  2. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    We are the opposite. One small area of our school lost A/C in the last hour of the day yesterday. The rooms did start to get a little stuffy but stayed below 80 degrees until dismissal. Our entire...

    WineRN replied to cjl_RN's topic in School

  8. Med admin window

    WineRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

  11. Salary?

    WineRN replied to Lee824's topic in School

    ^^THIS^^ If you could afford a bigger paycut, then take it. As everyone else said, it varies a TON even within the same state. I took about a 40% pay cut when I first took the position. But I haven't...

    Back again! Entering my 1.5 year even though it feels like 10 at this point. lol We started 2 weeks ago and it has been chaos. Students with no documented food allergies showing up with epi pens, all...

    WineRN replied to Lex_pedsRN's topic in School

    Yes, a lot of my family believes I'm not a "real" nurse anymore. But even though i love them, i could care less about their opinion on this. Right now I'm in the middle of summer break with my...

    WineRN replied to Nurse2Kids's topic in School

    Similar to halo, I do stock some otcs for my staff but I make it clear that they are making the choice to take it and I hand the requested bottle to them to get their own doses. I will admit to...

  18. Can you explain a time when you feel like your nursing license was put on the line?

    WineRN replied to zurie's topic in School

  22. Grooming/Human trafficking

    WineRN replied to pedi_nurse's topic in School

    I would have given her name just because 14 year olds are so impulsive by nature I would be scared that if she has another fight with her mother (which at 14 years old may be more of a when not an if)...

    WineRN replied to SavyNurse's topic in School

    I love the idea of a generic letter to all families hitting dehydration, allergies and extra clothes (I might do this next year!) We have a few students who will not be here on this years field day...
