I have a few otc products (mostly topicals) that I use as part of my day to day - bactine for scrapes, vaseline for uses too numerous to count, mild lotion for c/o dry skin, packets of lip balm...
i will usually give out some food if I have something to give out and after I've checked the student's history (or asked the older student) about allergies. I sometimes get things left over in the...
i always joke that this will be my second career. 60/hr is cheap. in my area i think they get more like 75/hr. As far as home remedies -I do recommend the vinegar and oil treatment - but only...
i tend to agree with you - we are not in the business of policing people's undergarments. If the teacher that is asking you to speak with the student feels that strongly about it, they can bring it...
i was faced with a similar decision 2 years ago. The nurse in my hometown district was retiring and contacted me personally to let me know the job was up for grabs and that she'd be happy to put in a...
I did a showcase for heart health month one february and made paper conversation hearts each containing a fact about heart health or the heart. I tried to put some unusual facts or things that would...
i took a quick peek at the visitor guidelines and it doesn't expressly say you can't bring anything from the outside in- just says you must consult with unit staff before giving it to the patient -...
i would love if my district would get me an ipad! I could do my charting on the go, I could get cool apps like this and god only knows what else... but it's not bloody

I've been a volunteer firefighter and a nurse for 14 years. I went through both at the same time. I literally took the NCLEX a week before I finished my firefighter 1 class. Ah - youth!! I did...
I think that like most things, nursing is what you make of it. Yes, some hospitals have floors with terrible ratios and terrible management. Yes, there are some nurses that can be brutal to work...
I do everything on computer using healthmaster and i adore my software. I tell my boss over and over that it's key to keeping my office running like the well oiled machine that it is. If you can,...
just a general question wondering if anyone know how long a physical therapy script is good for? I decided that maybe the doctor is right and a little therapy would do my aching shoulder good - but...
What state are you in? I believe (but may be wrong so don't take me as gospel!) that most states have some sort of vaccine requirements to attend school. Like Ohiobobcat said, check your state...
after break - half day coming back for bad weather, then a snow day and the kids coming back today expecting a delay after yesterday's ice storm, i'll just be happy to get back on
Contact the school, advise them to take a nice glossy photo of your scope and let them know you will send in a notarized testimony outlining the stethoscope incident. Have them send you back your...
some are better than others at thinking about me here- nothing gets done on a group scale which is okay - there does seem to be a group collection that goes around -if it makes it's way to my office...

the overall is that most of my parents have a minimum of a 20 to 30 minute response time to begin with (the average time being closer to an hour to an hour and a half). And that's after I call 7...
We have been going through a situation that is reminiscent of what the OP may be trying to get at - student with a diagnosis of one thing and the parent communication with the teachers only (and not...

If it were my call to make, I agree that a call to 9-1-1 is in order -especially given the amount of finger that the mom indicated that she lost. There would have been no question in my mind. It...
i work per diem as an ADN at a local hospital - occasionally i'll pick up the end of a day shift 3-7 (more like 3:30 to 7 by the time i get there,, but they know my schedule and it's always just...
