    ro2878 replied to peaceful2100's topic in School

    if you make a game out of hearing and vision testing, preK kiddos typically cooperate. If students won’t raise a hand when hearing a tone, have them kick their foot, drop a block or ball into...

  2. inhaler use during covid

    ro2878 posted a topic in School

    We will not permit SVN txs when we reopen but what are you all doing for kiddos with inhalers? Inhaler with a spacer will be safest (and does give best delivery, regardless of age) but will you...

  3. Petty and not proud of it

    ro2878 replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    How about the new preK teacher who comes into my somewhat busy office yesterday with her laptop and says "Not sure if you can help me with this but you have been soooo helpful - can you show me how to...

  4. OTC Meds for School Staff

    ro2878 posted a topic in School

    Anybody have a “nice way” to inform staff at our back to school staff meeting next week that the nurse is no longer giving them OTC meds? In our district we have some nurses who believe it is part...

  5. OTC Meds for School Staff

    ro2878 replied to ro2878's topic in School

    Thanks all! Staff was receptive to the idea and I told them I will set up initial stock and then after that, they are on their own to replenish. I did think of the unlocked cabinet thing with...

    ro2878 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Another new diagnosis: suckitupitis = what the majority of the kiddos had this past Tuesday after returning from a 3 day weekend. Symptoms may include mild nasal congestion, a stomachache that does...

  8. ASU vs. GCU RN to BSN

    ro2878 posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Trying to decide and would appreciate comments on either program. Also, any advantage to GCU's eve cohort that meets one night/wk (4hrs) over the fully online program?

  10. C'Mon Now!

    ro2878 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Last day of school today: Early release with dismissal at 11:20 a.m. I am rushing around trying to find 8th grade parents still on campus after their little darlings graduated this morning. Even...

    LOL!! Oh, it happened - cross my heart and hope to die, or stick a screwdriver in my eye!!! Besides, who could even make that

  12. C'Mon Now!

    ro2878 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Claims was screwing something into an overhead cabinet. Even if your hand holding the screwdriver slipped, I would think you would simply scratch your other hand. How could that have such a force that...

    ro2878 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Parent comes into my office yesterday. Wanted to see if I could take care of her. Hand is wrapped in a towel, which she unwraps to show me the screwdriver impaled all the way through and out of the...

  14. Ice Packs = Candy

    ro2878 replied to Skips's topic in School

    Kiddos at my school are "ice junkies" - they would shoot themselves up with ice if they could! LOL I try to discourage ice when it really is not necessary except for my littles/preK (they can do no...

  16. Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

    ro2878 replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    5th grader walks in and states that he broke his pelvis. (Same kiddo who has eaten leaves to make himself throw up, told his teacher he was blind and could not see, smears blood all over his face when...

    ro2878 replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I wouldn't worry too much about the "infamous list of instructors." Someone sent a list to me back when I started in February 2015 and none of the instructors I have had have been on that list. Every...

    CONGRATS rob!!! Nice to see the BSN after your name. I bet it feels weird to be done and to not be constantly thinking about what is

    ro2878 replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yup - the DQs are long for Patho but they are not hard and it is nice that there is only one DQ due per week. I, too, found the DQs to be more enjoyable because you are using your "nursing thinking"...

    ro2878 replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sorry for your pain. I have to finish patho and then have one more class until the dreaded capstone! Even though I have yet to experience capstone what this instructor is saying seems to contradict...
