  4. Anorexia and other eating disorders

    Tina, RN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Tina, RN replied to peaceful2100's topic in School

    I have done elementary and high school. I will never, ever go back to elementary! I love little ones, but I don't want to be responsible for hundreds of them each day. Too much neediness, and the...

  14. Large ladies! Best scrubs?

    Tina, RN replied to thf6v's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I need to find scrub pants that have a higher rise. I *hate* low rise pants!!! My belly is too big, and they always end up underneath it. But, most pants now seem to have that lower rise. Any...

    Tina, RN replied to Abbr's topic in Nursing Career

    Knowing what I know now, I would have done something else. OT or SLP. Maybe even PA. Or maybe a vet. I am very happy with my nursing career now, but it took a long time to get to this point. I would...

  19. Random Thoughts: School Nurses

    Tina, RN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    No way, no how, would I clean poop off of a shoe. It would be bagged and a call would be made to a parent for replacement shoes. Then, I'd have a discussion with the person that thought I should be...

  20. How often did YOU see the school nurse?

    Tina, RN replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    Tina, RN replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

  22. Cough drops

    Tina, RN replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    This is awesome! How did the staff react?? At the elementary schools I have worked in, the staff's heads would have exploded if I started refusing to deal with those things. Heaven forbid that the...

    Tina, RN replied to the nurse who lived's topic in General Nursing
