    BeckyESRN posted a topic in School

  16. Sometimes more teachers than kids come to see me

    BeckyESRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    No way I would put up with that! I'm here for the kids, I'm not your personal nurse. I wouldn't assess your frequent flyer teacher, just tell her that she needs to see her doctor. I've only had a...

  18. Calling report to the floor.

    BeckyESRN replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    My husband and I work opposite shifts-I'm daylight 8-4 5days a week and he's nightshift 7p-7a 3days a week. It works well for us; someone is always home with the kids. Some parts of it suck, like I...
