  2. A School Nurse's response to "chaos" in the classroom?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to droopy1592's topic in School

    I don't know that I would agree with this...particularly the "and shut up!" comment. To me that does not seem like being in control and maintaining a sense of calmness, but shows a feeling of out of...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to vashtee's topic in Camp

    Well, I just found out that I have been accepted to nursing school for January 2008...Yeah! I would much rather spend my first summer assisting an RN in a camp (school nursing is my future goal), and...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to amzyRN's topic in Operating Room

    SarasotaRN2b replied to phoenixfire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Being Cancelled

    SarasotaRN2b replied to rn undisclosed name's topic in General Nursing

    Living in Florida, especially during the summer, being called off is just a fact of life. I work on a telemetry unit and this weekend, our census topped off on Friday night and Saturday night at...

  8. Quick little rant about the tele room here.

    SarasotaRN2b replied to kcalohagirl's topic in Cardiac

    as a cardiac monitor tech, the answer is no...what if during the time you go into the patient's room to change this, another patient goes bad? who is going to watch the monitors then? also as a...

  10. How do you know when to retest?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to heedy11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think that personally for me that if I failed the NCLEX, I would invest the $50 (I believe that is the cost), to have my test analyzed to see my areas of weakness. I would also make sure to get a...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to picu75rn's topic in Pediatric

  13. Working as school nurse in the US

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Lia~PasteL's topic in School

    From looking at the other threads, I think that you would need some experience (at least a year or two), before your application would be really considered. I don't know if it is different in the...

  14. What are the requirements for a school nurse?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to NursePamela's topic in School

    Question: When it comes to experience before applying for a school nursing position, is pediatrics preferred over med/surg? To me, common sense says yes...but I was still curious.

  16. third shift job/hints

    SarasotaRN2b replied to carlarenee02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Floor nursing to ICU? or New grad to ICU?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to holdensjane's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital in which I work now requires a year of acute care nursing (i.e. med/surg/telemetry, etc) before working in units such as ICU and the ER. While there are some new grads that could jump...

  19. How many of you are getting your tuition paid by a hospital?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to j9nurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually once I start nursing school, my tuition will be covered by tuition reimbursement at the hospital. The only thing that I will be committed to is working with them one year post school...that...

  21. Phlebotomy while waiting to get into nursing school?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to ZoeK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Zoek, Go for it! I think you can get a lot out of it, and you can probably work it in while you go to school. I know that in the hospital I work at, there are many inpatient phlebotomist...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to stevesohiorn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  24. We dont have to go and review our pts chart the night before clinical...normal???

    SarasotaRN2b replied to student456's topic in General Nursing
