16 more school days and counting!!!

I wear scrubs because it's cheaper than my "real people" clothes & things come out of them (vomit, etc.) much easier than regular clothes!!

I'm so glad this bill passed! I was very pleased with my EC experience!! It was so convenient and I was able to work full-time while studying with them. Thanks for the update!!

Thank you so much!!!

What resources did you guys use to study? I am very interested in becoming certified!! Thank you in advance!!

31 days & counting when the kids get out!! We have a few professional development days after the kids get out, but hey that's ok by me.

That is fantastic!! Congratulations!!

My first 2 years I did not get one (was a LVN, no one in the district got a raise). My 3rd received one. My fourth year I received a stipend for completing my RN, but no raise.:) Received one my 5th & 6th year. Not based on anything, just whenever the districts decides to give raises.

I'm in my mid 40's & people still call me sweetie, honey, etc (even though they are younger than me). I don't mind. Being born & raised in the South, it is just second nature to some people.

I would love to get my Masters!! The program I considered was Cambridge College in Boston, but hubby says no more school. They offer a Masters of Education in School Nurse Education. The classes look very interesting, too. School Nurse Education | Cambridge College

If we have no bad weather make up days we get a 4 day weekend for Easter!!!:) Crossing my fingers!!

June is VERY busy for me!!! Canada (to see my grandmother), a cruise, a little bit of summer school, local hospital school nurse symposium, & attending the NASN conference in San Diego!!! July: another cruise. That's it so far!! My hubby & I don't have kids so we like to travel as much as possible.

15 school days & counting!!! It can't come quick enough!!

I have to stay until a designated time. My hours are 7:20 to 3:50. We are on contract so no hourly pay here.

Last day is 22nd Staff comes back 01/06 Kids come back 01/09 Can't wait!!!!

AMEN!!!!

On a personal note I love Halloween. On a professional level November 1-4 are the worst days ever!!!! Who is with me?

My first year as a school nurse I had a KG teacher call me saying she was sending someone. Teacher said that something was in her nose & I asked "Besides her finger" and she said yes. Child came in crying, looked in left nostril and there was something brown. We had wood chips on our playground & I thought for sure that is what it must be. I had child blow while I held the other nostril. The object was visible & I pulled it out. It was a flat rock. I asked her what happened & she said "somebody" put it in her nose. Turns out that "somebody" was her. I will never forget that child's name as long as I live. What is it with kids and their orphus's???

Never mind I found your information from a previous post!! Thank you!

Thank you for the information on Emory!! What kind of course work is expected? I will only be doing the wound care component too! I hope to start Emory in the near future! Thank you in advance!

Thank you for your insight!! It was very helpful!!
