    School Nurse Job Interview

    MassED replied to evangpate's topic in Emergency

    Evan, I think the burnout mainly stems from a lack of teamwork that can happen, backbiting, and a lot of drama. I avoid the drama at all costs. I keep work at work, which is crucial, and definitely...

    MassED replied to LuVnLpN08's topic in General Nursing

    yes you can give two shots. The dose was 80mg, right? If that's how it's carried, as 40 mg prefilled syringes, then you give two shots. They're prefilled, with air at the end, so you wouldn't draw...

    School Nurse Job Interview

    MassED replied to evangpate's topic in Emergency

    just my 2 cents - I suppose it depends on your personality and what you, overall, want from nursing. I may want to do school nursing in 30 years.... scratch that, I better be

    School Nurse Job Interview

    MassED replied to evangpate's topic in Emergency

    I work in an ER and also substitute as a school nurse for the local elementary, middle, and high schools. I couldn't imagine doing that full-time, mainly because it's no where near as interesting as...

    I hate to say, you never should have told your present employer (the ones treating you well) about your new job. =( That stinks. I never would have told either about the other. That's too bad the...

    Nurses taking patient's off backboards without doctor clearnce?

    MassED replied to the big nurse's topic in Emergency

    we don't send pt's to xray on a backboard. A patient is seen by the MD - at least to get off the board, then it's documented that MD such and such assessed, removed pt from board - then pt will be...
