    10 year old died after I performed CPR

    bluebonnetrn replied to MjHudd's topic in General Nursing

    You have stated this so well. I have thought about how nursing frequently involves an intense though brief relationship. We are there for some of the most intimate moments of people's lives. It is an...

    bluebonnetrn replied to maryel's topic in School

    Administration hovering and criticizing

    bluebonnetrn replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    YUP! I had a student have a 30 second seizure and then a little post-iptic nap. The other adult who was there (an OT - really? I would have expected more from her than a teacher) just stared at me...

    bluebonnetrn replied to Mango Juice's topic in School

    So just this morning: A kid broke his arm last night and was placed in a soft cast pending his ortho appointment today. Teacher sent him down for me to "check" his cast. Yup it's a cast. Another kid...

    bluebonnetrn replied to Mango Juice's topic in School

    YES!YES!YES! A parent who gets it! It's because the teachers are over dramatic and think we can cure it all and the whole "we can't let our precious babies feel one ounce of discomfort ever"...

    This is not why I became a nurse

    bluebonnetrn replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    I gave a speech similar to that this year which included things such as: "Vomiting is not an emergency. Please let them finish before moving them. At least it keeps it contained to one spot." "If...

    bluebonnetrn replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in General Nursing

    bluebonnetrn replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    bluebonnetrn replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    bluebonnetrn replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    My husband and I are both nurses and so as you can imagine scheduling was a nightmare and especially so around holidays. So... I went into school nursing. Best move ever! ALL holidays off plus the...

    Is the nursing profession causing its own RN shortage?

    bluebonnetrn replied to RNDave's topic in Nursing Professionalism
