  1. Help: My Nursing Instructor is a Bully!

    I agree! Now that I am practicing, I have a lot of respect for the woman- sure, I think she targeted certain people, and I hated her classes. But she's smart, an educator at heart (I hated getting in...
  2. pregnant and exposed to all communicable diseases

    Talk to your doctor, occupational health, and your murse mgr. MRSA and VRE should be alright. Let your bosses known straight up- I cannot accept these patients. Your coworkers should help you out,...
  3. Fyi

    I see this is something you're *very* passionate about. If you feel THIS passionate about it, start emailing and calling your state legislators and your school board. A lot. Or you can raise the...
  4. Fyi

    Because not every school has a school nurse, and a lot of us have 2-3 schools, so we're not at our school all the
  5. Your patient fell? You need to be disciplined!

    It's not about you or making your life hell- it's about money. Bed alarms? On my husbands floor, the beds have alarms. Not the type in the nursing home that get pinned to the patient- if there is a...
  6. administration of sodium bicarb

    We also had almost no problems with either drug. The only time we had problems with Mag was if it was due to PTL and then we just wanted them out of the ER before delivering! ETA- I don't ever...
  7. Roanoke Rapids, NC

    I agree! I lived a little over an hour away. A lot of the trauma pts went to Virginia or University Health Systems in Greenville NC. Great area though, few hours from the beach, coastal VA, or
  8. EtOH Levels...

    Neither did ours. Just bragging rights that we got close enough (I won once
  9. EtOH Levels...

    Wow!!! I don't think I ever saw it that high! LOL And bless that little 18 yo's heart! I hope he learned his
  10. Help Me Please

    My thinking (if I were interviewing you) would be this: Your were asked to leave over one error. Either your former boss is a doofus, or there is something else going on. I'd wonder what else happened...
  11. $200! How are you resourceful?

    I'm telling ya- the rice is awesome (and cheap)! I too buy my own snacks (yeah Wal-mart)! The person here before me had bought name brand advil and tylenol- I bought generic. Wal-mart brand pads. I...
  12. A funny story.

    Omg!
  13. Teachers can "Pinch Hit" for Nurses?

    I wanted to add- I'm not pulling that out of my hiney. This is what I learned recently at a school nurse conference, and that was according to our state school nurse
  14. Karma Rocks

    Awesome!
  15. Change room, staff room, gym, locker room?

    My most recent job had a mens and womens locker room with a bathroom, and an eating area with microwave, sink, tv and fridge, along with tables (doubled as our big meeting room). Older job (much...
  16. RN to bsn online

    I agree with queenjean. Look into state colleges. There are plenty of online RN to BSN programs, and you see a lot advertised online, but check out the state level first. It's significantly cheaper...
  17. Teachers can "Pinch Hit" for Nurses?

    NOT A ONE! Your license is NOT on the line if you can properly document and train these people. If you train someone to check a blood glucose on a child, it's 30 and the child is unconscious and they...
  18. *Weird* Patient Allergies

    Oxygen. LOL An EMS patient said this one time- it irritated his nose (when the doofus bringing you to the hospital is giving 8lpm via NC, of course it is going to irritate your
  19. Lesson Plans

    I recently did some nutrition education for the high school students at one of the schools I serve. I did a rough lesson plan, objectives, etc. We (the group of school nurses I work with) are trying...
  20. Male Scrubs/Many Pockets/Light Fabric?

    My husband wears the Cherokee workwear pants. They have elastic waist and a TON of pockets. He HAS to have pockets. LOL The downside? They don't have a lot of color selection, so he has to wear
  21. very excited- $50/hr

    I wouldn't do per diem straight out of nursing school either. Going full time nursing is critical to learning the necessary skills in order to succeed when you're fresh out of school. No nursing...
  22. I passed with 75, although I swore I had failed. What made my anxiety worse was waiting to hear the news. It wasn't posted right away. I took mine on Friday, I got a letter the following
  23. Is there such thing as Radiologic Nurse?

    Yes! Cath lab is a perfect example. Telemetry or other critical needs patients need procedures or x-rays as well. By having a nurse in radiology to assist in sedation or to continue to care for the...
  24. Does anyone take Topamax for migraines?

    Bwhahahaha! Yes, the need for tampax usually does go along with a lot of my headaches.
