    I now remember that you talked about a field trip. And someone said you could sing "99 bottles of Beer". So I figured you'd add a little spice and sing something different. I see my attempt at humor...

    Question ladies...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to zacofalltrades's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in LPN school we did EKG's on each other. BUT, we were a class of all females, kept our shirts on, and had the option to opt out. This seems

    My husband sent me this email last week: He's kind of a dork, but I'll take it. We will be going to dinner and then chaperoning prom for his FMD class, he works in a different district than...

    C'Mon Now!

    Back when I was subbing I had to run from the school to the field house for a kid that collapsed. Why they need a field house so dang far from the school is beyond me. By the time I got there I was so...

    Why would you give this up??

    OyWithThePoodles replied to 1mrsbs's topic in School

    Having financial issues is tough. I make much less than I did at the hospital, and I won't lie, it sucks. But the stress of money is far less than the stress I had working at the hospital. I stayed...

    I just tell my husband I am allergic to exercise. I am on the small side, so people think I am in shape. WRONG. You'd think I smoked a pack a day with the way I breathe after walking a flight of...

    Yeah...It would probably take me 15 minutes to do a mile, and then I would need to see the nurse for my upper legs burning and itching. I am incredibly out of

    Seems parents aren't parenting

    I only text the parents that I know wont text me after hours for "nursing" advice on the whole family. I will text and even facebook message some parents that I know on a personal level (went to...

    Right?! And usually the "mad" parent is like #3 on the list. #1 Being the live-in parent, #2- the live-in step-parent, and then them. I will call until I get someone, but I do not have time to call...

    It seems like we are darned if we do, darned if we don't, and until someone has walked in our shoes they wont know what it's like. I have moms get mad at me for NOT calling them at work. I will call...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Feral.Cat.Herder's topic in School

    100% agree, and our district cannot give OTC antipyretics. So the 103 temp I tried calling you about 2 hours ago, is likely creeping up well past 104 now. I completely understand that you cannot keep...

    This is what I did, except it is frowned upon for me to email the staff without notifying the principal. So I went to her and told her about a blood trail down the hallway being an infection control...

    School Nurses, How are you Paid??

    OyWithThePoodles replied to anita07's topic in School

    Bi-weekly. An hourly rate for a set number of days (187) divided over 24 pay periods. I'm told, like Far, that we get a big check at the beginning of the summer that covers those

    Up the Nose and In their ears

    OyWithThePoodles replied to missriss65's topic in School

    I wanted to call the dad and give him an earful (pun intended) on the damage he could've done! That's like the kid that had a cut about 1/2 inch from his eye, it needed a stitch or two, or at least...
