  1. OK, I assumed . . .

    NanaPoo replied to tining's topic in School

    Do you all have a lot of possible concussion situations (or just bumps on the heads) from kids running into things? I mean, my kids are constantly running into walls, poles, trophy cases....I don't...

  2. Suboxone treatment

    NanaPoo replied to Heynurse29's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm not sure what nurses you're working with but I don't know any nurses that overlook the importance of the MAR. That's an incredibly important aspect of documenting medication administration if not...

  3. My kid is THAT kid!

    NanaPoo replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Y'all have a problem.. My soon-to-be-ex carries a chapstick everywhere in his pocket. I can't tell you how many tubes of chapstick I've melted in the dryer. No, I didn't leave him because of his...

  4. When do you give up?

    NanaPoo replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Don'tcha hate it when you have the student call home for a good butt chewin' and instead your student totally starts crying and begging, "please, just come pick me up??

  5. Kids doing this on purpose?

    NanaPoo replied to Amethya's topic in School

    EVERY year, without fail, I have a table of 6th grade boys start up a little "dare me" contest at lunch. They start daring each other to eat gross things and the dares just build and build until one...

  6. Need Opinions!

    NanaPoo replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    I have a handful of parents who flip out over EVERY LITTLE THING. We all do and you quickly learn who they are. I agree with you that an ankle really has no relation to ERCP and my first impression...

  7. What languages do you speak?

    NanaPoo replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I got a BA in Spanish before I went to nursing school. I was very fluent when I graduated back in '93. I used it a lot in some nursing jobs, depending on the location. Other nurses abused the heck out...

  8. Dear Teacher

    NanaPoo replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I'm a school RN with 18 years of experience and deal with all you listed in your letter and then some (like parents, teachers, administrators telling me how to do my job and going to the principal...

  9. Tummy ache...

    NanaPoo replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    I love the letterhead note to the tooth fairy (or elf!) I have tooth necklaces and the kids frequently open the necklace to show off their and literally lose the tooth...on the playground, in the...

  10. School parents suck...

    NanaPoo replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Ermahgerd..my parents are on a roll right now, feeling the need to stop by & tell me how I could do my job better, how I've recently failed them, & basically how I suck. It all pertains to...

  11. C'Mon Now!

    NanaPoo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I had 5 students in the clinic earlier... Student 1: legit 7th grader with a headache Student 2: needed to call her mom because other kids were making her feel awkward & maybe now she'd rather try...

  12. Kid won't eat lunch

    NanaPoo replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I love this post. I get a wealth of information from my daughter...finding out who came to school even though they puked this morning, who's starving to meet their wrestling weight class, and all...

  13. Forged Doctor's Note

    NanaPoo replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Wait, she was the author of that horrendous forged letter but she's pretty sure she knows better than all of her son's medical providers.

  14. C'Mon Now!

    NanaPoo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Monday morning after Atlanta lost in that heartbreaking Super Bowl game, one of our local tardy excuses was "Failure to Rise Up." Aww, just saw where somebody beat me to

  15. How Do you Deal With. . .

    NanaPoo replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    I usually come back with smart a** remarks so I'm probably not too great of an advisor on this. I had a teacher bypass me because she wanted a student to go home since he'd vomited 28 hours...

  16. Please tell me it gets better...

    NanaPoo replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I HATED my first year and was ready to leave by Christmas break. It sounds silly but while I was really struggling with the decision about whether to leave I got a fortune cookie with the message,...

  17. Bleeding from his eyes! I swear, he was bleeding from his eyes!

    NanaPoo replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I've seen this. It can't be okay for milk to go through your tear ducts. What if some is left behind and then it goes bad like

  18. School parents suck...

    NanaPoo replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    My parents who are also staff and faculty are probably my best...they tend to be the best at keeping their kids OUT of the clinic unless it's absolutely necessary. Especially when they start getting...

  19. I quit the PA rat race.

    NanaPoo replied to Non Sequitir's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I must agree with

  20. Unsolicited Advice..do you get this, too?

    NanaPoo posted a topic in School

    So, I'm at a private school housed within a church. We have a preschool (I am not their nurse although they use me as such & do not pay me) as well as lots of passersby including our parents,...

  21. Unsolicited Advice..do you get this, too?

    NanaPoo replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    Ugh, yes! My principal seems to think that, since she's 80 years old and has been in education since dirt was invented that she's the beginning & end of all knowledge when it comes to any illness...

  22. Unsolicited Advice..do you get this, too?

    NanaPoo replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    No, I won't accept the things I cannot change when science is being ignored and we're doing things based on tradition, misconception, and fear. That's unacceptable to me. The serenity prayer doesn't...

  23. Thought I had been punked. I. Can't. Make. This. Stuff. Up.

    NanaPoo replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Bingo! My school has had a Norovirus outbreak for the past 2 weeks with about 25% of students affected. The principal said she would close classes at the 25% point and, when I gave her these numbers,...

  24. C'Mon Now!

    NanaPoo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Trust me, I want to say yes. But we're out in our car and she wants to drive home and order donuts! Shouldn't we just drive by & pick up the donuts

  25. Unsolicited Advice..do you get this, too?

    NanaPoo replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    I've been there 3 years and have been a RN for 18 years. I am having this problem more now than ever since we have a new principal. Like I said, even the principal herself does it. She also overrides...
