  4. CPS/Child Abuse Protocol

    mslove replied to mslove's topic in School

    In the past - Teachers have never seemed to report. They always call me or the counselor to "deal with it" basically after the student confides something in them. The AP told the medical director she...

  5. YOUR Childhood School Nurse memories

    mslove replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Elementay school - early-mid 90s, I loved the nurse's office. She always had the radio on softly and was momish, and just made me feel better. I loved laying there and listening to her bustle around....

  10. I should have become a teacher!!!!

    mslove replied to NayD_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Teaching jobs are even harder to find...that was my first career choice. I live in western NY state and there is NOTHING for teachers. 75% of my college friends (we went to the #1 teacher's college in...

  11. Which profession is higher?Nurse or Midwife?

    mslove replied to agrj's topic in General Nursing

    there are terrible bosses/supervisors in every job, place, and field. The best advice is just to do what they want, or look for a different position so that she won't be your boss anymore. She does...

    mslove replied to mslove's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks for your response. I went to a couple local stores the ones there were packaged and they wouldn't let me open them. I don't know anyone with either; a friend of mine has a littman but not...

  16. Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

    mslove replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    whenever I go to my doctor's office I see the NP. I rarely see the MD anymore. I think they play a good role as a doctor substitute in the PCP or office

  17. Enough with culture already!!

    mslove replied to AppalachianRNstudent's topic in General Students

    Well I agree with you. And as someone who has lived abroad (spent much of my teen years living in Asia, and I also have a Chinese stepmother now, who just came over to America this past May, and a 7...

  18. What reason is used for call offs!

    mslove replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    yea i would understand if every other day they were using that excuse (and if they really WERE having them that often then I think they need to start on the road to disability!) That would be...

  19. Giving notice on my shift??

    mslove replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on the new job! I think that is fine. Do you contractually have to give a certain amount of notice? Here you don't have to technically give any; they can fire you at any time but you can quit...

  20. What reason is used for call offs!

    mslove replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I think the migraine is a legitimate excuse. I've never had one but they can be extremely debilitating. It's not the same as calling off because you have to pick someone up from the airport. It's a...

  21. Nursing or Medicine???

    mslove replied to PallaviMuraleedharan's topic in General Students

  25. Cost of medical insurance!

    mslove replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in School

    that is crazy! Medical insurance through the schools here (in western NY state) is very cheap. My friend who works for a school was paying $20/month before she got married and now that she's married...
