  1. Yearly Evaluation

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    We do get yearly eval's from the supervisor of health services for the school system. No eval with our schools administration though. I do not send anything to teachers asking them to evaluate me. I...

  2. Frustrated !!

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

  3. Why do you send a student home?

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to whiskeygirl's topic in School

    I would not send a kid home for puking r/t getting hit with a soccer ball. On good days (most) I am very picky about what goes home. My office is very busy and I have alot of FF. Suspicious ortho...

  4. Adults or Peds

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to SAP2008's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should choose the one you are more interested in. I had many peds questions when I took

  5. New & Ready To Move On To Bigger & Better

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to NewGrad07's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's safe to assume that most nursing students expect, at the least, to be respected and valued. I'm sure they also expect to work in a supportive, SAFE environment. I also don't think these...

  6. Flu shots for your kids??

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    My kids got their flu shot. My daughter is a passer outer too and she didn't feel a thing. I think it's definitely worth

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to S.T.A.C.E.Y's topic in Emergency

    The theme song to Jaws would be fun... Da na......da na.......dunt dant dunt dant dunt

  8. Highest paid nursing field?

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Nursing

    If you are so content and fufilled with your choice to be childless, then why would you feel the need to list your justifications? I know I'm happy as a mother and I don't need to justify that. I also...

  9. ER Only Background for CRNA??

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to edrn21's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If your experience is in a Level I Trauma Center then LSU Health Sciences Center will accept that.

  10. Healthy women schedule C-sections to prevent vaginal stretching

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I really cannot imagine why any woman would choose a c-section over lady partsl birth. I'm not talking about for health or safety reasons. I've had both and I'd have 10 lady partsl births over 1...

  11. Anybody else just recertify their PALS??

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to vamedic4's topic in General Nursing

  12. New Orleans Nurses

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to time4meRN's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    We absolutely need all the help we can get. Sorry no one replied sooner, I've found that this section is used mainly by nursing students who just may not know. Please contact West Jefferson Medical...

  13. Do u know any hospitals that may pay off my Nursing student loan of $40,000?

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to parkingmanager's topic in California Nursing

    If you're interested in moving to New Orleans and working here for 3 years I may be able to help

  14. GI/ endoscopy clinic nurse

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to goubuli's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a clinic or hospital endoscopy? It really depends on which it is. If it's hospital, then I would say it is pretty physically demanding. There are alot of patients that have to be moved,...

  15. GI/ endoscopy clinic nurse

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to goubuli's topic in General Nursing

    The "lots of gas" is something you do have to get over but after immediate over-exposure to it you hardly hear it anymore. It's not an easy job, the hours are good, the call is so so. We get called in...

  16. Cellulitis and spider bites

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to nursekatie22's topic in Medical-Surgical

    The poor spiders get blamed all the time. I'm not saying that some cellulitis isn't caused by spider bites because of course it is. It's funny how the majority of people assume the cellulitis was...

  17. My 1st colonoscopy - draping & pain questions

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to carolla's topic in Gastroenterology

    It's really not possible. There would be nowhere for that patient to stay for the duration of their prep, there is only one bathroom for the entire unit, and there is no guarantee that after X amount...

  18. My 1st colonoscopy - draping & pain questions

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to carolla's topic in Gastroenterology

    What would they have done to remedy it? If you didn't take your prep properly there is really nothing that they can do but give it a shot and see if it works. As far as the people that have had...

  19. Colleagues who call in sick, but aren't.

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    After 2 years of no call-ins, no lates, nothing I called in because the girl I switched with had a family emergency at 10 pm the night before and could not cover for me. I received a scathing,...

  20. Score- MD=1 Beary=0

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to Beary-nice's topic in General Nursing

    Don't let MD's or anyone else treat you like crap. If they get away with it once you are sunk. I don't care what kind of "reputation" this doc has. Even if you can't think of anything to say in the...

  21. The best place

  22. Ack! My Mother is "That patient"

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    I would have taken the coffee, and gotten her some

  23. Finding camp work..

    ItsyBitsySpider posted a topic in Camp

    Hey all, I am interested in camp nursing but I was wondering how you all go about finding a position. Do you all search online? I haven't seen any ads in the paper. Any help would be great!

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to vonxojn's topic in Emergency

    I do not wear my badge if I'm there after hours. I do keep it in my purse or pocket for the parking garage, doors, etc. What drives me are the employees, nurses especially 'cause I feel they know...
