  1. Getting fired by a patient/ family member

    AdobeRN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I totally get this. I was "fired" a couple of times when I worked in the hospital - first time I felt so bad, huge blow to my ego, like I had done something wrong when in reality there was nothing...

  2. ADN or BSN?

    AdobeRN replied to Unsuregirl101's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure how the programs are in your area but where I live all the programs are so competitive - doesn't matter if its ADN or BSN. I'd apply to all and go with whoever admits you and if you...

    AdobeRN replied to guest83140's topic in School

    AdobeRN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    My best friend and I attended the Telluride Bluegrass Festival a few years ago, lucky to get tickets with camping at Warner Field. We left kids and husbands at home.....we had so much fun, met so...

    AdobeRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    My clinic phone, all the phones in front office and our conference room (a total of 6 phones) were the only ones with the capability to call long distance for the longest time. I was so happy when...

  6. Other than Nursing, what other passions/hobbies do you like?

    AdobeRN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Hiking, camping, backpacking are my thing - would love to travel more but still assisting kids with getting thru college with least debt as possible - gotta a few more summers of sleeping in a tent...

  7. How many jobs have you had in your career?

    AdobeRN replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto.....I feel the same way. Too old for all that nonsense

  9. Dealing with other staff

    AdobeRN replied to Nurselinz's topic in School

    Covid protocols - I would refer to your admin team; when in doubt or if getting push back from the staff I pull the AP or Principal in. We have very specific Covid protocols to follow. All...

  10. how did you know nursing was for you?

    AdobeRN replied to mangogreentea's topic in General Students

    Nursing was something I was always interested in but I wouldn't call it "my passion". Life got in my way and I didn't return to college until I was in my late 30's and at that time I needed a job....

  11. ADN vs BSN salary

    AdobeRN replied to MRaza's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No difference when I worked in hospital either. ADN or BSN start pay was the same. The hospital I worked at did give us $1 more/hour if you were certified in your

  12. Help Type 1 diabetic and lunch

    AdobeRN replied to peaceful2100's topic in School

    I have a kinder that doesn't always eat everything -I will check BG before lunch and dose insulin after she has eaten. If she is buying her lunch (only buys on pizza day once a week so makes it easy...

  13. Do school nurses ever give narcs?

    AdobeRN replied to MTRNlove's topic in School

    I am in elementary - Like others I give controlled ADHD meds daily. Narcotics - rare if any, I don't ever remember giving any in my 10+ years at this level. I tell parents if kiddos still need...

  14. If your school asked you, would you admin COVID vax on campus

    AdobeRN replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I would consider it but only if extra compensation. Too many issues may arise that I don't want to be responsible for. Now if my district wanted to do something like team up with our Fire DP...

  15. Opening Texas

    AdobeRN replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I am hoping all the district Covid protocals/policies including mask wearing remains the same until we get out in May. Seems to me it would just be easier not to change anything, wait it out and see...

  16. Staying or Going?

    AdobeRN replied to BooBooCrew's topic in School

    I'll be back - here until I retire in 10-15 years ? I feel it will be better next year......at least I hope

  17. Rock Star Kindergarten Teacher- A great lesson in effective seating charts.

    AdobeRN replied to Cattz's topic in School

    I think it is based on guidelines by State of Texas (TEAS) though really not sure??? But it is our district policy - parents don't care for the policy but it's a rule they got to put up with if they...

  18. Rock Star Kindergarten Teacher- A great lesson in effective seating charts.

    AdobeRN replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Our campus has done basically the same - although at K-2 level doesn't really matter since if one is positive in class they all will be quarantined, but with grades 3-5 this strategy has really helped...

  19. How Long Do You Expect To Be a Nurse?

    AdobeRN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    My plan is 13 more years - puts me at a young age of 65 ? but I am the type that can't stand idle time of being at home, so I imagine I will continue to work until I can't. I am school nurse, really...

  20. Home Health Nursing and Covid - better or worse?

    AdobeRN replied to Peachpit's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I work PRN for a HH agency - been with one family for 7+ years now. I am not afraid to go into their home - probably safer there than my regular job as a school nurse. The parents of my patient...

    AdobeRN replied to BHS Nurse's topic in School

    In Texas - I am on Teachers contract (188 days) - salary, benefits, timeoff etc are the same for me as the teachers. We get 10 days per school year for personal leave time - the days rollover to next...

  22. Staff Vaccines

    AdobeRN replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    They are lucky to have you attempting to coordinate it all. We are on our own in my district. Why can't these teachers do some of their own leg work? Takes a few minutes to look up Vaccine Hubs...

    AdobeRN replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

  24. Required to do free visit??

    AdobeRN replied to Stef_nurse's topic in Home Health

    Doesn't sound right. Same as poster above - I would not agree to another meet and greet unless there is compensation. I do HH on the side. My agency does pay for Meet/Greet - if it is truly...
