    Did you replace a school nurse?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OldDude's topic in School

    I did not. My school had never had a nurse, which I like. I get to kinda do things my way and I never hear "well, that's not how so-and-so did it!" Every year is a toss up on whether we get to stay at...

    School Shootings

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I agree. The shooting that happened here in KY a few weeks ago has not gotten nearly the media attention, likely because (only) two kids died. What is that showing our troubled youth, the bigger you...

    School Shootings

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I thought about this in the shower last night (ya know, where all the deep thoughts happen) for those who are pro teacher carrying: Would you be able to shoot a kid? No snark intended, I asked Mr....

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Grobyc82's topic in General Nursing

    I work PRN on a surgical floor, so reading tele strips isn't requirement, thank goodness. I suck at rhythms. SUCK. Even after the 8 hour

    School Shootings

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I don't have one. And I'm not saying I completely disagree with arming certain teachers. But I would want to know more about it. Is the gun kept on the teacher? Will students know which teacher has...

    Should nurses be able to listen to music at work?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    I once had a co-worker absentmindedly humming "Ding-Dong The Witch Is Dead" as we were cleaning up a patient that had just passed. This was something she hummed quite often, but the timing was...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Schools in my state have started the process of arming teachers. My problem with this is: If a crazy kid(s) didn't have access to a gun before, they for sure do

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I honestly think they would want stricter gun laws, but also better background checks. And continuous monitoring of gun owners. I was in 6th grade when this happened, and I was very close to my uncle....

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Look, my uncle and cousin were gunned down and murdered in 1999. For a long time I was very anti-gun. "Who needs a hand-gun unless they are going to kill someone?" Was always my stance. As our country...

    I saw a report where he actually posted in September that he wanted to be "a professional school shooter" and was reported to the FBI, this information was never given to the local authorities. Then...

    Related but unrelated: It makes me SO mad that there were kids actually videoing during this event. Really kids? Really? There is an active shooter in your building, KILLING people, and you're posting...

    Here is what I can't seem to find anywhere: This article made it sound like kids went into a lockdown FIRST, then the fire alarm was pulled. How did he get into the school to pull the fire alarm? Or...

    We are the one of the only schools (if not the only) in the district that doesn't have a double set of doors. Most have the main doors, then a small vestibule with locked doors, making you go into the...
