Ginger LOL! I'm a ginger, too!! This was my first year as school nurse. I'm in a high school. Emergencies: 2 SVT flares that wouldn't get better even with intervention that typically works for the students ( one had to have ablation) 2 lethargy/loss ...

rationale: Confidentiality. They can't argue that. I'd tell my principal and he can discuss at staff meetings before the school year starts.

School nurses, I have been a bit of a lurker, first year school nurse after 15 years in clinics---I won't be returning to school next year. I was offered a job as health science instructor at the high school I graduated from, less than a 1/2 mile fr...

I just accepted a position as Health Science Instructor also. I took it in high school and loved it. I've been working clinic and school nursing since 1999. I am super excited. SirDearis99, do you have any other websites/information. It is only the s...

OMG GAG!! I had a girl that said she coughed up something bloody and took a picture of it. I was NOT looking at it. I do not do well with phlem. I told her to keep it and show her parents.

I know that as a nurse, most days go by that we feel unappreciated anyway. But as a school nurse, it feels like I am at the most unappreciated job EVER. I don't count on anything, but there are 1600 kids in this school---close to 100 teachers. This y...

volunTOLD. HAHAH. love it! Alanaransley, I'm headed out to the Woodlands for an Ironman race this year!

Agreed Farawyn! The kids have 19 more days of school. We have to stay 4 workdays after the kids are done. It seems like a full moon EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Yep! We all have to try something once. I learn something new everyday! And you will KNOW when to call 911! Trust your instincts! Let us know how it goes! Good luck!!!!

T-Bird78, I worked pretty much all internal medicine and family practice before I changed to a high school ( 9-12). The first month, I had 1600 students to myself. They did finally hire a second nurse, but we are in separate offices 2 buildings apart...

Jlha, I had a major giggle with that LOL!!!! I tend to put on my mean face early in the morning, and sometimes the kids are coming to say hello!!! I can't help myself!

CAdreamer, Checking in you. How are you doing?

I live in South Mississippi---about 45 minutes from Mobile. They did mention rolling over, but I still have to reenter everything into the 3.0.

Well I got mine---not admitted due to CAS application not being verified. I had everything submitted, had to make corrections and emails to CAS and it was never reverified. Maybe the new CAS 3.0 will be better.

I applied for 2015 Summer. Nursing CAS has all my transcripts. So I guess it's a wait and see now?!

I've been a clinic RN for 3.5 years. Before that, I was an LPN. I am still in a clinic, and looking to expand my MIND. My plan was to suffer through 1 year of med-surg, then do travel nursing. Who knows? I may LOVE Med Surg. The trouble is, no one wa...

No I hear ya....just saw that second sentence.

Hell I wouldn't qualify anyway. It wasn't boring at first. But I started feeling more like a " message taker" ya know.

It is sad. I really could never do it unless I needed to. But there are days I see people coming in that are perfectly able to work and don't. But I know that's a whole other story. And no, popcorn not needed. I shouldn't be chastised in anyway silly...

Looking back, I wish I would have went straight into Med-Surg right out of school. I've been in internal medicine/family practice for 14 years. I think you should take it. Be aware though, that clinic nursing has gone to what I like to call " being ...

Hi yall! I am currently looking into changing over to school nursing. I have been an internal med RN for over 13 years. Question: How much time out of the day are you on the phone? I spend the majority of my day triaging on phone and trying to room ...
