    MotherRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Interesting article. Especially interesting for me because I am working as a school nurse in an alternative program for middle and high school students. So many of these kids come from rough...

  4. How Do You Handle the Student Who Wants Last Year's School Nurse Back?

    MotherRN posted a topic in School

    Hi! In general, the kids are working with me well in the Health Office. I am having trouble with one of my diabetic kids. I think he might have a crush on the former nurse. He's in high school and she...

  5. How Do You Handle the Student Who Wants Last Year's School Nurse Back?

    MotherRN replied to MotherRN's topic in School

    Update: Things have calmed down with this student. I haven't had any trouble in two weeks. By sticking to the plan, he knows what is expected and seems to have come around. He still doesn't like me...

  6. How Do You Handle the Student Who Wants Last Year's School Nurse Back?

    MotherRN replied to MotherRN's topic in School

    Thank you all for the advice. I have managed to come to terms with my own concerns over this kid. My husband (long time manager) told me to do my job, even if it means the end of my job. I appreciated...

  8. How Do You Handle the Student Who Wants Last Year's School Nurse Back?

    MotherRN replied to MotherRN's topic in School

    Because I basically spoke my mind and told the assistant principal I did not agree, I did not feel supported, I felt if it were the other kid, they would be supporting me, I told them I felt it was a...

  9. How Do You Handle the Student Who Wants Last Year's School Nurse Back?

    MotherRN replied to MotherRN's topic in School

    Suffered a set back today. Discovered the administration is not going to do the right thing. They were doing lip service to it for the benefit of the clinical student who was with us that day and...

  10. How Do You Handle the Student Who Wants Last Year's School Nurse Back?

    MotherRN replied to MotherRN's topic in School

    Thank you for the replies. I've had him upfront with his meds in the principal's office (my office is isolated in the back of the school). Today he pulled a stunt. His blood sugar was below 70 and he...

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

    MotherRN replied to bella201's topic in School

    I'm sorry for the slow reply. I have been so very busy with my new job and RN-BSN program. I have not been on All Nurses at all! Hopefully, you will get this reply. Basically, I graduated nursing...

  13. New RN how to 'manage' CNAs

    MotherRN replied to Da-ved's topic in First Year After Licensure

    One suggestion that I feel is really worthwhile is if everyone takes 15 minutes around the clock on a rotational basis with the very confused, very difficult dementia patients who wants to get up and...

  14. New RN how to 'manage' CNAs

    MotherRN replied to Da-ved's topic in First Year After Licensure

    When it is abused, which is probably the case at this location since management brought it up at all, there are no CNA's left on the floor to answer call bells because they are all teamed up behind...

  15. Why do you visit allnurses.com?

    MotherRN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    At first, because I couldn't find a job. Next, to vent after I finally did find a job. Afterwards, to share my crushing disappointment when the job ended abruptly. During the time between jobs, to...

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

    MotherRN replied to bella201's topic in School

    I think with a 'savings jar' for the yearly dream trip, you probably could travel-especially if you aren't paying for multiple people to go, like I would have to with a family. I bet you could get it...

  17. Cry baby CNAs

    MotherRN replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    With the patient ratios these days, I don't think there are many lazy RN's out there. If one is actually found sitting, it maybe her only break in

  18. Cry baby CNAs

    MotherRN replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While I have worked with good CNA's ( and I salute you!), I have mostly worked with the type that 'hide'. At one facility, they would literally sneak out to the parking lot! And, when I caught one,...

  19. Did being unattractive hurt your career?

    MotherRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Nursing Career

    As for me... I have extremely thin hair (karma for when I stated in my youth, "There's nothing worse than a bald woman!") I am graying at the temples (but, I've earned it, so it stays!) I have a...

  20. Did being unattractive hurt your career?

    MotherRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Nursing Career

    And... "Smile and they will wonder what you have been up to..." "Look mean and they will wonder what you might do next (possibly to them, since you hold their care in your hands)..." Depending on the...

  21. Did being unattractive hurt your career?

    MotherRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Nursing Career

    Or just stop, look them dead in the eye, and say, "Thanks. You just made my day!" without a smile, but continue the eye contact until it becomes uncomfortable. Then, turn and walk out. Sure, you'll...

    MotherRN replied to whealer's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting! I didn't know this was being done. Is this like case

  25. Its official! I am leaving nursing.........

    MotherRN replied to Kashia's topic in General Nursing

    I think the problem is the disconnect between all the corporate BS and what REALLY goes on with floor nursing. While the management is busy constructing customer service-oriented utopian policies,...
