  1. School nursing versus home health

    NanaPoo replied to babynurse73's topic in School

    I did home hospice. I'm not sure how close to home health that is but I really loved it. I was able to work 8-3, just like I do as a school nurse. The only difference was that I did have to take...

  2. WHATS THAT SMELL???

    NanaPoo replied to lumbarpain's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    On a not-so-"lighter" note, the first time I met my husband's uncle, he literally laid down in the floor and lit his fart. This was a 40-year old man. And yet I still married my husband. So I cant...

    NanaPoo replied to villageRN's topic in School

  4. scrubs or business casual

    NanaPoo replied to villageRN's topic in School

    Scrubs all the way here. I used to wear jeans on Friday but since I was recently vomited on I no longer feel the desire to wear my nice clothes anywhere near the clinic. My scrubs can handle the super...

  6. Bruises

    NanaPoo replied to mugs's topic in General Nursing

    The hydrogen peroxide was absolutely nutty. It didn't do a thing but she was convinced it did. She was always having me put peroxide on cotton balls and rub it on her bruises. You know, because I'm...

  7. School Nurse Abandonment over Pledge?

    NanaPoo replied to E Non Imus, RN's topic in General Nursing

    How would the school nurse even know if a child refuses to say the pledge? When our kids say the pledge, they are in the classroom and I am in my clinic. And, besides, I do my best to stay out of...

  11. What's your favorite thing about being a school nurse?

    NanaPoo replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    Celebrity status. There are lots of teachers but only ONE school nurse and I get lots of little fingers pointing at me and saying, "That's MY nurse, mom!" The kids treat me like a miracle worker....

  14. Telemedicine

    NanaPoo replied to nitpicker's topic in School

    Wow, this sounds like the school clinic would become a Minute Clinic. Would the school clinic then begin accepting insurance plans, payments, Medicaid, etc? My current situation definitely does not...

  17. Trust

    NanaPoo replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I definitely have only felt the camaraderie with custodians. What is up with that? I am the one and only nurse and am definitely NOT a loud personality type. I have one staff member that I...

    NanaPoo replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    We have one required fire drill per month and, so far, our school has complied. We've had one tornado drill this year, too. I think we're supposed to have a lockdown drill but that hasn't happened....

  24. Random Thoughts: School Nurses
