  1. Guessing game!

    pistolchick replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    What is the tampon

  2. Your dream health suite

    pistolchick replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    THIS. THIS.

  3. Pertussis

    pistolchick replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    Yes, agreed. It's a little tricky with my being a substitute - a lot of the parents don't even realize there is a sub nurse, I'm not here every day, and before I came the office staff was handling...

  4. The After School Thread

    pistolchick replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    That's what I'm hearing. My husband is taking my son to see it this afternoon as a father-son thing. I'm excited for him. He doesn't know

  5. Pertussis

    pistolchick replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    UPDATE: We now have had another suspected case in a student, and were told by the parents the test came back "inconclusive" - I didn't talk to the parent so I couldn't find out what test they did....

  6. Not nursing, but..

    pistolchick replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    No, she didn't. I hadn't even considered the possibility until it was brought up on here. Ugh! I've been using social media for almost 10 years, and so far, no one has ever publicly called me out -...

  7. Gifts from students

    pistolchick replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    Actually, I scratched two today and won $2. Woohoo! Still going to work tomorrow, despite my winnings.

  8. Not nursing, but..

    pistolchick replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    The idea of that really disgusts me. That is so disrespectful. I have one of those personalities that needs to be "liked" - so the idea of people trash talking me, especially publicly, is...

  9. Not nursing, but..

    pistolchick replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    Egads! Facebook is no place for this kind of drama! That's why I asked y'all. You know, I usually am very gentle and kind with other people's children - even when I should probably be sticking my...

  10. Gifts from students

    pistolchick replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    I am always tempted to do baked goods - such a holiday tradition (and I love to bake) but I do always worry about how they're received. Not everybody eats that stuff, like you

  11. Gifts from students

    pistolchick replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    This is what I'm thinking. I do appreciate the idea, and knowing that it is well

  12. Not nursing, but..

    pistolchick replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    Thanks for the replies, friends. I feel reassured. I will talk to the mother the next time I see her (outside of

  13. Two more hours! Two more hours!

    pistolchick replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    I'm EST - school ends @ 2:25, and I usually stick around until the buses leave

  14. Two more hours! Two more hours!

    pistolchick posted a topic in School

    Today has been a *SLOW* clinic day. I'm not complaining, but as a substitute, there isn't much else for me to keep busy with, so today is absolutely d r a g g i n g. I had a very strong "don't...

  15. Students without clothing

    pistolchick replied to NurseKitKat's topic in School

    So, as a substitute, I've walked into a situation where there is a particular student that sometimes has soiling and the staff (either the old nurse or office staff) have always helped her clean it...

  16. Two more hours! Two more hours!

    pistolchick replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    I am fortunate that there are two very kind office associates here to talk to. I wish I could help with some of what they have to do, but it seems like one of those things where it would take longer...

  17. Friday....Are you there???

    pistolchick replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Thanks to YouTube, this is all available at a moment's

  18. Pertussis

    pistolchick replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    Interesting update to this topic - said staff person is back in the office today, updating me that both of her children who tested positive for pertussis had vaccines within the last 4 years. The...

  19. C/O chest pain

    pistolchick replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

    I wish students would believe me! I feel like I am seeing 90% stomachaches and everyone except the kinders refuses to believe that going to the bathroom may help. I want to get myself a t-shirt that...

  20. Friday....Are you there???

    pistolchick replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Pilli multigemini. My husband gets that too, and they drive him bananas with the itching, so I'm allowed to pluck those. But then I start to go after his forehead blackheads, and he gets tired of...

  21. The After School Thread

    pistolchick replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Walk the dog, cook dinner, and possibly pass out on the couch (it happened yesterday...) When I accepted this job as a substitute school nurse, I had no idea the toll it would take on me while I am...

  22. Cheat sheet for office visits

    pistolchick posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Hi, I just moved here from LTC/Geriatric specialty and this forum is soooooo much nicer!! :) (If you ever worked in LTC, you know exactly what I mean!) This is a completely COMPLETELY new kind of...

  23. Want to hear your pet peeves in LTC nursing

    pistolchick replied to mondkmondk's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't know this for certain, but I've seen neb treatments ordered q4h while awake - so if they're ordered around the clock, if makes me wonder if this isn't a standard of care for the type/severity...

  24. Weather-related vent

    pistolchick posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just need to vent. I will begin with a disclaimer: I am very aware of what a "cake" nursing job I have with regard to hours, holidays and weather. I worked in a hospital for years and we trudged...

  25. Weather-related vent

    pistolchick replied to pistolchick's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure how I'm being passive aggressive. In fact, unless venting anonymously on the 'net counts as PA behavior, I know I'm not. It seems to me, if I were to mention this, I'd start getting sent...
