  1. Fixing the past?

    missfixit replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    The parent is being dramatic and is teaching her daughter to act the same. We all make mistakes and not being able to forgive someone shows very poor character. Anyway, wonder why the child could come...

  2. Fire Drill...

    missfixit replied to lovepink's topic in School

    Your principal should let you know if you have any specific duties. You need to ask administration. I evacuate my office only and take my ER bags. I always go to the same place, that way if I am...

  3. What would you have done?

    missfixit replied to LACA's topic in School

    This is my third year and I have learned it is always better to call with any "injury". I have 4k-3rd, so I have the "babies". Usually, it is worth the few minutes it takes to make the call. If there...

    missfixit replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

  5. What do your students call you!

    missfixit replied to nuwbee25's topic in School

    Mrs. "last name", Nurse, Nurse "last name" and Miss Nurse or Miss "first name". I do not allow them to call me by my first name only. Anything else is

  9. I must be the exception, not the rule....

    missfixit replied to LACA's topic in School

    I am pretty much in the same boat. I have about 900 students- 4k-3rd, so my school is bigger. Usually, when I become frustrated, it is because I can't get a minute to catch my breath because of all...

  10. Substituting

    missfixit replied to mia98's topic in School

    I subbed for 3 years before I was hired for a full time position. I think it is a great way to learn the ropes and decide if it is the right job for you. In my district, full time nurse postitions do...

  11. Urine-like odor?

    missfixit replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I am dealing with a similar problem. I have three siblings at my school and they all smell terrible! It is not your typical "lack of hygiene" smell. I think it has something to do with the environment...

  13. Have you had a bad reaction to the H1N1 vaccine? If so what happened?

    missfixit replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I got the H1N1 shot 5 days ago. My arm was sore for 2 days. I had a slight intermediate discomfort in my neck for 3-4 days- felt like nerve pain. Developed a headache that lasted 24 hours Saturday-...

  14. seriously, i get paid for this???????

    missfixit replied to rdsxfnrn's topic in School

    Enjoy it! There are days that i can barely get a minute to go to the bathroom! I usually think the opposite " I don't get paid enough to do this!" But I do LOVE my job and the

  15. Got a flu shot - now my entire arm hurts

    missfixit replied to shoelace's topic in General Nursing

    My arm was sore for about 3 days after getting the seasonal flu shot. It hurt more while it was being injected as well. I have had little to no pain in the past. I think it has something to do with...

  18. Forehead thermometers

    missfixit replied to meeka720's topic in School

    I have an Exergen Temporal Scanner. You can either use a cover or clean it with alcohol. I like it, but still prefer my oral thermometer. Not sure how much money you will save if you use it with...

  19. Do you have clinic rules?

    missfixit replied to Trueblood83's topic in School

    I ask for passes, if possible, to make sure the student is where they are suppose to be. This usually has there name and why they are coming to the nurse written on it. This is helpful for my age...

  20. First Aid Kits for Teachers/Office Staff. What do you put in yours?

    missfixit replied to Trueblood83's topic in School

  21. AED training

    missfixit replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I think that in order to train others to use an AED that you have to be qualified as a trainer. Also, I would think that only those trained in CPR should use AED's. More than likely if someone needs...

  22. Did I do the right thing?

    missfixit replied to luvschoolnursing's topic in School

    I would make sure that I put her on my "call EVERY visit list" and hope that she started visiting ALOT! hahaha You did NOTHING wrong, some people can't be pleased!!! Don't let it bother you, hard to...

  25. If they think they can do a better job, why do they need us ???

    missfixit replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in School

    You don't know how many times I have wanted to say, "Go back to school, get a nursing degree and come take my job because evidently you want to be a nurse instead of a teacher!" Or "If you are going...
