I was wondering if anyone has this type of position in their ED? I recently took an ED Nurse Liason position in a level 1 trauma center in IL and I am the 1st to have this position in a while...it was phased out and recently brought back. So that ...

thanks everybody! It is my biggest fear that I would be put into an assignment, not that I couldn't do it just that if I am...1 time...then it will happen again and then after awhile this position will die. I think the initial key to the success...

Are you a member of NASN? and at what level do you belong? What is the difference between Active and Member-at-large? besides the price? Is it worth the $$$? I am a member of the INA (Illinois Nursing Association) and thinking that the journal ...

Last summer I made sure the couch doesn't leave the living room and this summer I am in charge of making sure the beach doesn't leave the lake...BIG responsibility, I know, but some one has to do it!

Pat Benner, Novice to Expert She was the theorist base for the program I went through. Good book too...if you are into reading theory and stuff. If you are in nursing school look to your nursing school's vision and mission, there should be a theoris...

i usually leave things for a sub to do, like filling, because I know that they want to be helpful...maybe when they call and ask, if its ahead of time offer your service. Things you like to do, I could use a good organizer...not my strong suit, I am...

minooka, illinois. hanging out here since jan 2007(1.5 years). best job for my family! i have to say that about a month ago i loved this job a whole lot more than i do today, but it is friday and i don't have to work this weekend or any weekend fo...

I had some cranky parents call my principal and complain that I was not listening to the child, or that I was not...I don't know... the result is my policy that I eval (temp, BR needs, breakfast, when is lunch)and "treat" with crackers, a 5 min rest ...

Mine is very bland! tabacco/jaundice colored walls with a tacky sun moon border and a bulletin board I update occasionally. We don't have great heating or air...so most of the time my door is closed. Which makes for a sad school nurse so most of t...

sure getting the heating and cooling fixed would be great, but we are building and new facility and so most things will just be pushed off like anything that isn't on fire or things like that!

No Weekends No Holidays & Summer VACATION!!!!!! I took my job for those reasons. I am in the same union as the janitor and secretaries and am proud to be included with such great people (at least the people I work with). I do wish that I had ...

I use water and soap. I had read something a while back about new skin growth. Some kids ask for H2O2, but I refuse and tell them to let thier mom when they get home. I use H2O2 for cleaning blood out of clothing to send kids back to class and not...

I just heard of the Ketchup thing in a parents magazine!!! I don't have little little kids, but thought of suggesting that to the other nurses in the district! I am going to make the kids leave thier planner with me to get my ice packs returned! I...

SUB! I think that is a great way to get a taste of it and get out fast or get the dirt on where the next opening will be. I am lonely sometimes, but I can wander the building, help with class experiments, go to recess (with a cooler of ice packs a...

I am not on the pay scale as the teachers..IL doen't require that the school have a CSN-certified School Nurse-and my district dosen't want us to have it because then I would be on the same scale as the teachers with all of thier benefits-TRS, Tenure...

I am tempted too. I tried, but the thought of being inside on a beautiful day or sleeping all day because I worked the night before...maybe I'll do it next summer!

I was just thinking of you all! I "tried" to get a summer job and then realized that EOW stinks! So I have been hanging with the most awsome person...my daughter! & visiting every park we see. Today the Zoo! Tommorrow the possibilities are ...

OK I was asked to work on a program that would encourage healthy eating for my 6th graders. My take on this would be a lunch table that students would volunteer to sit at and we could talk about diets, health and wellness. With parental and school ...

WOW! keep writting!!! We will all be buying your books one day! Really awsome work & your classmates, future co-workers and PATIENTS are lucky!!!!!

i just wanted to say thanks and have a great summer!!!!!! i have thought so many times about leaving this job and wondered why we do this to ourselves...no i can do nothing about the poster putty in your hair!!! do i look like your mom!???!?!! &a...

{{{Hugs}}} I hope things go well for you! I don't think my district has a policy, BUT we will...at the first day of school next year...its my new priority!

2nd, i was just talking about this with a teacher i work with! i believe there are too many entry points. i have worked with adns, lpns both who i learned tons from and would trust to do any of the skills that i perform and would rather they do them...

By the way I LOVE your louse! It really fits our work!
