   MollyJ replied to XXXX5's topic in School

   Re: dogs in the building well, maybe I'm old but I've seen this. Problems: Drug sniffing dogs get nose fatigue just like you and I would if we went on a perfume sniffing mission. They are only good...

2. Thinking about quitting nursing school

   MollyJ replied to LucyJan's topic in General Nursing

   You are very young and when I see young people admitted to nursing school, I wonder at the wisdom. But you're there. Here's the news: You are going to have to take at least some of what she said "to...

3. How do you shake off the horrible?

   MollyJ replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

   I think you are reacting to the parent-child dynamic here. The pain of a mom who could not "make it better" (even before this time) for her child. You might try writing out your thoughts. _Pretend_...

4. Paper vs Computer

   MollyJ replied to javgjv2012's topic in School

   Perhaps we can form a support group. I'm using ours under duress. No one would ever think that ours was put together in consultation with nurses but many nurses obviously think the computer is the...

5. Marijuana and type 2 Diabetic / school nursing

   MollyJ replied to XXXX5's topic in School

   In the state I live in we use a drug recognition protocol that is based on field sobriety tests. I think the results are iffy at best. I also believe that in our community parents can request from...

6. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

   Jules, I would like your comment "twice" if I

7. Does where you received your BSN matter?

   MollyJ replied to brian.lansing's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I think possibly what matters is what your goals are for getting the BSN and what you want it to do for you. The place I got my BSN from was a State University and I feel I can "take my degree...

8. Denver II Screening Tool

   MollyJ replied to AbbyNurse55's topic in General Nursing

   AbbyNurse, The test is done using a standardized kit and while you "could" cobble the kit together, I would say that surely in your community there is a kit you can borrow. The manual with the kit is...

9. Can't get a hold of BRN

   MollyJ replied to Satsun's topic in General Nursing

   You know, I think I would also consider calling my state rep or senator and telling them I cannot get the BRN to call me back. The more I think about it, the more outrageous I think it is that it is...

10. One Liners for FF

    MollyJ replied to CalNevaMimi's topic in School

    I use "all bleeding eventually stops" but more often with teachers than kids. I'm in an elementary building. But how about those nose bleeds? You would think they needed T & C 2 units

11. seeing students in the last 15 minutes of the day

    MollyJ replied to Flare's topic in School

    NanaPoo, I had a kindergartener whose mom is a teacher in the building. And the kindergarten teacher was telling her that at the beginning of the school year, some kindergartener was crying after...

12. Is subbing better than being permanent staff?

    MollyJ replied to Curious1alwys's topic in School

    Subbing is a good way to get to know the building(s) and to try on the job. It also is a way for staff to decide if they like you. However, nothing beats the long term relationship with kids, staff...

13. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    MollyJ replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Jules, the APRN's and PA's I refer to mostly work (but not exclusively) for community mental health center's. Their supervising MD is retired and lives 3 hours away by car. They do not for the most...

14. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    MollyJ replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    BostonFNP, I am not talking about kids who are well managed and doing well on the prescribed regimen. I am talking about outliers, tough cases. But these are individuals whose less than optimal...

15. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    MollyJ replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    BostonFNP, I am not trying to get into a fight here. Surely, everyone has a patient they say about, "They needed someone; I decided it was someone smarter than me." This just looks more like APRN's...
