  1. contracts

    Tina, RN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I wish I could add something, but our "contract" isn't very helpful. One thing I saw in another district's contract, and thought it was fantastic, was this: If a student entering the district has any...

  2. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    Tina, RN replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I never, ever buy into the hype the media feeds us about health issues... But, this is the first time that I am truly concerned. I agree with the title of this thread: This just got very

  3. Is A&P 1 the most difficult class in nursing?

    Tina, RN replied to NewKillerStar's topic in General Students

    IMO, no way was A&P the most difficult. I think microbiology and pharmacology were much worse. And that's not even getting into the actual nursing classes...

  4. Well, I didn't expect THAT answer...

    Tina, RN replied to jadelpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Back when I was working on the floor, something hilarious happened... An older man was admitted, and his adult son was with him. We were getting the man settled in his room, when the adult son took me...

  5. Do I neeed to take refresher course or NCLEX after a 6 years long break?

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

    I took a RN refresher after I was out of the workforce with my kids. I did mine through South Dakota State University (I am in NY). It was excellent, IMO. There was an online portion, and then you did...

  6. Does anyone have carpeting in their health office/clinic?

    Tina, RN replied to Massmagic's topic in School

    Carpeting in the Health Office would be a disaster! I'm glad that you'll get rid of at least half of

  7. What Do You Wear To Work?

    Tina, RN replied to Jules0612's topic in School

    I wear scrubs, but "nicer" ones: Bootcut pants, fitted (not boxy) tops. And my Danskos! :) I am in an elementary school, and I don't want pee, poop, or vomit on my good clothes. Scrubs are easier to...

  8. Proper undergarments under WHITE PANTS

    Tina, RN replied to Purple Lady's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    How... why... What if...?? File that under one of the worst ideas, ever.

  9. The angry parent

    Tina, RN replied to RNlove17's topic in School

    I have a feeling dad's issue was with mom, more than you. I have had divorced parents try and drag me into their drama before. It's not pleasant. Based upon your assessment and mom's reaction, I think...

  10. Bug bites...seriously??

    Tina, RN replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    Wow! I'm going to try that. With myself, not the kids... I can just hear everyone screaming, "The nurse told the kids to spit on themselves!"

  11. Bug bites...seriously??

    Tina, RN replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    Ugh. I hear you. I am in an elementary school, and I have been getting roughly 10 kids a day (many of those multiple times a day!) complaining about bug bites. It is totally out of control. I don't...

  12. TEACHERS>>>UMPH>>I"M DONE

    Tina, RN replied to mycsm's topic in School

    Exactly. If you walked into his classroom and started helping yourself to supplies, there would be a HUUUGE issue, no doubt. Your office is like your classroom! Summer can't start soon enough for me....

    Tina, RN replied to mycsm's topic in School

    OMG,

  14. Letter of personal reference

    Tina, RN posted a topic in School

    Hi everyone! We're at the home stretch, WOOOOO! :) This is a silly idea, and I will NOT be doing it. But I thought it would be a fun discussion... I am applying for a job with a different school...

  15. Letter of personal reference

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

    Thanks, everyone! I sent all of my paperwork in today, but did not include the little girl's journal entry. I realized that the paperwork is actually going to a "middle-man" of sorts, not directly to...

    Tina, RN replied to mycsm's topic in School

    Ugh. Now that is

  17. Letter of personal reference

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

    You guys think I should?! I'd love to have the guts to do it. LOL I'm going to seriously consider it.

  18. Letter of personal reference

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

    That's kind of what I was thinking! Not to use it as one of the "actual" ones, but to add it to the back. I would think that someone in education would enjoy it. But with my luck, I'd get the old...

  19. Given a warning

    Tina, RN replied to canche's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OMG, that would drive me

  20. Chronic "accidents"

    Tina, RN replied to scrubsrn24's topic in School

    Ugh. I had 5 students poop their pants today, kindergarten and first graders. Please, Summer.

  21. Junior High opinions

    Tina, RN posted a topic in School

    Hello everyone! I am currently the school nurse at a small elementary school. Changes are coming, and there is a chance that I will end up in a large junior high instead. I am so sad, I really love...

  22. Junior High opinions

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

    I am revisiting this thread, because the possibility is presenting itself again. LOL Thanks again for all the

  23. Why do parents get mad when you send their kids home???

    Tina, RN replied to NurseEllie13's topic in School

    WTH?? That is absolutely insane. It reminds me a little bit of when we were having a "lockdown drill" at school. You know: Everyone stay put, lock the doors, stay away from doors/windows, be quiet,...

  24. What did you get for nurses week?

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

    WTH?????

  25. What did you get for nurses week?

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

    My husband sent me flowers at work, and I got a bouquet from my school. I also got flowers from 2 students. My health aide made me chocolate Oreo truffles. Oh. My. Goodness.... YUM!
