  1. Hypoglycemia

    Wave Watcher replied to JenniferG rN's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I am a school nurse and work with diabetics all day. If I get a low reading I always recheck. I have one student who will function pretty good with a BS of 35. He is very hyper and tends not to...

  2. Am I studying too much, I know it sounds crazy!

    Wave Watcher replied to Jamiek33's topic in General Students

    I would suggest taking frequent breaks during your study time. You will retain information better and not get so burnt out. Good

  3. I feel like the biggest dummy

    Wave Watcher replied to kringkring5144's topic in General Students

    I went to nursing school with a student who failed out her first semester. Not because she was stupid or wasn't studying....it was because she was studying wrong. The way she was studying did not work...

  4. help, bedside nursing not for me?

    Wave Watcher replied to nurse.j.'s topic in Health, Stress Management

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

  6. Do you ever miss the hospital?

    Wave Watcher replied to NurseEllie13's topic in School

    Crying must be a common factor. I think the last 2 months I worked the hospital floor I found myself outside in the parking garage crying...wishing I would come down with an intestinal super bug that...

  7. Paper or computer cumulative health records?

    Wave Watcher replied to 100kids's topic in School

  12. Parents that are nurses

    Wave Watcher replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in School

  14. Liability issues

    Wave Watcher replied to feelix's topic in School

    It doesn't matter what your principal says about who you treat and when you treat. If you are working outside your hours and IF it's a liability then YOU will be the one to answer....not your...

  15. Someone's got to love their job.. help

    Wave Watcher replied to nichefinder's topic in General Nursing

    When I graduated nursing school I went straight into floor nursing on an Ortho/Neuro floor. I was there for 10 months and hated it. I have also done prison nursing....loved it but ended up moving so...

  16. check for poopy pants???

    Wave Watcher replied to Ilovegiraffes's topic in School

    Smelling for poopy pants is not a nursing issue for me. If you have a nose that works....you are just as qualified. I can't believe they sent a child down to you for that. I'm sure you have better...

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

    Wave Watcher replied to Rn,Ame's topic in School

    Wave Watcher replied to Cackalacky's topic in School

    Well that was a "lousey". Bada-boom! I'm here all night! Or until my Tylenol PM kicks in and I start talking crazy on the threads. In that case, someone cut me off! Off topic: I was just now looking...

  19. Hearing screening

    Wave Watcher replied to RNlove17's topic in School

    We always re-screen 2 weeks later. It could be that the child's ear(s) had wax or fluid build up that was preventing from hearing properly. We give it a two week window. If we retest and they fail...

    Wave Watcher replied to Cackalacky's topic in School

  21. Bedbugs?

    Wave Watcher replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Bedbugs are a pest issue not a nursing issue. Our school has a pest policy. Only if a bedbug is found inside a classroom will the room be treated with any type of

  23. Lesson Learned

    Wave Watcher replied to RNCourt's topic in School

  24. Lunch vent

    Wave Watcher replied to tictac's topic in School

  25. RN License Endorsement= Confusion!

    Wave Watcher replied to stephdRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    The Prevention of Medication course you can take online. It won't take you 2 hrs. When I applied for my FL RN lic. it was pretty quick and it didn't take but 2 or 3 weeks to get my license. Since that...
