1. scrubs or business casual

   RNlove17 replied to villageRN's topic in School

   i wear business casual. I would feel uncomfortable in scrubs with everyone else in "normal" clothes. I work at the high school but some other nurses in the district wear scrubs, and some wear street...

2. End of year meds?

   RNlove17 replied to chasinRT's topic in School

   Nope. I do a printout of all students who have med orders. Then, I go through and determine who has actual meds here at school from that list. I then print out an individual med list for each student,...

   RNlove17 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

   I live/work in a suburban district in Western NY state so... we NEVER have snow days. Lol it'll be -15 degrees out, 4 feet of snow and here we are. Im exaggerating, but seriously, its tough to get a...

5. How is your office set up/decorated?

   RNlove17 posted a topic in School

   Just because I'm curious. What level are you - elementary, middle school, high school, etc? How is your office set up - where is your desk, cabinets, how big is the space, do you have a bathroom,...

   RNlove17 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

   I also work in Ny (western NY). I work per diem on a rehab unit 2 shifts a month (its where I used to work fulltime) and then in the summer I work more. They are very short staffed so I always have...

7. Sub Folder - med list

   RNlove17 replied to RNlove17's topic in School

   Thank you. This is my 2nd year here (and last year I was out for almost 3 months on maternity leave!) so I'm still learning things. I don't have much interaction with other school nurses so I like to...

8. Sub Folder - med list

   RNlove17 posted a topic in School

   I'm updating my sub folder and want to put a list of students and their meds and med times (we use SNAP and a sub does not have access to that info.) Does anyone use a template that nicely organizes...

9. Wrapping Injuries

   RNlove17 replied to nurseshajwani's topic in School

   I don't usually wrap. I'm nervous of that liability. What if I wrap and it turns out to be fractured and wrapping it worsened the injury? Only things I will do is buddy tape a finger, which I don't do...

10. head laceration

    RNlove17 replied to garfieldrn's topic in School

    This sounds like a minor laceration. Changing the bloody gauze was appropriate. Leaving it would have been appropriate too but for a smaller/minor laceration, I'd change it. I probably would have at...

    RNlove17 replied to newSN's topic in School

    This was me last year. I interviewed for my current school nurse job around 17 weeks pregnant (wasn't showing much). i did NOT say anything then. They legally can't ask and you don't have to tell...

13. am i reasonably resigning?

    RNlove17 replied to wakeuptothesun86's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    First: If you have federal loans - call the servicer and see if you can get put on an income based repayment plan (IBR). 1000$/month is crazy. If they're private loans, you're basically SOL tho....

14. Would you hold Metformin fot a BS level of 149

    RNlove17 replied to Nola009's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I wouldn't hold it or even think to hold it. In your particular situation with the sup saying that, I would have called the provider or HO and asked to

15. WHY do employers that give 2-3 days orientation require a month's notice of resignati

    RNlove17 replied to Nola009's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    First off, you are not a slave. Technically you can leave anytime you want. Do they give you 4 weeks notice if they are going to can you? I don't think so. There is no law that says you even have to...
