  1. Miralax & thickened liquids

    pistolchick posted a topic in Patient Medications

    I'm having a terrible time trying to mix up Miralax with thickened liquids (nectar). If I use pre-thickened liquids, the Miralax literally de-thickens it. If I make my own thickened liquids (with...

    pistolchick replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    I know I'm not the first to mention that it almost sounds like a possible "spectrum" issue. For the students I know who are on the spectrum and struggle with food aversions, no amount of "letting...

  9. UGHHHHH Need a change

    pistolchick replied to hbarlow's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like your circadian rhythms are seriously screwed up. Bodies are just not meant for night shift. I feel for you. However, I think 2 years of medical surgical is a GREAT place to start,...

  10. What is an "RN supervisor"???

    pistolchick replied to RNdynamic's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Agree with Farawyn. I worked as an LPN in LTC. The CNAs reported to me, I reported to the RN. The RN Supervisor is the "charge nurse" so to speak. IMHO, new grads being offered an RN supervisor...

  12. Previous Experience to be School Nurse?

    pistolchick replied to thefuture88's topic in School

    I'm sure these more seasoned veterans will reply with much more information than I could provide, but I'd be hesitant as a new grad to start in school nursing. For me, the most challenging part of...

  13. Thirsty?

    pistolchick replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    Actually, a psychologist recommended this to my husband for our son - she said her son had ADHD and she didn't want to put him on a stimulants, but a cup of coffee really helped him get through...

    I have a similar system! I told my son I heard rumors that the toothfairy was so sick and tired of getting her wings smashed under kids pillows, and that she really preferred you leave the tooth in...

  16. Ridiculous things. This is a new one one me.

    pistolchick replied to Cattz's topic in School

    I guess I should've kept reading before I posted my latest comment - the issue of cost has already been covered (and so have many other topics).

  17. Ridiculous things. This is a new one one me.

    pistolchick replied to Cattz's topic in School

    I am not arguing with your concern about administration times or frequency, but as an aside, I do have a student whose parents state that their son is helped TREMENDOUSLY more by the short acting...

  18. Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

    pistolchick replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    I had another job where "eating bon bons" was our code for doing nothing. Has this been true for y'all and other nursing jobs? After I left my previous clinic job, I sent a picture of myself to the...

    pistolchick replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    We have a few grade schoolers that have "watches" that act as phones and can only call one number - regardless of the "no phone" policy. I just had a kid tell me a few kids in his classroom have...

  23. Anyone ever have to address the "choking game"?

    pistolchick replied to Kittery's topic in School

    When I was a sixth grader, many moons ago, my class played a variation of this game. It was more of a "fainting" game than "choking" game - the person would bend at the waist so their head was low to...

  25. How do people feel about male nurses?

    pistolchick replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

    YES. I met a healthy young (25~) male nurse who had been SO over-utilized in lifting tasks that he had a permanent back injury. Please exercise caution and learn to say when you're hurting or
