    ohiobobcat replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

  4. Should I quit my 2nd job? How many work 2 jobs here?

    ohiobobcat replied to CampNurse10's topic in School

    I picked up a job at a summer camp this summer. It more than made up the difference in $$ from leaving the hospital and working at the school. Plus I got to live in a beautiful cabin on the lake all...

  5. Should I have checked?

    ohiobobcat replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

    Nope, nope, nopity nope. I would not have gone "there". You handled it exactly as I would have. Why is mom still harping on this a week later? Have Susie eat more fiber and move

  6. What would you do?

    ohiobobcat replied to happyandyouknowit's topic in School

    I had the same exact issue last year. Kids passed out, hit his head, was awake and talking with stable vitals when I assessed him. I did not call EMS. The only difference in my case was that I had...

  7. The Vomit Thread

    ohiobobcat replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    That's a great idea!!! I'm gonna use that. I've got sneaky high school kids who tell me they vomit, but it is rarely witnessed. I did have one female student, who has the world's worst case of...

  12. School Year 2015/2016: Who's in?

    ohiobobcat replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I'm back! Year 3 for me in a high school setting. Working on getting my office set right now. Apparently we have 66 new students this year already, so that should be fun trying to get all that...

  13. Interesting question for school nurses

    ohiobobcat replied to SchoolNurse101's topic in School

    I worked as an ER nurse prior to this job, so I was used to CUTTING clothes off patients and sticking tubes into various orifices. Here at school, I don't look at anything that would be covered by a...

    ohiobobcat replied to SassyTachyRN's topic in School

    It is stated in my contract, but if we go over a certain amount of snow days, they get tacked on to the end of the year. So it makes the last day of school a ? because I know we had snow days, but I...

    ohiobobcat replied to SML456's topic in General Nursing

    I think my ADN was around $10,000 at a local community college. I had to take microbiology and speech, and I had to retake A&P because it had been longer than 10 years since I took it the first...

    ohiobobcat replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a student come in with another student who needed a band-aid for a blister. Non- blistered student picked out blistered student's band-aid out of my stash and said "There's your band-aid. Now...
