  1. Detox in Jail?

    NanaPoo replied to Glycerine82's topic in Correctional

    Oh, Glycerine, I'm not a corrections or psych nurse but you have my heart & prayers! I'm not even close to my sister at this stage in life but if I thought she were going through something like...

  2. Client vs Patient

    NanaPoo replied to srercg's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for 17 years. This is not a new "push" or trend. When I entered my first med-surg unit in 1999, we were told to call the people in our care "customers", never "patients". I agree as...

    NanaPoo replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    I love the 8-ball idea. My hubby kept one at his upper management job for awhile. His favorite answer was "Ask Again

  4. This is a new one...

    NanaPoo replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    Ha! I get the, "can I leave my diseased kid with you while I work on my sub plans?" thing ALL the time. I also get the bizarre questions that clearly exhibit extreme confidence in my abilities. I...

    NanaPoo replied to arnoldlayne's topic in School

    Oh, there's nothing like a good sternal rub. It's also good for waking the kid up in the morning when nothing else

  7. Boy/Girl Who Cried WOLF Syndrome

    NanaPoo replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Ugh! I've been that way with fractures the past few weeks. Everyone thinks they've broken their arm or their ankle all the time. A 6th grader's ankle popped, you know that cracking/popping noise, as...

    NanaPoo replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Oh, and then I banned my own kid from anything that plugs in, charges or has a remote. So, there's

  9. Ammonia Inhalant

    NanaPoo replied to arnoldlayne's topic in School

    I've had them used on me many a time (I was a child fainter). They are ever so unpleasant. I have them, too. I think I have a dark side that looks forward to the moment I finally get to be the user...

  10. Educate, educate, EDUCATE!

    NanaPoo replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Ha! When I was a nurse mom and not a school nurse I went to my daughter's 3rd grade class to teach summer safety. I brought summer fun stuff like water bottles and floats for everyone (from the dollar...

  11. And so it begins...

    NanaPoo replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Sully, you're killing me. 16 more days of ever-failing attitudes here. Mine may be slipping the fastest. Teachers are sending anything & everything to me. Monday a 2nd grade teacher was standing...

  15. What info for sub nurses?

    NanaPoo replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    I have a little set-up and break-down routine I go through every morning and afternoon (un/locking drawers/closet, getting ice, med count, etc). I've listed that out in steps and put it in a notebook...

  16. Has nursing made you negative?

    NanaPoo replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    17 years of nursing has made me more compassionate and helped me to see all sides of the human race and the suffering that comes with it. It's 23 years of marriage that has made me negative, bitter,...

  17. I need a little guidance

    NanaPoo replied to Gems0607's topic in School

    So then did you hold up THAT

  21. Entitlement - Are We Making The Problem Worse?

    NanaPoo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Pain is what the patient says it is? I preached this one until I became a school nurse. So, when a 7th grader came this year with a laceration drawn on his finger with a red marker and saying it was...

  23. Field Trips!!!

    NanaPoo replied to anita07's topic in School

    I only have 1 diabetic student and his mom or dad go on all his trips. Awesome parents. My ADHD kids either have a parent go, skip their med or have a teacher administer the med. My teachers take an...

  25. I'm convinced our school doesn't need a nurse

    NanaPoo replied to mc3's topic in School

    The 1st grade lice epidemic was my fault this year...I heard one of the moms sharing this info in the hallway. THEN, she announced it on our school's facebook page. That was the peak of my school...
