    Morganalefey posted a topic in Home Health

    Hi Everyone! I"m new to HH nursing, it's been approximately 2mos. So far, I love it! The autonomy, the flexibility, the patients, the money....not so much the OAIS, lol. Anyway, does someone have a...

    Morganalefey replied to SassyTachyRN's topic in School

    Maybe this isn't the right attitude, but when I get a sleepy kid, I call the parent and make it their problem. I work in a school that is PreK-4th grade. In my opinion, they aren't being productive...

  5. Do you feel that School Nurses are respected in the school system???

    Morganalefey replied to Biglos94's topic in School

    Mostly what Flare said. They don't really notice me much until they need me. BUT, they do include me in stuff and bring me treats, etc (mostly, sometimes I get forgotten). But I really kinda like that...

    Morganalefey replied to Stitchy's mom's topic in School

    What specifically is it you are confused about? I see my students, I document, I cya, and that is my priority. The immunizations, etc, are 2nd hat to that. I will get that done, when I get that done....

    Morganalefey replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

  9. Any School Nurses out there who travel abroad every yr during the summer?

    Morganalefey replied to bella201's topic in School

  10. "My tooth is loose"

    Morganalefey posted a topic in School

    Morganalefey posted a topic in School

    Morganalefey replied to Morganalefey's topic in School

    You are very right!!! He has been behind me in ALL of this, for the record. He called her and told her she could not babysit anymore and why. She hasn't seen my kids since she did what she did over a...

  14. I think I'm going to have to quit

    Morganalefey replied to Morganalefey's topic in School

    I wish I could cut her out completely. But, that is my husband's mother, and he still loves her, despite the disgusting things she has done. She will only see them when there are LOTS of people around...

  17. I think I'm going to have to quit

    Morganalefey replied to Morganalefey's topic in School

    I make $720/week before taxes. $150/week = $600/month. That's a lot of $$$! Especially since I only need about 2hrs/day. I'm thinking about going into home health. I could start my day after the kids...

    Morganalefey replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    I have an ASN, and graduated in 2011. At my very first Fundamentals class, there were 19 of us. 4 of us graduated on time. Most went on and graduated eventually. A few dropped/failed out
