  1. Questions about office nursing!

    I'm curious too!
  2. Just wondering for those that have done school nursing and decided it wasn't for them and found another job if you're happy with your decision? Everyone keeps telling me I'm crazy and that I'll regret...
  3. Job hopping...

    I don't think it would be a problem at all if you say you are looking for a new area of nursing and like someone else said you gave it a good shot on med-surg/tel at two different hospitals and now...
  4. There are no perfect jobs so no matter what you pick you're always going to wonder if the other would've been a better choice! I've been a sub teacher and a nurse and even a school nurse. They all...
  5. Am I really an RN

    Wow you're post reminded me of myself a long time ago! I too hated med-surg and felt like I was always messing things up and working over to get caught up. We also had two nurse managers on the floor...
  6. Should I take the job?

    That sounds very low but since the postition was for a "health technician" and will also accept LPN's it sounds like they are not wanting to pay a typical RN salary. Also, you have to remember most...
  7. Bedside nurse or school nurse? Opinions please.

    I've done both. I left a job I loved with crappy hours to do school nursing and found a job with great hours that I didn't like nearly as much. I would recommend if they'll let you to shadow a school...
  8. To leave or stay?

    Ok-thanks! That makes me feel better. I was a little worried about burning bridges by leaving them hanging after just starting the school year since they do sometimes have trouble finding subs but I...
  9. To leave or stay?

    I've been subsituting as a school nurse for the past two school years. This school year I was offered a regular schedule of a half day every day but still considered a substitute. I know I don't want...
  10. Moving out of hospital bedside nursing

    I didn't have trouble deciding-just jumped at an opportunity to leave the hospital because of the great hours. I even liked what I was doing-just hated the forced over-time. Well the grass isn't...
  11. Pet Peeve

    I'm seriously considering not wearing scrubs next year since I'll be at the same school all year. I love the convience and comfort of just throwing something on each morning and getting to wear my...
  12. Frequent flyers

    That's very interesting and a good idea. I think there is an underlying reason why any kid is a frequent flyer and sometimes you can help fix it but not always. I had a girl that came in every day for...
  13. Frequent flyers

    I think that 20 is definately a lot! Any more than 10 I would be questioning why they are in so much. In the first couple months of school if I start seeing a student quite a lot and think they are...
  14. nights!!!

    Congratulations! I think it's so great you're following your heart and doing what makes you happy. As far as nights go, some people love them and some hate them. You won't know until you try. If you...
  15. A totally different career path please

    Your post reminded me so much of myself years ago when I was a new grad on med-surg. I thought the same exact thing and felt the same exact way. All of the newly hired nurses in my group felt the same...
