    C'Mon Now!

    OyWithThePoodles posted a topic in School

    Had a kid bring his wet, bloody tooth and plop it right on my desk. C'mon now! Or the kid that did running knee slide into my office. C'mon now! The ones old enough to cover their...

    Under the Influence Assessment

    OyWithThePoodles posted a topic in School

    Alright y'all. I tried searching, promise. And I could not find a previous post on this even though I know they're there. I am at a high school now (working with Mr. Poodles!!) and I am...

    Words You Hate

    OyWithThePoodles posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is there a medical word that you absolutely hate? Or one that you can never seem to pronounce correctly? Hate: Meatus. (Eww) Gargle. Mispronounce: Prophylaxis. I ALWAYS say...

    Mask Mandate in MA Schools Ending on 3/1

    OyWithThePoodles replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We got rid of masks last week. So far I have two positives that are clearly directly related to each other. We are only contact tracing at home contacts, tracing at school now would be near...

    What does everyone wear?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Istolethefizzyliftingdrink's topic in School

    I wear scrubs or scrub pants and a school t-shirt. On Friday's I wear jeans and a school

    SO. SICK. OF. MASK. ISSUES.

    OyWithThePoodles replied to k1p1ssk's topic in School

    See if you can get anyone to donate... We have a large car production company nearby and they've donated about 10,000 masks, if not

    Returning After Starting Antibiotics

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Back when I was seeing a lot of strep, MD's were starting to write to return after 12 hours. I was surprised

    Overbearing Parent Help

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    The facetiming needs to stop. It is disrupting to the learning process for every other child in the building. The school has reasonable accommodations, the nurse. Admin needs to get on board before...

    Being forced to give corporate access to my medical records?!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to IRN2011's topic in General Nursing

    I just wouldn't sign it and tell them to float you. Get your doctor to sign off on you being medically able to float, they can't force you to have a disability if your doctor says you

    Staying or Going?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to BooBooCrew's topic in School

    Definitely staying. I did hospital nursing for 9 years, and I truly love what I do. Working with my spouse is my incentive, I guess

    WOW 2 days in

    OyWithThePoodles replied to autism4life's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a hospital for NINE YEARS. And I kid you not, every single time I walked in to that supply room for something that wasn't used daily, I would stand there for a good 10 minutes searching....

    Okay... it's been a long day and my brain is tired. What in the world is a "come to my house and mow my lawn" assessment? ? Extremely bloodshot

    Under the Influence Assessment

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Admin is the one who brought her to me, she had already been searched and questioned by the SRO and he said she had no suspicious reactions or answers, which was good. I wanted to make sure there...

    Second guessing myself

    OyWithThePoodles replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    You did the right thing. We offer an insurance to parents, but it doesn't pay 100% of the cost of injury. Parents' insurance pays and what it doesn't cover, the school insurance picks

    C'Mon Now!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Right. It is a law in our state now that the school must be notified within 24-hours of receiving a positive, BY PARENTS. So, if they're breaking the law, that's on them. I let him know after he said...

    C'Mon Now!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Had a positive parent send their son to school after they were told to quarantine the kid. The had the audacity to get mad at me when the student had to be picked up. Mad because we checked his...

    Messing Up

    OyWithThePoodles replied to rnlady112's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital I used to work at required another nurse to verify and electronically sign their 3-4 ID in the computer. If this isn't in place at your facility, maybe this is a good change that will...

    Superstitious Nurses

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I had a co-worker that anytime she wore black scrubs, we had a death on the unit. Only took a handful of times before we told her to burn her black

    Will you take the Pfizer Covid Vaccine?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I got my Moderna vaccine last week. Arm was sore, got worse as the night went on but was fine the next morning. I was very fatigued, but otherwise

    Frustrated!!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to cowboysandangels's topic in School

    I certainly have experienced this with our health department. Getting letters for positive patients that say they are in quarantine instead of isolation, having seven year old's who you know cannot...

    Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Morning Glory's topic in General Nursing

    I will also add, there were many times I was sent to the PCU or ICU to take patients. BUT. They didn't have drips or vents, usually walkie talkies that were simply waiting on a transfer to a lower...

    Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Morning Glory's topic in General Nursing

    I worked on a med-surg floor for 9 years and the majority of our patients were tele. Most unnecessary, but the hospitalist would order it on EVERYONE. Drove me crazy. But it certainly wasn't out of my...
