursing office is at the D.O. and I rarely see a student there. There are 11 campuses in my District. Two elementary schools, two high school, and then all...

    Should I quit my 2nd job? How many work 2 jobs here?

    Spidey's mom replied to CampNurse10's topic in School

    A good friend of mine is torn as well. She would be perfect for my job and has small children and the schedule of summers and holidays off would be great for her family. But she loves what she does...

    It's August!! Who is going back soon??

    Spidey's mom replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Technically I'm supposed to be back with the teachers tomorrow for two days of inservice. But I work hospice on Mondays. I've been putting in some hours ahead of time though. The kids start on...

    Should I quit my 2nd job? How many work 2 jobs here?

    Spidey's mom replied to CampNurse10's topic in School

    I have had two jobs for the past almost 5 years when I started with the school district. I'm keeping the hospice job (casual) and leaving the school nurse job (three 8 hour days a week) in November at...

    That one random nugget of information from nursing school that you've never forgotten..

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

    I honestly don't remember learning it in nursing school but it may be one of those nuggets you hear and forget. I'm still wracking my brain trying to remember a random piece of info from nursing...

    Taboo: 10 Things Nurses Should NEVER Say!

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

    I let it go at work. Except, I said the word "quiet" every shift . . . . . It is online that I link research about the myth of being able to make bad things happen by simply saying "quiet" or that...

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

    I had three kids before I became a nurse. I had no idea . . . .until I was an L&D nurse. So cool how the doc just quietly and carefully swipes it away. No wonder I didn't realize it. :) The...

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

    I dunno . . . . I was told to get off my high horse. ? I've always prefaced my discussion about this subject when it has come up over the years with the idea that if people are just having fun,...

    Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

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

    That's the way I read it too. She was not being rude, sexist, or condescending. I taught my 3 boys to always put the seat down. It is just common courtesy where I grew up. Love your input NOADLS...

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

    Oh gosh . . .I found this awesome photo of Tom Selleck a few days ago that I posted to a friend's FB page. Her hubby looks a lot like him. But I am not going to make another "attachment" mess. I...

    Sorry about the attachments. I'm not tech savvy but have asked a mod to remove them. And hey, it isn't even a full moon! Yet, my computer skills went haywire.

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

    Obviously, I'm that person too. This thread is starting to feel a bit like the anti-vaccine thread. I realize the author meant it for satire as the OP stated such a few posts back....

    No need to be careful. It isn't true! Quiet, quiet, quiet... Don't be

    Taboo: 10 Things Nurses Should NEVER Say!

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

    I said "Quiet" every shift. I never had the power to make people sicker, crazier, or become a trauma victim. It is simply superstition - and if you want to play, fine. But don't think that it is...

    Spidey's mom replied to Goal_NP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You can always water down strong coffee. We had one LVN who made the weakest coffee - it was like drinking tea. We finally asked her to please, stop making coffee! I think that is what I was...
