  1. Second guessing myself

    AdobeRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Your assessment was fine. You are going to run into parents like this - doesn't matter how an injury occurred/whose fault it was, the parent will request the school pay for whatever the medical cost...

    AdobeRN replied to hufflepuffnurse's topic in Private Duty

  4. New RN Questioning Leaving Hospital Setting

    AdobeRN replied to BabyTurtle2k11's topic in General Nursing

    Look up the local school districts in your area. Contact HR to see if they need substitute nurses and start there to see if you like it. Alot of times school nurse jobs are hard to come by - jobs...

  5. Pool Testing

    AdobeRN replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Just curious how do the parents feel about all of this testing? Is it a requirement for Face-to-Face learning? I am in Texas - we would probably have a civil war if this was required in schools,...

  6. Transition to school nursing questions

    AdobeRN replied to WonderousIvy's topic in School

    Start subbing to see if you actually like it - Sub jobs usually don't pay much but at least you can get a feel for the job. The district I work for will hire from the sub list before hiring someone...

    AdobeRN replied to AnaBanana.RN's topic in General Nursing

  9. Frustrated!!

    AdobeRN replied to cowboysandangels's topic in School

    We have also just changed our policy to follow the new CDC suggestions - from 14 day quarantine for close contacts to 10 days. Thankfully we are not doing the other half of the changes about testing...

  10. Covid Vaccine

    AdobeRN replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am not totally opposed to the vaccine but I certainly don't want to be first in line. There is a high chance of it being required when traveling to other countries that have had a high number of...

  11. Frustrated!!

    AdobeRN replied to cowboysandangels's topic in School

    I started with the 10+14 day thing for students at beginning of the year - then district started to get push back from everyone and we were then told if parent tells us that positive person is...

  12. New grad from online RN program with ZERO CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

    AdobeRN replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

  13. Need advice for school...

    AdobeRN replied to FLALemay234's topic in General Nursing

    Either one - I'd apply to both and go with whichever one accepts you. In my area the RN programs are so competitive. While the pre-reqs are pretty much the same for both the RN programs and for...

  14. Voluntary Post-Thanksgiving Quarantine?

    AdobeRN replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

  16. Wilderness Medicine

    AdobeRN replied to CamperNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any advice to contribute - just want to say that this would be so interesting as a job. I hike, camp and have taken the Wilderness First Responder course just for my own personal safety...

  17. Teachers retiring because of COVID

    AdobeRN replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    We have young staff - out of 75 staff members on my campus there are maybe 5 of us over the age of 50. Problem we are having is that a good number of people from the sub pool are older, retired...

  20. CDC Has Changed the "Close Contact" Definition

    AdobeRN replied to k1p1ssk's topic in School

    AdobeRN replied to schoolnursenewbie's topic in School

    AdobeRN replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School
