    Subbing at my son's elementary and the district

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Kbearden's topic in School

    I subbed before becoming full time. I did two hours of orientation at each school during their "busy" time (the big medical procedures, or insulin times). The nurses I subbed for always left great sub...

    Student with scoliosis?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Pleasetelltruth01's topic in School

    Agree with OD. How bad is the scoliosis? Are they under medical treatment? I had a student that had surgery to correct her scoliosis and if she got hit in the back or on certain days she would just...

    Would you pray with a student?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    If a student requested, in a heartbeat. We pray at staff meetings and I have a Bible verse on my wall. I would not initiate but if the student asked me to I would. Am I "wrong" for that, maybe. But...

    Missing physicals/Dental Exams

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    The only thing we (in our district) can exclude for is immunizations. Parents know this so they don't really care if they turn the paper work in.

    Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    I pumped for about 15 minutes. Or until I got my second letdown, sometimes that would happen after 10 minutes and I would thank my lucky stars because it meant I could get back to work. I never took...

    Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    I pumped three times during a 12 hour shift, for about 15 minutes each time. While doing this I would be charting at the same time. I would also get regular phone calls on my work phone. I even had...
