    Harrisonburg, VA

    magnoliablush replied to kmivey's topic in General Nursing

    I am in Lexington, about 1 1/2 hours from hburg. I’d say $23-28 with shift diff. And weekends. Depending on what specialty, maybe $26-30. Prison is about $30, and schools are low paying in the rural...

    Does anyone else get emotionally exhausted from this job?

    magnoliablush replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    Yes. Absolutely yes. Last week I had a situation which involved a student that was self harming. It was heartbreaking. Having heard the parent say that boys will be boys...and seeing this kids arms......

    Hesi Exit Exam to Nclex

    magnoliablush replied to JePierreB's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Please don’t worry. I did pass my Hesi, but it’s nothing like The NCLEX. I found the hesi to be random and difficult, whereas the NCLEX was on certain areas, which you already know per the...

    School Title

    magnoliablush replied to Keeperofbandages's topic in School

    Several of my high school kids call me “nurse lady” which I just roll my eyes to. Then they try again with Nurse first name. Some just call me by my first name, with a Miss added

    NCSN are you certified?

    magnoliablush replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    I am not. I am working on my BSN, so until I finish that, I can't. I will say that I am in a rural district. My pay will not increase. It is a small school, and small county. I am not positive I will...

    CPR Instructor

    magnoliablush replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I am. The school board paid for me to do it, but I really only got certified so that I can teach the high schoolers. Here in 10th grade we get the entire class certified in CPR/AED/FIRST AID. So, the...

    Got offered a school nurse job..over 2 weeks ago

    magnoliablush replied to nursex23's topic in School

    I was offered the job and then it took about a month until the school board met. I had to be "appointed" by the board, so it was normal for me. ? No worries, it should be fine. If you are concerned,...

    magnoliablush replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I’m in the mountains of VA, and it’s missing us mostly this time! Man, I don’t know...that’s a lot of snow. When we get over a foot, everything really comes to a standstill with these rural...

    OTC Meds and the 18 yr old student

    magnoliablush replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Our policy is the same no matter the age. Form signed by parent, meds in locked cabinet. I’ve had parents question me, saying their kid is 18, why am I calling...but I just state the policy. I kind...

    magnoliablush replied to hmarine88's topic in General Students

    This!! It’s good to have that healthy amount of fear in you! You are taking care of others lives. I think being in school you really do worry, but remember to check, then double check. If you are...
