  1. C'Mon Now!

    NanaPoo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    UberEats is a thing in Atlanta. I made the mistake of telling my daughter you can have Krispy Kreme donuts delivered to your house via Uber. I was saying it in a "what have we come to?" sort of way....

    NanaPoo replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    NanaPoo replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

  6. handling a willful child

    NanaPoo replied to basketball13's topic in School

    I think there was a little offense taken because you said, "the other nurse is in her 40's and I'm am young..." I can see where that might be slightly offensive. Anyway, as far as argumentative kids...

  7. Can you be forced to be charge nurse?

    NanaPoo replied to yourfuturern22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was charge after 6 months as a new RN on my very first med-surg job. There was such high turnover that it wasn't long before you had seniority on some shifts or some older nurses who had years on...

    NanaPoo replied to abc123RN's topic in School

    NanaPoo replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    NanaPoo replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I have a sister and brother (6th & 8th grade) who are the kindest kids on the planet. Well mannered, good students, and everyone loves them. They are always with the "yes m'aam's" here in the...

  12. What to wear?

    NanaPoo replied to Duncan6's topic in School

    Scrubs. All day, errday. Then I never have to think about what to wear. Except on the weekend when I just stand in my closet and stare at my normal clothes at a complete

  13. School nurse perks :)

    NanaPoo replied to Duncan6's topic in School

    Definitely being at school with my daughter & having her stop by at lunch to give me a hug-only 1.5 more years of that, though! Getting that "no school due to inclement weather" text and dancing...

  14. Who is in the path of Winter Storm Helena?

    NanaPoo replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We are here in the Atlanta and after Snowpocalyse 2014, we were smarter this time and released schools hours before the storm hit. We get pretty excited down here when we see a snowflake. We're...

  15. A Kindergartener just came into my office

    NanaPoo replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    When I ask, "how long has your head been hurting?" they always reply with, "since music" or "since Spanish class" as though I have the schedule of every student in the building memorized. I'm like,...

    NanaPoo replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    NanaPoo replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    Of course your door is closed. You have so many bridal gowns to try on and everyone knows it's bad luck to be seen before the wedding in your gown! DUH! My principal was fired in September and his...

  18. Splinters

    NanaPoo replied to ksouth's topic in School

    I'm at a Christian school with a playground named The Promised Land which I think is hysterical, particularly because the playground equipment is known for giving huge splinters. I call it The...

  19. No IEPs?!?

    NanaPoo replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I'm almost afraid to say this, but...I'm in a small, private school and I don't do IEPs, 504s (don't even know what that is), or health or visions screenings. I have about 320 students in K-8th grades...

  23. Ah Mondays...(vent coming)

    NanaPoo replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Y'all are cracking me up. Earlier this year I had a case of missing underwear. A kid peed his pants. I have a small room where my cot is along with shelving, a dorm-sized fridge, and a 2-drawer file...
