  2. How much $$$ ?

    SaltineQueen replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Edited to say: If I want cute things to decorate my office, I pay for those types of things. Educational posters, budget. I wanted a desk lamp so I could turn the overhead lights off if I had a...

  3. How much $$$ ?

    SaltineQueen replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I have a pretty healthy supply budget, it's my responsibility to purchase what I need/want for the clinic. I'm also very blessed to have organizations in the community that give donations of money,...

  4. Pre-nursing: How to answer NCLEX q's before RN school (or mastering them)

    SaltineQueen replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think your worry about this is WAY too premature. You have all of new nuring school to learn how to answer NCLEX questions. That's what nursing school is all about. But, since you asked, start...

  10. Just accepted job, now may be pregnant

    SaltineQueen replied to RNtoBe14's topic in General Nursing

    You're a female with child-bearing ability, presumably having intercourse. There is always a chance you may be pregnant. That's how I'd explain it if asked. But I wouldn't say anything until 3-4...

  11. Minor Questions

    SaltineQueen replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    We use CareDox, which I believe is free. I don't know all the in & outs, but I believe they do get non identifiable data from us. Some people really poo-poo CareDox because of that, but they are...

  12. Lice policy?

    SaltineQueen replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Pretty much the same as what you do, but if parents aren't able to pick up right away, the student may be in class until end of the day with the expectation that parents will treat that evening. Nits...

  13. Best end of year complaint

    SaltineQueen replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I don't know. This teacher drives me nuts. She will send kids for any little cough, sneeze, and head

  14. Screening questions

    SaltineQueen replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    You can share if there's a "legitimate educational interest." I'd say the teacher has a legitimate educational interest in knowing if there's a potential problem. Kids that test fine, I don't say...

  15. Best end of year complaint

    SaltineQueen replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I've got a good one! Although, I'm sorry I missed it...I had my son at the orthodontist this morning (my secretary covers for me). A teacher sent a little kinder kiddo down for a temp check because,...

  16. Do you ever do nothing for your student?

    SaltineQueen replied to pernella's topic in School

  19. Just had to Heimlich a kid

    SaltineQueen replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Yay for you! Teachers in my state are required to get CPR/First Aid certification to renew their license. Good idea. We STRONGLY suggest all cafeteria monitors are, as

  20. Health teaching

    SaltineQueen posted a topic in School

    I'm curious how much health teaching you all do?? I'm in a K-3 building, so the kids are only here 6 hours a day. I know teachers have a LOT to do in those hours, but I'd like to get in the...

  21. How do I defend myself against this?

    SaltineQueen replied to Bluebird56's topic in General Nursing

    Well, did you do it? If you did & are trying to weasel your way out of it, get representation to help you. If you didn't & you need help convincing your boss, get representation to help...

  22. Boosting Immune system

    SaltineQueen replied to WineRN's topic in School

    I rarely get sick, and I don't do anything different. Do you get enough sleep? Maybe some vitamin

  23. Soon to be nurse student needs advice

    SaltineQueen replied to Béltéfí's topic in Nursing Career

    Wrong forum...we're school nurses, not people in nursing school...but I'll give my two cents. I might consider taking a few more electives, maybe science or math related, to get your GPA up, before...

  24. Re-entry after 8 years leave

    SaltineQueen replied to patriciabear1's topic in General Nursing

    There are many, many online RN-BSN programs. I would suggest starting with your state schools to keep tuition down. I assume you've kept your license active all this time? If not, you'll need to...

    SaltineQueen replied to OldDude's topic in School

    I'm going to have to start doing this. Last week a teacher said: blah, blah, blah..."I gave him an ice pack I had in my freezer" blah, blah, blah. I didn't hear anything after because my brain...
