  1. Licegate 2017

    NanaPoo replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I did say this. Followed with, "I check my own daughter's hair everyday when I'm brushing it out and pulling it up into a ponytail. I send a reminder email several times each year to be checking your...

  2. C'Mon Now!

    NanaPoo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    We have a brand new substitute teacher who frequently stops by to tell me how to do my job. You know, how I should or shouldn't send a student home or should just let him rest on a cot, etc. She lets...

  3. Student Injury

    NanaPoo replied to Amethya's topic in School

  4. Sweet, Honey

    NanaPoo replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    I keep my hair very short so I would FREAK out if people played with my hair. That would be so weird. My super old school nursing instructor 20 years ago threatened our lives if we ever called our...

  5. What makes you say/think "it was a good shift?"

    NanaPoo replied to quazar's topic in General Nursing

    As a school nurse: no one threw up and, if they did, they hit the garbage can or it at least happened somewhere besides my clinic. I didn't get cranky or frustrated with my students all day

  6. Stress free nursing?

    NanaPoo replied to fezz's topic in General Nursing

    School Nurse for a small private school. Incredibly low stress job. BUT, the other side is that my finances can become stressful because school nursing pay can be really, really BAD. But the schedule...

    NanaPoo replied to HappyCNA's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    A friend of mine contracted Legionnaire's disease while working at a business with a large bucket catching water. He nearly died in ICU and was very, very ill for months. He was in his mid-20's at the...

  10. Do you think nurses get special treatment?

    NanaPoo replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

    I never thought about it. I've been pulled over 3 times. Once on my way to work in scrubs and didn't get a ticket, just a warning. The other two times were on an off day, no scrubs and I got a ticket...

  11. Washing scrubs?

    NanaPoo replied to dd131's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't ironed since nursing school 20 years ago when my instructors from the war insisted on white scrubs that could stand up by

  13. The Pacer Test

    NanaPoo replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Is that like when it gets truly hot in Georgia and the entire third grade comes to the clinic after recess saying they feel dizzy, clammy, and nauseated? I say, "yes, it's called summer in the south....

  14. I've hit the wall...

    NanaPoo replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Omigosh, I was done in September. This has been a horrendous school year. May can't get here soon

  15. Keyless Lock cabinet

    NanaPoo replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

    I have keys. When I first came, my keys were kept in the clinic mailbox which is in the locked administrative offices. BUT, I am not clear on who all has access to that office in the evenings and on...

  16. May I have your attention please?

    NanaPoo replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    But it's DEFINITELY your fault if someone has lice. FO

  17. What was your worst shift ever?

    NanaPoo replied to Isakolistic's topic in General Nursing

    I was a brand new nurse on a med/surg floor and all of 5'0" and 95 lbs. We took a lot of DT patients and I somehow always got the 6'3" guys weighing in at 300 lbs. This one in particular was a young...

    NanaPoo replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    But do you have tiny

  19. What supply company do you use?

    NanaPoo replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I did hours of price comparisons when I first started and found that MacGill was my best deal on supplies unless I could just shop locally at Walmart or Sam's

  20. They are trying to send ME home!

    NanaPoo replied to WineRN's topic in School

    Wow...I get 8 total days off. I think 6 can be sick and 2 can be personal. I can never take them because it's so hard to get coverage. I took 2 off last month because I got the flu. It was the first...

    NanaPoo replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

  23. Canceled Patient Morphine Allergy

    NanaPoo replied to RNlife6's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think it was correct to cancel the Morphine allergy as it wasn't a true allergy. I always have caregivers document Ultram as an allergy for myself even though it's not a "true" allergy...but it does...

  24. Start your day with a good reaming out!

    NanaPoo replied to Flare's topic in School

    Oh, parents and lice posts on Facebook. Kill.me.now. Parents are completely unaware of our actual health policies like "don't send your kid to school with a fever or 5 minutes after they vomited" but...
