  2. Student/Nurse Confidentiality at High School

    WineRN replied to RNschoolnurse's topic in School

    Agreed. I work close with my two counselors, but I don't know exactly who they are actively seeing at a given time, so if someone comes in having a real tough day due to social/school/home/life...

  5. "Thats the nurses job!"

    WineRN replied to ABRN2012's topic in School

    This blows my mind. I have around 450 in my school currently and there are days where I feel like I spend the entire day putting out fires and go home exhausted. I could never handle so many students...

  6. Admin just not getting it

    WineRN replied to ABRN2012's topic in School

  7. HIPPA/ Student confidentiality?

    WineRN replied to Avill's topic in School

    I talk with the nurses in my district all the time about things like that. As everyone else said, as long as the student can't be identified it should be fine. There are sometimes when I transfer a...

  9. Preparing for mass casualty events

    WineRN replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    All of the nurses in my district attended it and it was by far the best PD day we have ever had. I HIGHLY recommend it because it goes over not just what to do in MCEs but how to create a emergency...

    WineRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

  15. Camp Nurse?

    WineRN replied to marsbar37's topic in School

    Good For you! And keep your head up! I think finding your first position is always the toughest. I started in a time when hospitals near me were going through hiring freezes and I thought I would...

    WineRN replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    WineRN replied to wonderfullyanonymous's topic in School

    As others said, you can't beat the schedule. No forced overtime, no holidays or weekends, or being called in on days off is glorious. And for me personally the extra time it gives me with my daughter...

    WineRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Is there any where you can refer staff too? Some districts work with wellness programs for staff stress. For student anxiety, I would suggest looping in your counselors if you can. There is only so...
