  1. Nurses Day...are you forgotten ?

    Supernrse01 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I was not forgotten... I think this may be the most recognized I have ever been on Nurse's Day, in all my years as a nurse! Our PTO gave me a $25 gift card for a nice place to eat. My Assistant...

  5. Free Samples?

    Supernrse01 posted a topic in School

    I am wondering if any of you receive samples from companies? Things like sanitary pads, tampons, soaps, etc... If so, where do they come from and how did you make contact with them. Most places I have...

  6. Pulling Teeth

    Supernrse01 replied to lovepink's topic in School

    I do not pull teeth. If the tooth is loose enough, I will allow the student to do some wiggling but I won't pull it. I don't even pull my own children's teeth. That's Daddy's job

    One of our elementary schools does a Fitness Fun Friday once every 2-3 months. Our next one is coming up in March and I am doing a Smart Nutrition booth. I had originally thought I would do some sort...

  11. Need your help/suggestions!

    Supernrse01 replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    That's a neat idea. Thinking maybe I can modify that by having all the foods mixed up and having the students pack the healthy lunch! Good interactive activity. Thanks for putting that out there

  12. I got the job!!!

    Supernrse01 replied to mc3's topic in School

    I have a flip book with basic protocols to follow for many different situations. I think we all feel that way at times, it's normal. Just remember that you have the knowledge tucked away somewhere and...

  13. Did I cause my patient to die faster?

    Supernrse01 replied to lou_tango's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, you did nothing wrong. If that had been my family member, I would have wanted you to turn them to keep them clean and comfortable. While turning, as everyone else has also pointed out,...

  14. Experienced nurses: teach us your time management skills

    Supernrse01 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with both posters... it will get better and faster with time. When I worked in the hospital, I woudl try and get everything done in one room before I went on to the next. Sometimes that isn't...

    Supernrse01 replied to CharlotteDarcy's topic in General Students

  16. Swine Flu downturn

    Supernrse01 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I figure after Christmas break... the pigs will start flying again :0) We have slowed down quite a bit here, but I don't think it's gone. I think the regular Flu will peak and brink along another...

    Supernrse01 replied to mc3's topic in School

    I just started as a school nurse in August of this year. I had interviews with the superindent and his assistant. We had more of a conversation than an interview. We discussed things like how I would...

  18. Are "real" nurses as mean as my future instructors?

    Supernrse01 replied to Dakovich's topic in General Nursing

    You will come to love most of your instructors. They will become a great support system. In my nursing school, the instructors were tough throughout but were more so before they got to know us. In the...

    Supernrse01 replied to Zookeeper3's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing. Isn't awesome how God's timing works... not only for the patient and his wife but also for you. Your story helps me to remember the most important thing about being a nurse, the...

    Supernrse01 replied to nygirl1986's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It will get better, PROMISE. I was a nervous wreck whe I first started on a Telemetry unit as a new RN. I even threw away a box of MSO4 and didn't even realize it. That one had me worked up for days....

    Supernrse01 replied to bandaider's topic in School

  22. texting at work

    Supernrse01 replied to questionsforall's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Really, OhBoy123, you wouldn't survive? I text at work but I don't work in a hospital setting. I work in a school clinic, where I don't have patients unless they come to me. That being said, I don't...

  25. Strabismus Referral?

    Supernrse01 replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    LOL... that's true and I hadn't thought of that. I have already made the referral and I spoke with student's mom this morning. Said she hasn't even noticed his eye which is
