  1. Help me choose a shift please! Time sensitive..

    guest464345 replied to starmickey03's topic in General Nursing

    Corrections sometimes does weird repeating 2- or 4-week rotating shift patterns... Like I remember paper mill workers doing when I was a kid. Often six 12s and an 8 every two weeks, to add up to 80...

  2. Help me choose a shift please! Time sensitive..

    guest464345 replied to starmickey03's topic in General Nursing

    Epi for sure! Much more likely to have flexibility for appointments, sick kid, making quick personal phone calls, etc. In my previous epi job I even worked at home 1-2

  3. Nosebleeds

    guest464345 replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Jeez, I'm glad I'm not on middle school teacher forums, they must be harsh! ? This little distraction aside, I am often struck by how friendly and supportive the AN school nurse forum is. You just...

  4. Pertussis Parent Notification

    guest464345 replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    In my state, an outbreak of pertussis is 3 epi-linked (same classroom/area, or some known connection) confirmed cases within 21 days. @UrbanHealthRN is right, you have to check with Public Health or...

  5. Nosebleeds

    guest464345 replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    It's a hard job to be a teacher - still, that's quite a lot of anger about one nosebleed. We all need to vent sometimes. But life is short, and to me it's not worth walking around mad about stuff like...

  6. Nosebleeds

    guest464345 replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    @Middle School Math Teacher: I can definitely understand that it's worrisome to see blood coming out of anyone's face. My school's teachers flip out about literally anything with any amount of blood...

  7. Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    guest464345 replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this too! As a matter of fact I'm considering changing jobs right now, and I just went to renew my ACLS. I went to the same training center I used before, the instructor remembered me (and also...

  8. Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    guest464345 replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    It's a fine line between trying to offer practical advice to someone in a marginalized group, acknowledging the reality of an unfair world, vs seeming to uncritically accept the unfairness or even...

  9. Blood Disorder and Severe Bruising

    guest464345 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    Ohhhhhh boy. Hello, CPS, it's lifelearningrn again.... A parent of a kid with hemophilia is going to know the name of it by the time they're in school. This sounds very fishy. Truly hope the kiddo is...

  10. Vent Sesh

    guest464345 replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    Here is another example of a nurse (me) being "too calm": I am called away from a phone call to the girls' bathroom. In the time it takes me to walk there - I do not hang up and sprint, so it takes...

  11. A problem that is also a solution

    guest464345 posted a topic in School

    I was reading @BiscuitRN and @nursex23's posts today about venting, or being on the edge of losing it.... And thought you might like to know that I've reached a new low (or maybe high). Today I...

  12. A problem that is also a solution

    guest464345 replied to guest464345's topic in School

    Out here in the Southwest.... My state is, ummmmm, 50th ranked in k-12 education I

  13. A problem that is also a solution

    guest464345 replied to guest464345's topic in School

    It's not even 100% certain, but any change would occur at the end of this school year. In our school district, small schools don't generally have nurses at all. Even if the job were still there for...

  14. Snack Time

    guest464345 replied to WineRN's topic in School

    Snacks (provided by health office) were a huge thing when I started, and I have scaled that WAY back. We have free breakfast and lunch for every single kid in the school; breakfast is at 7:30 and...

  15. MA for a boss?

    guest464345 replied to guest464345's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I asked that exact question in the interview (well, I didn't ask if they got dinged), and I did not get a clear answer. She said something very vague and clearly was not going to elaborate, which...

  16. New School Nurse looking for liability advice

    guest464345 replied to duluthRN223's topic in School

    I second Old Dude and the others above....I've had kids like this before. I work in a public school program for high school kids with emotional disabilities, and I see a ton of kids with trauma...

  17. New Normal Temp

    guest464345 replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    Me too! I thought my thermometer had gotten dodgy, and I had to try two other ones before I concluded that 97.9 is simply where it's at

  18. When do I tell them?

    guest464345 replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    Check your contract or the district's HR policy. In my district we get $200 if we give notice by Feb 15th, to encourage us to notify them early so they can post jobs in March. Otherwise new...

  19. Used my scary nurse voice

    guest464345 posted a topic in School

    You all gave me great advice about my recent problem managing a scene....well, we had another altercation today (!). Somehow in the aftermath, the instigator waiting for discipline in the security...

  20. NCSN

    guest464345 replied to MuscleNurse's topic in School

    I took it (way back in November -why the heck does it take 8 weeks for them to grade a computer-based multiple choice test??).... Just found out I passed! I also thought it was harder than NCLEX, even...

  21. I wrote up a surgeon and looking for advice

    guest464345 replied to strive's topic in Operating Room

    Just wanted to say, as a current RN and a former hospital language interpreter.... THANK YOU for protecting your patients by insisting on their right to language access. It is not a doctor's right to...

    guest464345 replied to Bulldogs's topic in School

    hahahaha....personally, I wish I would've paid more attention in our shoe cleaning and repair clinicals

  24. Should I tell my manager I'm in therapy?

    guest464345 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    You received helpful advice above! I would add this: my instinct is to be very conservative about disclosing any kind of mental health or medical information to a supervisor - unless you're asking...

  25. School Nurse: Managing a scene/coworkers

    guest464345 posted a topic in School

    Looking for advice. I had a HS student who was assaulted by another another kid - punched hard several times in the face. Face is a mess, blood all over, kid is crying and freaked out. Airway OK, no...
