    I just want to add, that sucks big time! LOL I had several friends who did the sign on bonus there, and I called about it and didn't qualify since I did the ADN route. Same skills, but...
  2. A little help from the school nurses??

    Depends on why signs your check! I work for public health- I make just as much as I did in the hospital setting. My husband works ICU and makes just as much as I do. I do work summers though. I'm...

  5. School Nurse wants to be a Teacher...how?

    Just an idea- what about health occupations? It's an older crowd (high school), but then you get to use nursing and
  6. Vent- I am NOT the cafeteria!

    The girl that was here before- love her. But she was much more motherly than I am. I don't sugarcoat a lot of things, and the teachers and a lot of students respect that. Kids would come to her...
  7. Vent- I am NOT the cafeteria!

    We take the crackers from our salads when we go out to eat.
  8. Vent- I am NOT the cafeteria!

    I still have students coming to me for food because the nurse before me gave out snacks. He comes strutting into my office DEMANDING food. This is why I almost didn't post this. I did think about...

    Hopefully App will bring some more programs down here once their program grows some more. They have had the RN-BSN program in Hickory for a
  11. going from school nursing to hospital HELP!!!!

    Glad you're not leaving school nurses! Just a warning- bedside nurses have NO IDEA what school nurses do. I caught so much heck when I left the ER for the school. They really just have lice and...
  12. Thanks! I am praying at this point she has a history of the disease. I'm going to call her down first thing tomorrow and we'll call the health dept together. They'll probably have her come in and have...
  13. I had a student come to me today with a rash that started one day ago. Started on the trunk and was now spreading to his arms and legs. One looked like a blister, but it was just above his butt, and I...
  14. Just a vent

    At a recent school nurse conference- someone reported the same problem. Another nurse has a system- you have to see the nurse before you sign out sick. Period, or you don't get to sign out. However,...
  15. No She/he Did Not!!!

    A new one: Oh no that paramedic didn't poke the bullet hole in the chest of my DEAD trauma patient (who is now part of a crime scene and that's EVIDENCE you're poking)! I smacked his hand and told him...
  16. No She/he Did Not!!!

    I am glad to see this thread still going. LOL I can't believe I posted on the first page of this 34 page
  17. HIPAA says I shouldn't tell the prenatal clinic who the patient is. I should be able to just ask about it and not give away enough information about who it is. I have 8 pregnant at my high school, so...
  18. going from school nursing to hospital HELP!!!!

    If the hospital is big enough, hopefully they have something set up as a refresher for nurses that have been out of bedside for a while. It happens a LOT. People go straight out of nursing school into...
  19. NC Nurse Salary

    If there is a pay difference between ADN and BSN it isn't a big one so long as you're talking about bedside nursing. BSN nurses are more likely to get admin/mgt jobs though (just because of the...
  20. Scheduled Closings and Lunchbreaks?

    I am supposed to get an hour for lunch. Clearly, that doesn't happen unless school is out. I work for public health, not the LEA though. Our work day is supposed to be 8-5 with one hr. lunch. I try to...
  21. Do you disclose a positive urine HCG?

    I agree. What if she had a tumor that was causing the hcg to be produced? What if it were linked to her primary complaint and needed further intervention? ETA- If they ask if their test results were...
  22. Online MPH programs

    UNC Chapel Hill (NC) has a great public health program, but I do not know if it is online or
  23. NC Nurse Salary

    It depends on location and facility. I took a $3/hr pay cut when moving across the state. I make just as much now working for local govt. My husband works ICU and makes as much as I

  25. Question for rural community school nurses?

    Start gathering data. I don't know what you're having to track and everything right now. We track how many kids we see, what we see them for, and a ton of other stuff. The data can PROVE to your...
