1. Show Me Your Clinic!

   NurseSarahJP replied to NurseSarahJP's topic in School

   Thanks guys! I started this past monday. I'm working on a "Say Boo To the Flu" bulletin board, and have little foam pumpkins hanging on my desk right now. It's starting to get better, but wow is it sterile. We have the lovely cinder block walls.

2. Your Uniform....

   NurseSarahJP replied to Nurse24abc's topic in School

   In my school system, we have mostly "clinic attendants", not school nurses. It's explicitly stated in the handbook that you aren't allowed to wear scrubs, unless you are an actual nurse. I am. I wore "regular" clothes the first day and promptly sc...

3. Resignation/Sick Leave

   NurseSarahJP replied to NurseSarahJP's topic in Professionalism

   Yup. While I had FMLA in effect for this surgery, I put in my two week notice. In our employee handbook, it does clearly state that employees who resign cannot use designated sick time during their two week notice period. Our sick time is separate...

   NurseSarahJP posted a topic in School

   Hi Everyone! Brand new school nurse here and I'm probably just a tad bit too excited about it. Plus, I'm home recovering from a tonsillectomy and drugs are good. The clinic is empty except for a canvas mural, so I'm starting from scratch. I know ...

   Thank you again! I gave my notice earlier this week. They did deny my sick time. I have filed a short term disability claim, though I'm not sure that'll work either as I've given my notice. I'm going to try to return to work to finish out my noti...

7. Resignation/Sick Leave

   NurseSarahJP replied to NurseSarahJP's topic in Professionalism

   Thanks everyone. I was thinking of doing the notice on the 9/13, the Monday of my sick leave. It's a simple tonsillectomy. Yes, I do have a signed letter for the upcoming job, have already gone through all of the HR stuff to finalize everything. I wa...

8. Resignation/Sick Leave

   I am starting a new job on 9/28, but I haven't put in a notice with my current employer yet. I am having surgery this upcoming Friday (9/11) and am supposed to be out on sick leave for two weeks. I don't want to be a jerk and burn my bridges here, b...
