  1. Here I Am!

    NanaPoo replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    Oh, we're sharing pics now? This is me giving band-aids to a very bloody

  2. Snow day! :) or :(

    NanaPoo replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    We've only had one snow day which is pretty typical for us southerners. I'm thankful for that one but would have loved more. Trees are already blooming here so I don't expect anymore cold snowy days....

  3. Ridiculous things. This is a new one one me.

    NanaPoo replied to Cattz's topic in School

    I think you're mistaken here. Like any other area of nursing I've worked in, I'm still a nurse when I'm school nursing, just as when I was hospice nursing. In hospice for 12 years, I took thoughts of...

  4. Your thoughts on ice....

    NanaPoo replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    I have an icemaker in the cafeteria which is across the hall. I fill up my beer cooler every morning and make little Ziploc ice baggies when asked. I don't put limits on ice packs. I'd rather give you...

  5. Omitted Work History

    NanaPoo replied to EvaFreeman's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for 16 years and have had a few jobs where I worked for under 6 months and felt like those wouldn't look great on my resume if listed. Those never came up in interviews. If they did,...

  6. Least stressful nursing specialty

    NanaPoo replied to Svkd's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse turned stay-at-home mom to one good daughter...particularly after the kid turned 5 and went to kindergarten. The pay was pretty low,

  7. Nursing has a high divorce rate

    NanaPoo replied to Faada's topic in General Nursing

    I think, as nurses, we learn what true compassion and caring is and we begin to realize if/when we aren't seeing that from our spouse. I think, as our spouses, they truly cannot understand what we do...

  8. Where are my peeps today?

    NanaPoo replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    Awww, Nutmegge... I started Nurse Jackie two weeks & got hooked. I just finished the entire series today!! Now I'm in the dreaded show hole. Please finish it & tell me what you

    NanaPoo replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    Aww, working alone today? I'm off all week..winter break. Keep those louse in baggies for

  10. Cutting

    NanaPoo replied to ruralSchoolRN's topic in School

    So, you have your own personal policy but no official written school policy? I've seen some schools locally and nationally actually have an official policy and procedure to follow when a student is...

  11. Sometimes, you have to feel grateful

    NanaPoo replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    Funny! I have a fluffy white coat. The kids say, "Nurse, you look like a polar bear! I just wanna hug you!" I get tons of hugs when I'm in my white coat. Even more than usual. Best Christmas present...

  12. Weird question about gauze

    NanaPoo replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    You weighed your trash? Man, that WAS a slow day! This month has been WILD for me. Today is the first day I've been on AN in over a week unless it's been in the middle of the night. It's been nuts...

  13. If you don't pray. Please don't take this offensive.

    NanaPoo replied to Cattz's topic in School

    I'm so sorry for your heartbreaking loss. You, your friend's family and all her friends have my

  14. Day 4...

    NanaPoo replied to jhlpn's topic in School

    Ugh, I want a snow day. Stinking South! We've had one snow day that was actually a "it might snow so let's hunker down in fear" day. I'll take what I can get, though. Next week is Winter Break. An...

  15. Sometimes, you have to feel grateful

    NanaPoo replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    Oh, yes. I spend a lot of my time griping about the fakers and the whiners and the kids that try to cut out of school but I just love the littles who the Nurse is their hero. The Kindergarteners and...

  16. Sticky situation

    NanaPoo replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    You probably shouldn't have turned the box up, drank the liquid, then licked your arm clean, though. Seriously,

  17. Seriously ???

    NanaPoo replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Can I be team snack mom? Stale Saltines and 1/2 of a paper Dixie cup of tepid water after every game! Do your best team! That's really all I can ask for as long as you're

  18. Cutting

    NanaPoo replied to ruralSchoolRN's topic in School

    I know I'm late to the thread but I appreciate you bringing this up, ruralSchoolRN! This has been high on my list of things to address at my school and with my principal and faculty. I am pretty new...

  19. Recent student deaths are getting to me

    NanaPoo posted a topic in School

    So, this happened Monday afternoon at a metro Atlanta school. It's been all over the news and I saw lots of nasty comments on Facebook last night about how the teachers and parapros must have been...

  20. MSN Nurse without clinical experience please help!!

    NanaPoo replied to Sspino's topic in General Nursing

    Part of a nursing instructor's teaching came from his or her clinical experience. Sharing stories from "the trenches" and applying those to the lesson is what made lectures so interesting for me in...

  21. "I want to go home" Story Time

    NanaPoo replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    Yep. Even when the littles get sassy (and they do sometimes) I am sometimes bigger than them and can attempt to scare them out of their

  22. Recent student deaths are getting to me

    NanaPoo replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    Very cool! I've only read great things about her on social media since this video came out. I have some LCA connections and know only great things about the school. I've been very impressed by...

  23. I could feel the love.

    NanaPoo replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Heehee...do you think they could include fuzz, glitter and general hints of light on the identification list of that website, Far? I had a K5 teacher bring a student to me this morning. This sweet...

    NanaPoo replied to Jaellys's topic in Patient Medications

    Agreed. But she was asking if there is still a chance for complications with this particular

  25. Worried about phenergan IV push

    NanaPoo replied to Jaellys's topic in Patient Medications

    5 hours after the IVP the patient was completely fine, never experienced any symptoms or pain, she pushed the Phenergan with 10ml of NS and while IVF were running at 125ml/hr but she should still be...
