    Lice! "no nit policy" do you still have one?

    100kids replied to RN4STUDENTS's topic in School

    Going Directly Into School Nursing?

    100kids replied to Butterfly_Effect's topic in School

    Meds locked up?

    100kids replied to Kittery's topic in School

    Should I go back to school for MSN?

    100kids replied to Kschaefer90's topic in School

    I personally waited until I knew what I wanted to do with my Masters. That helped me decide if it was the right route. Since I got certified as a School Nurse Teacher and started teaching Health...

    Orientation and other new school nurse questions!

    Most Frustrating Thing ?

    100kids replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    It's kind of like childbirth. You forget how crazy it is so you actually come back and do it again. In my mind I know it's going to be crazy but I'm always shocked at how crazy those first few days...

    Confidence Boost Needed!

    100kids replied to Bookworm12314's topic in School

    Sub as often as you can, especially in the school you are hoping to get a job in. Also hook up with some School Nurses who would consider mentoring you. You will need this as a new School

    Wrapping Injuries

    100kids replied to nurseshajwani's topic in School

    I should add that I NEVER rewrap something that a student brings in wrapped without a note from a Dr. If it didn't happen at school and I have no documentation from a physician then I consider that...
