    Pediatric patient- home nurse situations!?

    Flare replied to MomLPN4's topic in Private Duty

    All I have to say that if I were the mom and found out that my husband were committing an affair right under my nose with my child's nurse, i would be diligent in finding out what other secrets were...

    I wonder how many nurses out there experienced a needle stick injury

    Flare replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    i've had one dirty needle stick - if you can even call it that - shot into an iv line above the pump, stuck my thumb when putting the needle into the sharps container. Not really a big deal, but...

    would you even attempt this?

    Flare replied to SrnD's topic in General Nursing

    the worst they can say is no. And it will help clearly define your goals for your career. Even if they don't bend the 6 month rule this time, they will know you want a position in OR and may just...

    PA Senate Bill 802

    Flare replied to LegzRN's topic in School

    I believe school nursing itself can be considered a specialty all its own, just like ICU, L and D, ER, and so on. The difference is that most school nurses - and this is a very general statement -...

    There is no delicate way to put this (WARNING! Sensitive Subject Ahead)

    Flare replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Solairesolstice, you make some good points. Perhaps just coming out and saying "Jim, what's the reason you are wearing so much eye makeup" is the key. One simple question. No reaction to the...

    Special Needs Student Left Alone in School Nurse Office

    Flare replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    That's astounding to me. That poor child must have been terrified to wake up alone in a dark office. On a side note that must be one heck of an office if you could forget about a student in there....

    You've got quite a task ahead of you, but don't go reinventing the wheel. Contact some local schools that are similar to your own school to get copies of their policies and procedures. Get input...

    I'm embarking on my first screenings in this school next month. I have an experienced sub nurse coming in and 2 scoliometers. Our plan is to close the nurses office for the PE periods we need to go...

    broken braces

    Flare posted a topic in School

    I've seen a rash of broken orthodontia lately. I was given a braces repair kit by a local orthodontist which was comprised of a wire cutter, pusher bar and mirror and some wax. I've used it a few...

    Am I hard of hearing?

    Flare posted a topic in School

    I mean I've taken the time to test my own hearing with my audiometer and everything was normal- but I can;t understand quite a few of my students when they come in. They just don't enunciate their...

    School parents want girl with peanut allergy sent home

    Flare replied to safarirn's topic in School

    I tend to think the actual number of true peanut allergies has atayed relatively the same. What has increased is the number of doctors not wanting to get sued for misdiagnosing a peanut sensitivity...

    broken braces

    Flare replied to Flare's topic in School

    I always give a call before i snip anything. Most of the times i've had to snip the wire it's because it's not amenable to bending and waxing. If the archwire is snapped already, it's not doing it's...

    School parents want girl with peanut allergy sent home

    Flare replied to safarirn's topic in School

    I think one of the bigger issues here is the fact of such a young child. On one hand we have a child that - while he/she may age wise be ready to precautions such as asking what is in food offered...

    Does an employer have to have staff phone numbers?

    Flare replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with TonieRN - your employer needs a means of getting ahold of you. It doesn't mean that you have to take the call. Most phone plans have caller id standard - just don't answer it and...

    An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

    Flare replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    ok - tl;dr most of prior answers and someone else probably already made this point, but you are 17. You say you only want to do bedside nursing now, but in a few years after you've been doing the job...

    I know a woman who was an LVN and decided after many years of nursing that she preferred to do the work of a NA so that just what she did. One of the best NA's i've ever met too. Not everyone...
