  1. Questions about office nursing!

    luvmykidz replied to luvapug's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I'm curious too!

  2. Those who left school nursing for another job-are you happy with your decision?

    luvmykidz posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

    luvmykidz replied to voraciousj's topic in General Nursing

    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. Scared I won't like nursing! Wondering if I should be a teacher instead.

    luvmykidz replied to April2318's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    luvmykidz replied to mamaluna's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    luvmykidz replied to BeSweet's topic in General Nursing

    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.

    luvmykidz replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    luvmykidz posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

  9. To leave or stay?

    luvmykidz replied to luvmykidz's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  10. Moving out of hospital bedside nursing

    luvmykidz replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General 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

    luvmykidz replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    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

    luvmykidz replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    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

    luvmykidz replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    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!!!

    luvmykidz replied to jagalu100305's topic in Pediatric

    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

    luvmykidz replied to spp2423's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

  16. BLAH!!

    luvmykidz replied to Nursemo210's topic in School

    I know several nurses, myself included, that struggled with the transition from hospital nursing to school nursing. It's not as face-paced but it's also less stress (most of the time or at least a...

  17. Pet Peeve

    luvmykidz replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I wear scrubs because I sub at different schools and it's just easier for people to recognize me as the nurse, or so I thought, until yesterday when a staff member thought I was a school cook!

  18. From Nursing to Stay at Home Mom

    luvmykidz replied to 816lucy's topic in Nursing Career

    If you know for sure you want to return to nursing esp with the economy the way it is then find something you can do per diem. That way you can keep your foot in the door and your skills up to date. I...

  19. unhappy with school nursing

    luvmykidz replied to jagalu100305's topic in School

    If I were you I would wait until summer and go back to the NICU if you can. That way you can see if you really are as happy there as you remember and if you are you can quit the school nurse job and...

  20. How do you handle these?

    luvmykidz replied to LACA's topic in School

    I used to get so frustrated when I'd see kids that wanted treatment for something that happened over the weekend but I soon realized a lot of well-meaning parents just don't know if something needs...

  22. Anyone work at St. Joseph's Hospital in Parkersburg?

    luvmykidz posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was considering applying to this hospital and I haven't really heard anything good or bad about it. I was just wondering if it was a good place to work or not. Any info would be helpful.

  23. School nurse and pregnancy

    luvmykidz replied to pvtschoolnurse's topic in School

    I was a school nurse through two of my pregnancies and was exposed to Fifth Disease several times and never got it. I became a stay at home mom after my second baby was born and three years later when...

  24. Anyone work at St. Joseph's Hospital in Parkersburg?

    luvmykidz replied to luvmykidz's topic in General Nursing

    I applied at both St Joe and Camden Clark and didn't hear anything back from either one of them! I currently have another part-time job for the time being! I even made follow-up calls and left...
