    KKEGS replied to CampNurse10's topic in School

    I am in my second year of school nursing but am done at the end of this year. I am going back to my first love, NICU, as an agency RN. I am glad I tried school nursing but I miss the intensity of...

  6. School Nurse Involvment in IEP and 504 Process

    KKEGS replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Yes it does. Spring Break starts tomorrow and when we come back I have 10 weeks left. And then I'm finished with my school nurse career. I haven't announced it because I didn't want to make a thing...

  19. Uncooperative Diabetic Question

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Our orders specifically say to dose off of the Dexcom so I can't really do anything about that. I, like many people, don't do well with confrontation and dad is a large, loud guy. He starts yelling...
