  2. Your Specialty & Why

    Wave Watcher replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Nursing

    I am a school nurse...4 yrs. Why? Because I like to create miracles with tongue depressors and cotton balls. My patients are my biggest fans though small in size. I can wear no makeup and look like...

  3. condom catheters

    Wave Watcher replied to 84RN's topic in General Nursing

    You might as well just blow that thing up and make a balloon monkey out of it. Don't like them, never have. :-) I wanted to be part of the solution but I'm of no use. Sorry. Just letting you...

  4. Please stop! Little things that are just bad practice.

    Wave Watcher replied to JBudd's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Take'n it old school!

  5. Classroom parties

    Wave Watcher replied to GatezRN's topic in School

    We also are not a peanut free school. The only time I am called to a classroom about parties/snacks is if there is a peanut allergy or my diabetic is eating. Otherwise, I don't get involved. I'm not a...

  6. Meds locked up?

    Wave Watcher replied to 100kids's topic in School

    I do NOT lock up my epi, inhalers or diastat. These are emergency meds and I do not want to be fumbling for keys or be away from my clinic and a teacher/staff member not be able to get into it. Time...

  7. Am I the only one

    Wave Watcher replied to abc123RN's topic in School

    Can you call the prescribing physician and talk with them? Sounds like you are doing all you can as a school nurse. If we force anything then isn't considered assault/battery? I had a child that was...

  8. What is relational ethics exactly?

    Wave Watcher replied to Tammy90's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I like pancakes. Sorry, I can't think of anything to add. Already took my Tylenol PM. I will revisit this question in the morning. Esme12 great job! You took all the fancy words and broke it down...

  9. How do you get results without being rude?

    Wave Watcher replied to lisaogden6's topic in General Nursing

  10. Capstone project on congenital hypothyroidism

    Wave Watcher replied to RNIZZY14's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Don1984 is right. You should do research first and then decide on what you would like to write about. If you can come up with some thesis statements then I'm sure people will be happy to help you if...

  11. If someone is caught plagiarizing, should they be failed on the spot or get a zero

    Wave Watcher replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    In my college plagiarism is reason for dismissal. Period. You do your own work and you take credit for your own work. There is no way this person did not know it was against policy and unethical....

  12. Cell Phones

    Wave Watcher replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    If they have an iphone tell them to use the app "find my phone" and they can go hunt it down themselves. It's not your problem...the sick/injured kids are your problem. Some parents amaze me. I work...

  13. Annual School Open House

    Wave Watcher replied to Massmagic's topic in School

    I think it would be a good opportunity to have policies such as medication administration or have any required health forms available for parents to fill out on their children. I have never attended...

    Wave Watcher replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Wave Watcher replied to shandsburnRN-CRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Ok, so this is about 4 years late BUT I was reading threads in the burn nurse section and happened across yours back in 2007 saying it was your last week (in burns) and you were heading off to CRNA...

  18. 4.0 in nursing school?

    Wave Watcher replied to RubySlippers:)'s topic in General Students

    I am in an RN-BSN online program (I already have my ASN). I have 2 semesters left. I have a 4.0 average. I have never been an A student. I believe the only reason I can maintain my average is because...

  20. Mitrofanoffs

    Wave Watcher replied to Vtachy1's topic in School

    I took care of a 2nd grader. She only needed supervision to cath and was a very brave girl. :-) Although, she dealt with a lot of UTI's and sometimes she could not drain completely due to a lot of...

  21. Should I go back to school for MSN?

    Wave Watcher replied to Kschaefer90's topic in School

    No, we do not have a teacher's union. 2 years ago we were given the same requirements as teachers for CEU's and working teacher staff days. We are required 12 CEU hrs that are to be completed on our...

  22. Most Frustrating Thing ?

    Wave Watcher replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    My job is to keep kids healthy and in school. Major frustration: I make a nursing judgement to keep a child in school because they are FINE and a teacher goes behind my back and calls the parents to...

  23. Goodby for now

    Wave Watcher replied to PrayeRNurse's topic in School

    WOW!!!! That just made me want to punch someone! In their case.....they don't need to waste the money on a school nurse. They need to save the money they would spend on a licensed nurse and be...

  24. Too much stuff behind ID badge!!

    Wave Watcher replied to NurseEric81's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes! I have ID badge (2), Keys (6), Emergency code sheet and it really makes my neck start to hurt. Not to mention I sound like a prison guard walking down the hallway with my keys rattling!
