  1. Student Growth Objectives

    Stitchy's mom posted a topic in School

    Okay, REALLY! As a nurse I have to do these things. Ummmm, yeah, how am I going to do these? Student Growth Objectives (SGO) are things that you want the students to do, kinda like care plans, but...

  2. Cliques in Nursing

    Stitchy's mom replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I was a GN (yup, that long ago ) I worked on a floor exactly like that. I didn't know very much to say the least, I was a new graduate, honestly, they don't know a lot, but I digress. I would...

  3. Do you get recognized at Christmas with a special card or gift...?

    Stitchy's mom replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

    The teachers (for the most part), kids (for the most part) and parents (for the most part) are super where I am. Administration...not so much. I'm probably only going to get a "We'll miss you." on...

  4. The Commuter(s), Any and All RN's What's the real deal?

    Stitchy's mom replied to cee cee g's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    About a million years ago when I took my board, (we had paper and pencil, fill in the circles) we had our testing over 3 days in Atlantic City at Boardwalk Hall. By the end of the first group of test...

  5. One more round of "What Would You Do?"

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

    I'd call 911 then parents, unless mom or dad was literally in the building. Even then I'd be on the phone to 911 and have someone else paging the

  6. What would you do in this situation?

    Stitchy's mom posted a topic in School

    A teacher came in with a student telling me that he had ringworm and that mom needed to come and get him...now! I said that I would take a look. I looked at his head and nothing. He had a small...

  7. What would you do in this situation?

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

    Trying to tell her that I was doing an assessment wasn't working. I tried to explain that several times, but it just didn't work. I don't understand why people think that they are experts in...

  8. Not wanting to take care of male resident

    Stitchy's mom replied to MileyFans's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I was 16 and working in a nursing home. I had never seen a member that wasn't attached to a baby. It was really hard for me, but I worked with some really good people. We switched up the...

  9. Silly question about asthma

    Stitchy's mom replied to mc3's topic in School

    So yesterday I had one of the kids come in c/o SOB. Does she have asthma, yup. Is her inhaler at school, nope. I did an assessment, her lungs were clear, pulse and resp were WNL, she was talking...

  10. nosebleeds and prevention

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

    I've had a ton of them since school started in August. I don't think there's much you can do, maybe sending a flyer home and hope the parents read it. Is it the same couple of kids or is it...

  11. Please Share! New school nurse looking for tips, hints, and other helpful info!

    Stitchy's mom replied to jodys-girl's topic in School

    NEVER, NEVER, NEVER let a student come in without a paper nurses pass. They should have name, date, time, and complaint. If the kids have a head injury and you don't know their name you can't assess...

  12. Charting for a sub

    Stitchy's mom posted a topic in School

    Just curious. I thought that it was pretty much a forgone conclusion that if you chart something, you sign it. I had a sub the other day and while some charting was done, it wasn't signed. I'm...

  13. Charting for a sub

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

    I chart electronically, but the subs have to do it on paper because they don't have computer access. I also have to tell the subs that health information needs to be locked up. I feel like any nurse...

  14. To Get My Cert or Not, that is the question

    Stitchy's mom posted a topic in School

    Okay, so I handed in my resignation, and my last day is just before Christmas. Now I have to figure out if I'm going to get my cert. I need to take 1 class before I start the program. Part of me...

  15. To Get My Cert or Not, that is the question

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

    Oh, I forgot, are there many jobs out there for school nurses? I don't want to go through getting my cert only to find I can't get a position. Where would I

  16. Sorry, but no..:

    Stitchy's mom replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    Not fond of the term "Client" either. When I speak of "the ill" they are "patients", but when I chart they're "clients." I know we have to do these things to be "Politically

  17. Frequent Flier Teachers

    Stitchy's mom replied to Kschaefer90's topic in School

    I think they're afraid of liability, like stephaniepresher, said. One day a sub was in and it really was like a revolving door. It was really bad, I had to speak to the principal about it. But I...

  18. What do you do when you can't get ahold of parents?

    Stitchy's mom replied to 100kids's topic in School

    We start with mom, all her numbers (usually 2 or 3) then dad (2 or 3) then emails to both, then repeat. Wait an hour, call again then go to the emergency cards and hope that the person they put on...

  19. I just had to quit. :o(

    Stitchy's mom posted a topic in School

    Well, I handed in my resignation today. I had to. I was tired of staying for meetings that had nothing to do with me, I don't teach, I'm there for Boo Boos and Asthma and bumps. That's not to say I...

  20. I just had to quit. :o(

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

    We don't have a union. I'm not a big union person, but I do recognize they have a place...IF they advocate for their members in the correct way. (My MIL's did not, he fell asleep during one of her...

  21. A&P Instructor Accused Me of Plagiarism

    Stitchy's mom replied to kissmypineapple's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was accused of plagiarism, way back in the stone age when we had to use these things called typewriters. They couldn't prove anything because obviously I didn't do anything. But they were "gunning...

  22. Student Growth Objectives

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

    I am soooo glad you got something, Flare. I was begining to feel so alone. I've done a lot of research and the only thing I've come up with is the Denver stuff. I've got a template to fill out,...

  23. Student Growth Objectives

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

    Here in NJ were doing them, well I have to. I just feel like I don't know what I'm doing with these things and there's no one that I can ask for

  24. Student Growth Objectives

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

    That's the general idea. I don't have diabetics (Yay!) and I don't have to worry about school sports (K - 4) but I get where you're going. I have to pull data to come up with these things. I'm...

  25. This is a weird question I guess

    Stitchy's mom replied to RNlove17's topic in School

    When I was in high school I visited the nurse every month. I would have loved it if she gave me something for pain. I had a mother who wouldn't get Midol or Motrin for my cramps. She just told me...
