    I tend to put these "cleanse" diets in the pseudoscience

    Struggling with poor pay and a love for School Nursing

    lifelearningrn replied to ANL6822's topic in School

    At the district I am in the pay scale is the same as teachers. It is less than nurses salary, but I work in a school so I'm okay with a teachers salary (since we have similar educational requirements...

    Right? I bet the antivaxers would be first in line!

    We had classrooms of socked feet from wet shoes today too! The kids were so excited to play in the snow.. the teachers let them all do recess before the morning bell even

    Verification of malpractice insurance by the employer

    lifelearningrn replied to nurselove757's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Buy your own insurance. It's a bit over $100 year and gives you peace of mind. Whatever malpractice insurance the employer purchases, is looking after THEM, not you. They will throw you under the bus...

    Munchausen on the increase?

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

    The more things they can find wrong with their children, the higher the chance of getting a SSI check for them. It's sad, but I'm seeing this happen quite a

    BSN is a joke

    lifelearningrn replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there will ever be a force to BSN- at worst ADN will be eliminated and current ADNs will be grandfathered.. but I highly doubt that will ever happen either. There are way too many ADNs...

    BSN is a joke

    lifelearningrn replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    I never meant to imply that you were a poseur or that you haven't learned these skills throughout your career. My sister has been an ADN for 3 decades and will always run circles around me. However,...

    BSN is a joke

    Sure you can learn this outside of a school setting, but you're going to have a hard time proving you have this knowledge/skill set without a

    BSN is a joke

    lifelearningrn replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Being able to analyze, do and write research is an important aspect of having an education. Evidence based practice starts with the ability to read peer reviewed journals and analyze the evidence....

    Throwing up

    I have a couple of these!

    Throwing up

    lifelearningrn replied to Amethya's topic in School

    That is insane. Why have a nurse? Man, if I sent kids home every time they threw up after breakfast or lunch I'd be sending multiple kids home a day. One puke, no fever and no other symptoms...

    Quitting nursing school?

    lifelearningrn replied to MSTLUV's topic in General Students

    ^^^^ This I knew I never wanted to work in a hospital.. I worked in skilled, ltc and hospice until I could get my foot in the door where I wanted, and that is school nursing. There is a LOT you can...

    Quitting nursing school?

    I felt this way throughout nursing school. It was a hard 2 years!! Don't give up. Just keep giving your all, you'll find your

    Husband is not ready for me to go to nursing school!!

    lifelearningrn replied to hamolady's topic in General Students

    He doesn't want to grow up and be a PARENT. This IS a control issue, and an issue of his not wanting to cook or clean while you're living your

    I can't call all parents!!!

    lifelearningrn replied to nicunursem10's topic in School

    I feel your pain. I'm willing to fall in the sword if a parent of a 'ran into the wall' kid gets mad I didn't call.. be Izs not all clinic visits constitute a call. If it's a true injury I'll call, if...

    parents won't pick up sick kid!

    lifelearningrn replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    Because kids with fevers are sick, and possibly contagious. Sick and contagious kids should be at home getting TLC from a parent, not at school making others

    I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    lifelearningrn replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    Sorry your first clinical wasn't up to expectations. It's actually a GOOD thing to follow a CNA for a while, changing bed sheets and bed baths really are skills that get overlooked often in nursing...

    Faking on vision screens

    lifelearningrn replied to unexpectedllama's topic in School

    I've had a couple fake the screening because they want to go on the field trip to get glasses. One little girl still insisted, after the full eval (where she was diagnosed with perfect vision) she...

    If your school isn't all free/reduced meals...

    lifelearningrn replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    This annoys me too. I think the only difference is that they do this to all and any kid that doesn't put the fruit/veg on their plate. The rules the cafeterias have to follow now are crazy. School...

    If your school isn't all free/reduced meals...

    lifelearningrn replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Definitely a media thing. Over the past few years there have been lots people go to the press with incidents of their children being embarrassed because the lunch lady threw their lunch away because...

    If your school isn't all free/reduced meals...

    lifelearningrn replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    The parents should be the ones held accountable, not the children. I see how much food is thrown away in the school cafeteria, serving a kid a hot lunch will not be a loss to the school. I think...

    If your school isn't all free/reduced meals...

    lifelearningrn replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Probably refusal to release records/report cards, similar to when they owe money for other reasons? Parents do need to take responsibility, for sure, but at the same time, it's embarrassing for kids...

    If your school isn't all free/reduced meals...

    lifelearningrn replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    The solution is to work out a plan to pay back the negative balance, but to allow the child a regular lunch in the meantime. Essentially, making the issue between the school and the parents, not the...
