  1. Feeling the Love Today!

    NanaPoo replied to TBeee's topic in School

    That's awesome, happy birthday! Hope it was great! My favorite Christmas card last year was where the teacher had the kids specifically thank me for things I'd done. It's a keeper, for sure...

  2. Reality check blues

    NanaPoo replied to jesserpie's topic in School

    I was one hour late last Friday. That was all the reality check they could handle. They literally called my phone 5 times before I could get

  3. How heavy is your hammer?

    NanaPoo replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I'm with honey badger...it really depends on my mood. And it depends on whether my BS-O-Meter is

  5. The struggle from a student who's mom is the school nurse :)

    NanaPoo replied to loveschoolnursing's topic in School

    Oh, how I would love to teach that to my daughter's class. She's already mortified that her friends come to see me in the clinic as it is. This week the cutest guy in her class (per all 12 yr old...

  6. Would you report possible diversion?

    NanaPoo replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing and possibly saved lives. Do not blame yourself. Definitely talk to EAP if you need to. I applaud your courage. Ga Anesthesia Assistant Arrested For DUI Propofol In Wrong Way...

  7. Let's encourage each other.

    NanaPoo replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Agreed...this group is awesome. I come here not just for support and amazing ideas but for some of my biggest laughs of the day. I just finished reading "The Hamster is Loose" after being really sick...

  8. That's So Fetch! (Pink Wednesdays)

    NanaPoo replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Nuts, Far? Somebody's got some 'splainin to do. I'm in my usual pink Urbane's with the lime trim. Refer back to previous boobies pic. Recently I was far too generous and took home a student's red...

  9. C'Mon Now!

    NanaPoo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Ohmigawd, I think we have enough school nurse sayings that we can have a shirt for each day of the week. Remember to make Wednesday's shirt pink,

  10. Annie wants us to teach cursive....

    NanaPoo replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    I agree. School nurses should carry the burden of teaching cursive writing. I'm calling the Association right now. Does anyone have their number? Otherwise, we'll just be stuck here handing out...

  11. Post Polio Syndrome; Bad Advice

    NanaPoo replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    We have to be careful about all the advice we give and make sure we understand the reasoning behind it. I was once incredibly fatigued and couldn't seem to get up and do anything. My dad decided this...

  12. I need a better username!

    NanaPoo replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    I like your username and I think it actually applies very much to school nursing. I say it all the time at this job, usually at the end of the day, "well, you learn something new everyday." Typically,...

  13. Tell me why you regret about becoming a Nurse

    NanaPoo replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    No regrets except that I would've gone into nursing immediately instead of messing around with a silly BA first. That would've afforded me time to do a BSN first and likely my MSN, maybe a FNP. My...

  14. Healthcare-related "what the heck?!?!" dreams

    NanaPoo replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I hate dreaming about work! It's like I'm working during my break for no pay AND things usually are going right down the crapper in the process! I'm a school nurse so last night's dream featured a...

  15. Do you interact with students outside of the office?

    NanaPoo replied to Kittery's topic in School

    Not in a voluntary way you speak of. My daughter does play volleyball, though, both for the school team and a year-round competitive club. There are 2 other students from our school who also play in...

  16. How far does confidentiality go?

    NanaPoo replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    Ugh. Please tell me this girl moves on to another school soon because you will NOT want to know her when she hits the middle school years. I had one of those. It was bad

  17. Lets take attendance

    NanaPoo replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I'm in all week. Spring break is the first week of April for us. But the weather is warm so that means a daily accident

  18. Random Thoughts: School Nurses

    NanaPoo replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Great link, Cattz. Thank you. Then my OI kid busts open his surgical incision today and as I'm trying to control the bleeding a 3rd grade teacher is sending down students who "feel like they have ants...

  19. Random Thoughts: School Nurses

    NanaPoo replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Here's my random thought that I think about several times a day so maybe it's not so random. More of a recurring thought, perhaps. What is with this concept of not owning up to your actions and...

  20. C'Mon Now!

    NanaPoo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    A kid came asking me to pull his tooth that hardly wiggled. I declined. He returned 10 minutes later, right hand drenched in blood saying, " decided to rip it out myself." Before I can tell him to...

  21. Warmer Weather and Outside Injuries !

    NanaPoo replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Yep, big concussion yesterday when the boys were seeing who could jump the farthest across the monkey bars. The sad thing is the winner doesn't recall his victory since he knocked himself unconscious...

  22. That's So Fetch! (Pink Wednesdays)

    NanaPoo replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Hot pink scrubs & these awesome new chucks I got during daughter's volleyball tournament last

  23. Anyone working this Summer?

    NanaPoo replied to bsyrn's topic in School

    No working for me..at least not for actual money. My daughter has a full summer calendar already and I'll be her taxi service and event planner. I am looking forward to sleeping a little later than...

  24. floating rib

    NanaPoo replied to mycsm's topic in School

    That's awesome. I'd tell him, "hey, I've got 4 floating ribs but you don't hear me whining about

  25. Pledge of Allegiance?

    NanaPoo replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    When my daughter was 3 she would come home from preschool, flip over my laundry basket, climb her adorable little Chinese self on top of it & say her pledges from school. At the end of her Bible...
