  1. Anyone from CT?

    Hi! I'm looking into applying to WGU, but was wondering if there was anyone else in CT going through their RN-MSN program? Anyone know if the hospitals (that are starting to require BSNs) view online BSN programs differently than that of a "traditio...
  2. Most Frustrating Thing ?

  3. Immunization reporting

    Here in CT, the report includes a date... ie: "Students enrolled as of November 12". If I have students withdraw before then, I don't include them. :)
  4. Free stuff

    GoosbyLPN... I go through pgschoolprograms.com. You can order for your school.
  5. I'm trying to sing this song today.... just to get through. Only 2 1/2 more days after today.... I'm so done. I'm fried. So looking forward to a break this summer.
  6. I want to be a school nurse

    I would email the nurses... and check in with PSA. The job market is really tough, so being a little more aggressive and creative in your approach is probably a good thing. Good luck!!

  8. New to this.. Feeling like maybe I made a mistake

    I hope things get better for you. I will tell you that I felt sick my first year of school nursing. It was tough, but eventually, my immune system kicked into gear. I'm now in my 3rd year of school nursing, and (knock on wood) haven't been sick this ...
  9. Free stuff

    P&G offers the free puberty stuff, which I get from them every year for health class. The kids seem to like it. I'd be interested to hear about other freebies.
  10. That's a new request...

    Oh good grief! What a headache! I hate dealing with the lice thing.... not the actual bugs, but the complete hysteria they cause....
  11. That's a new request...

    LOL...too funny. It's friday, and the first week of March is almost over.
  12. Worst part of being a school nurse

    So sorry fetch. You are starting what needs to be done to help the child. Hugs....
  13. Racial Refusals In Nursing

    I think I'm a dreamer.... I just don't see how there is room in this world for racism. Why can't we all just enjoy the differences in people, and embrace something bigger than us. Race has nothing to do with the level of care one receives, or one giv...
  14. Wanna know how I know that? I had a child come in my office at the end of recess, complaining that she didn't have any energy. I asked her why she waited until the end of recess to come and see me. She said she didn't know. I informed her that if she...

  18. Goodwin College, East Hartford CT Questions

    I am a Goodwin Grad, working in a school as a RN. This is my third year here, and this was my first RN job out of school. I think the program has been improved. Jan Costello takes the program very seriously, and it is very competitive to get in. I ha...
  19. Respect....or the lack thereof...(RANT ALERT!)

    Oh... I can't even imagine the rage.... lol. I'm ready to scream over here too. We just had February break (of course, it was too short), and I am counting the days til summer (67 more days!!!!!!!)
  20. Concrete Thinking

    LOL... awesome!
  21. School nursing does not mean nursing school

    Exactly!
  22. Screening High School Students

    I agree with JenElizabethRN in regards to pulling down 10 at a time.... I work in a smaller school, Pre k -8, I usually pull down 2-3 students at a time, explain how it's going to work. I'll do hearing first, test all three, then start the vision. As...
  23. School Nurses: Who Works a Second Job?

    I was working for one of the big home health care agencies (no need to name names), but they closed down the department I was working for. So... I contracted independently with my client, to visit once a week ... which I was doing through the agency....
  24. 31 more school days

    Happy Friday, friends.... Geez... 31 more school days.... but who's counting. I've had a day where I could literally scream................................................. Ugh.... thank goodness for weekends.
  25. Melodramatic, much?
