  4. Today's funny

    Wave Watcher replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Wave Watcher replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in School

  10. My kid is THAT kid

    Wave Watcher replied to odaat's topic in School

    I can look at it both ways because a student does not make it down the clinic without passing it through a teacher.....where is the common sense judgement of our staff? Some days I swear they don't...

  11. Withdrawing from a nursing course how could this affect my future

    Wave Watcher replied to lovely1529's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I only have two suggestions: 1. Stop believing you are stupid, stop saying it, stop typing it, stop thinking it. You are sabotaging your own success and using it as an excuse. 2. Focus on the here...

    Wave Watcher replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in General Nursing

    I had both my kiddos before I was 21yrs old. My husband (their dad) and I are now empty nesters and we are 44yrs old. LOVE our time together without the kids and we are still young and healthy. If I...

  15. Babysiting the "problem children"

    Wave Watcher replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    I have never understood why teachers/staff want to send behavioral issues to the clinic. Makes no sense. So, you want a perfectly healthy kid to sit in my clinic next to a kid vomiting, running a...

    Wave Watcher replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

  19. I need some help with an appeal letter.

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

    I have to agree with other posters. Just re-apply like the rest of the new applicants. At least they will know you and if you have a good GPA already with them then they will keep that in mind also....

  20. Cough drops

    Wave Watcher replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    We do not give out cough drops. I see them as a choking hazard. If you are coughing...inhaling quickly then there is a good chance the cough drop is going down the wrong way and getting lodged. No...

  21. Anywhere in NY pay school nurses well?

    Wave Watcher replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    I'm from the South and many districts put nurses on the teacher pay scale so you could start out making $40,000+. Still not great

  25. Ethical dilemma

    Wave Watcher replied to hotflashion's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts also. People gave their opinions/advise and the OP is defending her reasons for staying. So stay. Good
