  4. Conflicted about job, help!

    Tina, RN replied to Curious1alwys's topic in School

    Go for the school nurse job!!! I think you will do great. It will be a Godsend to you, in terms of being on a schedule with your own kids. Yes, it can be a very frustrating job. But, I think as far as...

  5. Do you ever miss the hospital?

    Tina, RN replied to NurseEllie13's topic in School

    Yes, I do. I'll actually get the urge to place an IV, or hang blood, etc. Very, very odd, I know! LOL I also miss the pay... Then, I'll remember the stress, the crying, the exhaustion, and the sore...

  6. How busy is your office?

    Tina, RN replied to scrubsrn24's topic in School

    I like this. We have recently started logging in visits on the computer, instead of writing everything on our log sheet. It makes it way easier to check how many times "Suzy" has been in the Health...

  7. Blame the nurse!

    Tina, RN replied to Tina, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I used that title because the doctor points a finger directly at the nurse (Is quoted as saying that a nurse should have stayed with the couple, and that the nurse was likely nervous about being in...

  8. How busy is your office?

    Tina, RN replied to scrubsrn24's topic in School

    I walked into a very similar situation! My school went through 3 or 4 school nurses within 2 years before I was hired. I couldn't believe my luck, when I got the job. But, I quickly realized that none...

  9. New to this.. Feeling like maybe I made a mistake

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

    Hang in there! It's only been 4 weeks. Being sick and working until 6 a couple times a week aren't helping matters... I'd hold off on covering the after school programs, until you feel more...

  10. Microwaves

    Tina, RN replied to GrapeRN's topic in School

    I don't. I'd love to, since it's sometimes hard to even get to the faculty room to heat up my lunch. But, if I had one, I have a feeling that it would quickly become "everyone's"

    Tina, RN replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Sheesh. That guy *REALLY* doesn't want to miss his 3:00 pain

  12. First week as a school nurse- advice needed

    Tina, RN replied to GrapeRN's topic in School

    I don't think you did anything wrong! IMO, mom feels guilty that nobody was reachable by phone the first time you called. She is taking it out on you! Also, buckle fractures are so sneaky! When my...

  13. Do You Like Being A School Nurse?

    Tina, RN replied to Jules0612's topic in School

    I can absolutely relate to everything you mentioned. Sometimes, it is very hard to keep reminding myself of how lucky I was to land this job. LOL Best of luck to

  14. That's a new request...

    Tina, RN replied to Cackalacky's topic in School

    So, what did you end up doing?? Was the student sufficiently disinfected, to satisfy the teacher?? Did she run one of those germ lights over him??

  15. It's getting to the end of the school year.....

    Tina, RN replied to SchoolRNAmy's topic in School

    OMG, "therapeutic boredom" is absolutely perfect!! I'm totally stealing that.

  16. Has anyone ever caught you in the act??

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

    LOL!! I do the exact same thing, right down to the threat of a

  17. Do You Like Being A School Nurse?

    Tina, RN replied to Jules0612's topic in School

    LOVE it! Yes, I gripe and vent about it sometimes. But, ultimately, it's awesome. I was a SAHM for years, until my youngest started full day school. Then I was very lucky to fall into this job. My...

  18. Blame the nurse!

    Tina, RN replied to Tina, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Gotcha.

  19. Blame the nurse!

    Tina, RN replied to Tina, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Both the doctor and the baby's father said that the nurse should have been there and wasn't. Knowing how bedside nursing is nowadays, the nurse was probably stretched very thin, and simply couldn't...

  20. When attending a traditional BSN program, are students told they're better than ADNs?

    Tina, RN replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Wow, what an angry and insulting post. This person has a total of 3 posts here at AN. Two out of 3 involve tearing BSN nurses apart. And the third is just a rude, sarcastic comment. Very

  21. When attending a traditional BSN program, are students told they're better than ADNs?

    Tina, RN replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Nope. But like it or not, if you want to be promoted to a higher level job, that doesn't include wiping butts, you'll often need that

    True...

  23. Nurse for the whole district?

    Tina, RN posted a topic in School

    Hi all! I am currently the nurse for an elementary school, of approx 380 students. I have been here 3 years. My district is huge! Between our 2 high schools alone, I believe there are nearly 4000...

  24. When attending a traditional BSN program, are students told they're better than ADNs?

    Tina, RN replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't comment on these ADN vs BSN threads, and usually don't even read them. They are always filled with such negativity. Based upon this title, it sounded like a more interesting discussion. But,...

  25. Nurse for the whole district?

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

    Thanks for the comments! The position is listed as "11 month". Has anyone heard of this for a school nurse? I'm thinking that maybe the nurse is required to cover summer school... Right now I am a 10...
