  1. audiometer calibration

    Tina, RN replied to Flare's topic in School

    A guy comes once a year and calibrates all the hearing and vision screening machines for our district. He comes to each school and does it. I don't know what the charge is,

  2. 2 Field Trips..1 Day...1Nurse

    Tina, RN replied to RNCourt's topic in School

    Why do you have to break it to the parents?? The principal or director should do it, it's their policy. Now the parents are going to give you a hard time about

  3. No, I'm Not a Beauty Shop!

    Tina, RN replied to mysixlittleones's topic in School

  4. Corporate "doesn't believe in" Nurses Week

    Tina, RN replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    Well, IMO, telling the person is important. I'm not talking about tapping my wine glass, standing, and making a heartfelt speech to the whole restaurant. LOL I'm referring to saying something simple...

  5. Corporate "doesn't believe in" Nurses Week

    Tina, RN replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    Well, yes. I think everyone could use a pat on the back once in a while. For example, when a server at a restaurant is exceptionally good, I usually make it a point to let them know (verbally and via...

  6. Corporate "doesn't believe in" Nurses Week

    Tina, RN replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with canoehead: It doesn't take money to make a morale boost. Popping your head into my office and saying, "Hey! Happy Nurse's Day!" would have been good enough for me. No, it won't make...

  7. Happy School Nurses day

    Tina, RN replied to bsyrn's topic in School

    One of the lunch monitors in my building gave me a very cute card with a handwritten note inside. She is the only person that acknowledged me here. She is such a nice lady! The teachers got a big,...

  8. I Ask For "Nothing".

    Tina, RN replied to CheesePotato's topic in General Nursing

    "I had a doc try to worm a thank you out of me for a lunch his group provided. My answer was simple, "One sandwich does not make up for a bunch of distressing conversations. You made my orientee cry...

  9. "not himself"

    Tina, RN replied to bell1962's topic in School

    I get this a lot with my special education students, too. There is always the expectation that you'll automatically send the child home if he is "not himself". It's so

  10. Why do teachers think they're all that and we're beneath them?

    Tina, RN replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

    Ugh, I feel your pain!! I'd like to say that since school nurses are vastly outnumbered by teachers, we get overlooked/stepped on. But this theory doesn't work out. In the hospital setting, the nurses...

  11. Bravo to you school nurses!

    Tina, RN replied to sommeil's topic in School

    What a nice post! :) Being a school nurse is awesome! I have my days where I am frazzled. But in general, it is great. I think that it's probably the most fun nursing job one can get! The pay does...

  12. Nursing beyond the bedside-for new grads? Help!

    Tina, RN replied to LillyFish's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How about a doctor's office? Or school

  13. Miscalculated salary?

    Tina, RN replied to magspax's topic in School

    I would be in close contact with your union, regarding this. How unfair!!!! Per diem experience is still experience... They should have figured all of that out before you started working. Sheesh. Good...

  14. Design your best nursing shoes...

    Tina, RN replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    They would need to have cooling and massage systems built

  15. RN Medical Records Reviewer?

    Tina, RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello! I am currently a school nurse, with experience in acute care and Workers Comp medical case management. I also have my CCM. I replied to an ad for a RN medical records reviewer for an ortho...

  16. Finished my MSN this morning - ask me anything!

    Tina, RN replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Western Governors University

    Hello all! Please forgive me, but what is an "oral defense" and a "capstone"?? I am just starting to look into online schools for a MSN... Boy, WGU seems to be the way to go for online schooling!...

  17. Is floor nursing making you fat?

    Tina, RN replied to OCRN3's topic in Health, Stress Management

    As I have gotten older, I have become an "emotional eater", for sure. In my younger days, I'd get stressed, lose my appetite and lose weight. I also had the time and energy to go to the gym 3-4 times...

  18. Managing a diabetic student with severe ADD

    Tina, RN replied to BSNbeauty's topic in School

    Whoa. That is an insane situation. I don't have any suggestions, but I'll be watching this thread to see what the more experienced school nurses say... It doesn't seem safe for this child to be in a...

  19. No, I'm Not a Beauty Shop!

    Tina, RN replied to mysixlittleones's topic in School

    But, an LPN may not be able to *legally* do a certain task, and that is fine. The LPN is not simply pushing it off on you to avoid it (hopefully). This is a weird comparison, IMO. I would never expect...

  20. School Nurses: Non-Nursing Tasks????

    Tina, RN replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

    Everything listed above... Plus: Getting knots out of shoelaces, taping broken plastic headbands together, cutting price tags off of clothing, fixing every broken shoe in the building, and on and on....

  21. Tying Patient Satisfaction to Medicare Reimbursement is Problematic

    Tina, RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I began my very first job as a 16 year old high school student. Worked continuously through high school and nursing school. I worked as a RN for approx 5 years, most of that in hospitals. I was home...

  22. 2 weeks notice!!

  23. You might want to avoid this recruiting company

    Tina, RN replied to nomadcrna's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The reason OP cautioned against the recruiter was the rude email reply that was received, not specifically because of the way he/she was addressed. If the way you are treated by a recruiter doesn't...
