I just found out a girl I graduated with from my ADN program will be in my BSN program! She is a hoot to be around, and I wish our class were in a classroom! She was the class president, and I was VP....
Local health dept. is probably the best route to go to start with. You can usually work your way up to a mgt. or a state public health position later if you
Plain ol' cold or allergies. LOL School nurses- we catch it all. Luckily, I've escaped most of the GI bug that's made its rounds. I did get it, but I took phenergan and immodium, then decided to try...
If they're not brain dead but have matter coming out, they're screwed regardless. The OP's SN is PICNICRN- PICU and NICU RN? If so, then there are the parents making those decisions. While I'm...
Zofran. :) My ob/gyn prescribed it for me when I was pregnant- I loved it. I wish they had the dissolving kind then. Just make sure you have good insurance coverage first! She didn't want to prescribe...
You know those annoying get to know you quizzes- let's do one for us! 1. How long have you been a school nurse? 2. How many students do you serve? 3. How many schools do you serve? 4. What age ranges...
Is it hereditary? My assumption (I KNOW what happens when I assume, but I still can't help it)- Mom has poor control of her diet, and either refuses to accept the dangers of obesity or just ignores...
I agree. Where I am, teens can go to the health dept for STD checks and birth control without parental notification or consent. A wonderful yet scary idea. ETA- I do feel teens have every right to be...
Wilmington is very nice! It's such a beautiful area. I'm not sure about the pay, but the cost of living is a little bit more there, just because of the
1- Welcome to our small world! 2- We had a child like that in one of our school districts. They finally had to make a CPS report, mother still failed to do anything, and the child went to a foster...
I still wear a lot of scrubs, but just because I have a lot, and they are comfortable. If I have a lot of meetings or will be in front of a class, I try to dress up and look nice. Otherwise my hair is...
:yeah: I'm excited, can you tell? It was in my office when I got here this morning. Found out the athletic trainer was asked to put it in my office if needed in the school or the gym (since we're in...
Prenatal, adult health, women's health, STD's, communicable disease, children's health, something I missed, or do you do it all? I work in Children's Health (school nurse). I'm amazed when I head over...
It depends. I've always noticed more opening on med/surg- was it because the med/surg unit on that hospital sucked, or because there were significantly more patients and therefore a higher need for...
When you call the supervisor, make sure to put it a good word for Jennifer. All too often people will complain about the bad ones (and boy, does she sound awful), but forget to tell the supervisors...
How much experience did you have when you began teaching? What was your background? What do you feel is the best way to enter education? Would you recommend starting out as a clinical instructor and...
It all depends on location. Do you know which are you are thinking about moving to? It's a great state- you can go from the mountains to the beach in a few
Crazy question, I know! When I lived in a town that was home to a large teaching hospital (the only hospital for 30 miles), the CNM's were not allowed to deliver. They saw patients in clinic and did...
