    KKEGS replied to SF BSN2b's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    KKEGS replied to apal's topic in Agency Nurses

  11. How much orientation??

    KKEGS replied to RNBSNon12/13/14's topic in School

    None. Literally none. I had other district nurses I could contact with questions but I seriously just had to figure it out for myself. I think that's pretty much how it works in school nursing. No...

    KKEGS replied to Volleygram's topic in School

    KKEGS replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    I've only had 3 nursing jobs (home care, NICU and school nursing) but of those 3 home care was my worst because the pay was so awful. It was my first job out of nursing school and I worked night...

  17. CPS call?

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

    We had a similar issue and, because there was medical neglect, did file a report with CPS. That particular county said it didn't fit the criteria of an investigation by CPS but we could take steps...

  19. School nurse perks :)

    KKEGS replied to villageRN's topic in School
