2. Vaseline without parental permission?

   nyy2 posted a topic in School

   We routinely use vaseline for a variety of reasons, but now one of my colleagues is being questioned for putting vaseline on a child without the parent's permission. She expected a phone call or note...

   nyy2 replied to nyy2's topic in School

   Thank you for the input...it seems so slow compared to the old program that wasn't web based. But I guess it isn't just our

4. Health Office Anywhere Problems

   nyy2 posted a topic in School

   For those of you that use Health Office Anywhere... Is it normal for there to be such a lag time? We just switched to this from the "old" Health Master that wasn't web based. It seems when you open...

5. Should a new grad RN?....

   nyy2 replied to MoserK's topic in General Nursing

   I can see it both ways.... experience provides a good knowledge base, but at the same time, you can never be totally prepared for the ER! You will see any and everything in the ER. I have seen quite...

6. Do you wear scrubs?

   nyy2 replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

   I always stick to scrubs, but I am expecting in February, so this year I have been wearing "street clothes". I didn't want to shell out a ton of money in maternity scrubs AND maternity clothes. I am...

7. Why? Why? Why?

   nyy2 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

   Yes...all so annoying. I get a lot of earring issues also. This morning a teacher sent a girl down because her earring fell out and she wanted it to be put back in. No blood, drainage, redness, or any...

8. We've all been venting

9. School nurse sallary when you have a family?

   nyy2 replied to Avill's topic in School

11. Staying home day after fever?

    nyy2 replied to nyy2's topic in School

    I also hate that it is worded fever free for 24 hours...the parents can say well they didn't have a fever at 12:00pm when I got them home, so they can technically come back at 12:00pm the next day....

12. Staying home day after fever?

    nyy2 posted a topic in School

    Just wondering what you all do with the kids who come in the day after having a fever? They are supposed to be staying home for 24 hours after the fever, but of course that rule is not frequently...

13. Feeling burnt out

    nyy2 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I thought it was just me feeling this way! I am so over this job right now! Especially the day after Halloween - I've had so many upset bellies. Well if you eat a pound of candy, duh you won't feel...

14. I'm a Man, Can I be Successful as An OB Nurse

    nyy2 replied to AlmostANurse321's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As others have said, it may depend on where you are working. If you are in a small unit/hospital, it may be an issue. I personally would prefer an OB nurse to be female, BUT if the male nurse had a...
