  1. Where is your office located within the school?

    SaltineQueen replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Right off the main

  2. New mom RN pumping at work

    SaltineQueen replied to lovemycat's topic in General Nursing

    This honestly never crossed my mind. I went the the lactation consultant's office to pump. It was just a floor below mine & she rarely had someone in there when I went down. So, plenty of...

  3. Why don't parents

    SaltineQueen replied to Feral.Cat.Herder's topic in School

    I'm not so sure that's correct. If I'm thinking about the correct kiddo, mom's number tells me this when I call, but I can email a text message to

  4. CBD administration in schools - thoughts?

    SaltineQueen replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    ? I must be really curious...I posted about this back in August. Any changes in your thoughts on the subject? Our school board doesn't have a policy as of yet, but I imagine it's coming in the not...

  5. a-hem...

    SaltineQueen replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    The cool kids do...but I usually don't get to sit at that table. I remember you & I'm not even crusty! Welcome back. I just put my countdown on my desk calendar. 40 days (36 for the kiddos).

  6. Why don't parents

    SaltineQueen replied to Feral.Cat.Herder's topic in School

    YES! I also love when voicemail is full, even better when I mention it to the parent and they say, "I know." I cannot imagine being apart from my children for several hours a day and not being...

  7. STOP!!!

    SaltineQueen posted a topic in School

    Telling your kids, "Just try. If you really don't feel good I'll come get you." Just stop. Guarantee they really won't feel good and there will be no magic words I can string together to talk...

  8. Allergies vs Pink Eye

    SaltineQueen replied to sweetsadie's topic in School

    Within this really good thread, there is a link to another really good thread with pink eye

  9. Monkey Bars

    SaltineQueen replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    I was the same way. I loved "whirly, twirly, make you puke" rides at amusement parks, too. And then a couple of years ago I went on a ride like that at our county fair with one of my kids. It took...

  10. Monkey Bars

    SaltineQueen replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    I scraped my ankle up pretty good on the merry-go-round when I was in 4th grade. My two best friends were so mad at me that I wouldn't go tell anyone. The girl drama was strong even back

  11. Monkey Bars

    SaltineQueen replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    I know! We have to have someone monitoring the play and our principal had to come up with a schedule of which grades can play which day - because sometimes grades overlap out there. Kids have...

  12. Monkey Bars

    SaltineQueen replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    Do you guys know about GaGa ball? I'm ready to rip that pit out. SO many mangled, meaty knuckles from that

  13. Does anyone else get emotionally exhausted from this job?

    SaltineQueen replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    Yes! I have a relatively "calm" school. Only about 300 kiddos, no major health issues. But when I get home I sit in my chair & could easily crack off a nap most

  14. Valuing each other's time

    SaltineQueen replied to Flare's topic in School

    41

  15. What the hot fudge is going on here?!?!?

    SaltineQueen posted a topic in School

    People...we are going back decades! Diseases once thought to be almost completely eradicated are going to become commonplace again. This is not good!...

  16. Tell me about your sub coverage

    SaltineQueen replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    We have a pool of maybe 6 nurses. A couple are parents of kids in the district, others are just nurses one of us knows and asked if they'd be willing to be a sub. They all work in hospitals, so...

  17. Should I stay or should I go now...

    SaltineQueen replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    The pension, for me at least, is nothing to brag about. But a nice little perk. Would you change

  18. RN can’t find work

    SaltineQueen replied to queen74's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a good explanation for why you've been out of work for two months - why did you leave before you had another job lined up? Could that be playing into

  19. Nurses Are So Bossy...

    SaltineQueen replied to gehrig592's topic in General Nursing

    Did you get every IV on the first attempt when you were a nurse? Doubt it. Missing the first stick isn't a screw up. It's pretty hard to actually screw up putting an IV in...I guess unless you go...

  20. Student sues Health Dept. (2nd verse, same as the first)

    SaltineQueen replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    His argument isn't even valid! He's worried about not being able to finish his basketball season. They canceled everything!! And even the Catholic Church came out in support of vaccines, so that...

  21. What the Buckeye?

    SaltineQueen posted a topic in School

    Please, Ohio, don't pass this.

  22. Working on weekends!

    SaltineQueen replied to PubSub's topic in General Nursing

    If this magical unit exists, there is likely a long line ahead of you wanting to get in there. I second outpatient surgery or doctor office, but OPS is tough to get into usually (for the...

  23. CNA to RN

    SaltineQueen replied to Mary3010's topic in General Nursing

    I was not a CNA before I went to nursing school. I think it would have been very beneficial, but obviously not necessary. It's not a quicker path to being an RN but it will expose you to a lot of...

  24. Countdown to Spring Break.....

    SaltineQueen replied to AdobeRN's topic in School

    That's cruel & unusual

  25. School Fundraisers

    SaltineQueen replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Our school does the typical fundraiser type sale of overpriced junk. Our PTO has a carnival, haystack dinner & silent auction. The previous nurse did a 5K walk/run for our health committee funds....
