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 bag they recommend that I can order online? My agen...

Hi everyone! I've been an RN for a year now, and prior to nursing school I was a massage therapist. I went to school in, oh....2000-2001 for massage. In my state, at that time, there was no state regulation. I worked as a MT for a couple years and th...

ahahahahah! That's cute!

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 when they are falling asleep in class. They aren't g...

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 no one is up my butt hounding me all day like the...

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. We have over 500 kids in my school, and while th...

We have a no-nit policy as well. I checked 104 kids today, d/t a sibling set having them. I found ONE kid. Ugh. Anyway, I only check if there is suspicion of lice. The one I found, when mom came to pick her up, stood in the office CRYING and picking...

You have a Master's and you're going to be a school nurse?! Yikes. I don't want to be rude, but you are going to be making peanuts for your education!!! Anyway, I work PRN in the hospital along w/my school nurse job, BUT I had the hospital job first ...

haha! I wish!! Nope. I work 2 days a week at my PRN hospital job, and spend the rest of the summer with my littles. They go to school in the same district I work in, so we have the same days off :)

Not bleeding. Not out. Just loose. WHY do teachers send them to me for this?!?! I will NOT pull out teeth. Ick! What am I supposed to do about this?!?! Vent over. Hope everyone's back to school is going smoothly!

How on earth did you do that?! I have at least 20 kindy kids who I don't have records on, and that doesn't include the list of new students who AREN'T kindy that I don't have immunizations on! I sent my "nice letter" out on 8/22. Stuff is coming in a...

My school nursing job. My MIL who used to watch my kids, did a really horrible thing this summer and I won't let her baby sit anymore. Now I'm trying to find childcare that I can afford w/my low school nurse pay. This sucks

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 month ago. I don't know if/when she will see them ...

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 to monitor what words come out of her nasty mouth...

Just a lil' update on this :) I did apply to a home health position, I have not heard anything about it yet. I'm back full time at the school now (school went back in session 8/13). Annnddd....yesterday, I get an email that any employee of my school ...

Vaseline and Qtips here too. I can't believe they shell out for chapstick!

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 were at school. Then I could pay for after school ...

Before and after school care for 3 kids will run me $150/week!! I can't afford that! I put an add out on care.com and only had a couple people interested (probably b/c of the few hours that are split up to before and after school), and was supposed t...

So, I just typed out a whole long post and my lap top deleted it! UGH! Let's try this again.... I've been a nurse for almost 2 years. For the last 16mos I've been working in the hospital on a telemetry until. In March I dropped my status to PRN and a...

Thank you both so much for your input! Those are exactly the kinds of things I'm looking for. I didn't even think about the driving in the weather. I live in the 'burbs of Chicago, and we only have 2 seasons here. Winter, and construction But I'm us...

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 permanently.

"THIS is my competition?!?!" You will think that IN the nursing program, too. "And there's me, with the above experience but not the greatest GPA because my Husband and full time Job require so much from me that my studies have suffered, But I am a...

To spend an entire day doing nothing but starting IV's. Maybe in the cath lab? I don't know, but that would have really helped build confidence and skills.

My floor has identical twin nurses working on it. They are not allowed to work the same shift (i.e. days/nights)

haha, do you work in my hospital?!?! This has been going on in my unit for more then a year. And no one can figure out why the hospital can't keep staff....
