    showering: before or after work

    OyWithThePoodles replied to peachypurple's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked at the hospital I would shower as soon as I came in at night, but wouldn't take another one the next morning before work. Now that I am a school nurse I don't get particularly nasty, so...

    What's Rude?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When a teacher comes in as I am mid-bite in my already rushed lunch, "I am at lunch and Johnny is sick, he's going to sit in here (and puke in front of you)". One of these days I am going to put on a...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Yes, summer was too short! I start back in two days, but we have a back to school bash tonight. I am at a different school this year, well, splitting two schools actually, but in the same district....

    Entitlement - Are We Making The Problem Worse?

    OyWithThePoodles posted a topic in School

    In regards to the sense of entitlement that these kids have nowadays. *shakes my granny fist* For example, the kid that came up that hurt his ankle a few days ago, wasn't wearing his splint, played...

    Phones Are Down...

    OyWithThePoodles posted a topic in School

    The phones are down in the whole school. Everyone else seems to be pretty excited about this... Not me. My job sort of depends on a phone, calling parents of an ill or injured child. I've had two that...

    But I'm the Nurse

    OyWithThePoodles posted a topic in School

    Maybe I am just grumpy today but... Kid comes in saying they got hit in the eye with a pogo stick (while repeatedly poking herself in the eye to show me how) and the gym teacher told her to come get...

    I have a nagging dilemma regarding an accident

    OyWithThePoodles replied to arnoldlayne's topic in School

    It is our school policy that a copy of the accident report go home with the student THE DAY it happens. Talk about rushed when the kiddo falls on the way to the bus. Sheesh. Central Office, the...

    I have a nagging dilemma regarding an accident

    OyWithThePoodles replied to arnoldlayne's topic in School

    I do an accident report on anything that I feel could potentially turn into a doctors visit, sprains, head injuries, etc. Mainly to cover my own tookas, but also the schools. Also, if our students...

    Did anyone else see that we made it on Facebook?!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to krystalkae's topic in School

    That is something I am always afraid of, it being posted on Facebook. If you read the comments on some of the posts people are downright mean! Usually non-medical people who have no idea what we do or...

    Calling in for no sleep

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    Side note: When someone calls in to my hospital they ask why, and you have to give them a reason (then they usually tell everyone on your floor why someone called in). I did not know until I joined...

    Patient Conscious During CPR

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have NO upper body strength. I'm talking-those puppies get tired when I fix my hair! That being said... The one time I personally had to give compressions was when the recipient was on the ground, I...

    Phones Are Down...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I could've blocked my number, but I would've had to give them that number to call back because the phones were down :) Luckily I only had to call a few before they brought in one phone for everyone to...

    Phones Are Down...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I'm sure she would love that! Any cell phone would likely not work in my office, it has the worst reception of the whole school. Boo. They brought us one phone to use today-somehow it is working?? So...

    Choosing between prek-8 or HS?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    I'm with Old Dude, I prefer the younger kiddos over high school. But I would much rather be at one location than two. Given those two options I would probably go with High School. Do what is best for...

    Being a pre-med is so overated

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    My first thought here was the cattiness that comes out between CNA'S and Nurses, and how nurses have said this exact thing. "We can do your job, but you cannot do ours." (Guilty) While this is true,...
