  1. Does anyone use CareDox?

    SaltineQueen replied to grammy1's topic in School

    Out district uses it, and has since shortly before I was hired last year. I think it's OK. Has some decent features. I can't stand the reporting & think they have a long way to go with

  2. When do you go back?

    SaltineQueen posted a topic in School

    One more week. I have one more week off before I head back on the 2nd. First student day is the 10th. I hope I have enough to keep me occupied...because I'm guessing most of you will still be...

  7. RN or DNP?

    SaltineQueen replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ALL nurses have high responsibility. And if money is the driving force in your decision, rethink your chosen career

  8. Verifying RN license

    SaltineQueen replied to AnnaMarieB's topic in General Nursing

    Could the "unofficial" results be wrong? They didn't have that when I tested. I showed up with my license number on my state BON site before I got anything

  9. Pressing charges against a patient for assault?

    SaltineQueen replied to coconut1031's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't go get checked out until after you got off work? Whose decision was this? Did you report it right away? I would get with your HR department about your issues & they could advise...

    SaltineQueen replied to ERgirlynurse's topic in General Nursing

  14. Interview tomorrow!

    SaltineQueen replied to Eshea21's topic in School

    Kiddo having an asthma attack does not have an inhaler at school. Another student does, who uses the same medicine. What do you do? An Amish child has puked & has fever. You cannot get a hold...

  15. What software do you use?

    SaltineQueen replied to 1mrsbs's topic in School

    CareDox. It's my first year, so I don't have anything to compare it to. It's ok...except the reports. Not nuts about

  16. New CSN--seeking advice

    SaltineQueen replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    Don't do this. It's a pretty good way to be passed over for the job. They can't not hire you because of the baby...but they'll think of something else. The year is almost over. I would maybe wait...

    SaltineQueen replied to drcricket's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to get a little something for the other nurses in my district for school nurse appreciation day. I need ideas. What would be cute, but not too

  24. Why would you give this up??

    SaltineQueen replied to 1mrsbs's topic in School

    Why do you do it if you hate it? Your kids deserve someone who is all in for them. Yes, it's a lot of "mommy skills" but so many kids need that. Lots of homes may not be the most nurturing. So if...

  25. 504 Plans

    SaltineQueen replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    My son has a 504 for ADHD. No need, in my opinion, for his meetings. Im getting a student next year with CF who will have a 504. I'll be in on that one, for sure. Unless it's a more complex...
