  1. Another lice thread :)

    SaltineQueen posted a topic in School

    So, I figured it's high time for another lice thread. What's it been? Three..four days? My my distric has a "no live lice" policy, so I had to send a little guy home this week. An hour or so...

  2. Pregnant and starting new job

    SaltineQueen replied to Xojessicaox549's topic in General Nursing

    I was visibly pregnant when I was applying for jobs before graduation. Even still, I didn't mention it. Didn't hinder me. If anything, I think your pregnancy will protect your job. I still say...

  3. Pregnant and starting new job

    SaltineQueen replied to Xojessicaox549's topic in General Nursing

    A. I'm sorry that happened to you. B. I hope you went to the police. You still can if you didn't. C. Don't lie. You're a grown up. If you're already hired & this is just a formality they...

  4. Do RNs do a lot of heavy lifting?

    SaltineQueen replied to TimTamJimJam's topic in General Nursing

    Shame on any nurse who thinks turning, lifting, repositioning, etc., is below her or someone else's job! There is nothing an RN should delegate that she isn't willing to do herself. Because...

  5. help! presentation for interview

    SaltineQueen replied to nurseedu16's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think you're over thinking this. I assume, at least is hope, women's health interests you. This shouldn't be difficult. Pick a topic you're particularly passionate about & think of what you...

  6. Expunged charges and licensure

    SaltineQueen replied to kristen312's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    When in doubt, say yes & send a letter of explanation. It's worse if they find something that should have been disclosed that

  7. Heart month activities

    SaltineQueen posted a topic in School

    I'm looking for ideas for fun activities, handouts, etc. for Heart Month in February. I figured we'd have a "Wer Red" day, all grades will have a healthy heart presentation. What are some things you...

  10. The dreaded topic...lice

    SaltineQueen replied to nyy2's topic in School

    For God's sake. Although, as a child of lawyers, I suppose I owe a debt of gratitude to our over litigious

  11. The dreaded topic...lice

    SaltineQueen replied to nyy2's topic in School

    New school nurse, so I have a lot to learn. My school district did away with their no not policy this year, but whole class checks - in the instance of multiple cases in the room - were mentioned to...

  14. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    SaltineQueen replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    I don't know where you got that impression! It's completely incorrect! Night nurses so assessments, they pass meds. Dressings need changed in the night sometimes. Patients need auctioned all...

    SaltineQueen posted a topic in School

    Hi! Shiny new school nurse here! Eight days under my belt before Christmas break. I work in a K-3 school of about 300. Already there are some kids I can't stop thinking about. One of them came...

  17. please help!

    SaltineQueen replied to rose_12's topic in School, College Programs

    I would call the college & talk to someone in the nursing program about their specifics. Depending on on what kind of nursing you want to do, you may need an RN. Hospitals in my area no longer...

  18. Pearson Trick

    SaltineQueen replied to Bhasse08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Possibly the fact that you used some sort of "trick" (???) to try to pass your licensing

  19. Lavender?!

    SaltineQueen replied to huffmannurse's topic in School

    This has been an interesting read. I was just thinking about diffusing something in my office, because after eight whole days on the job I'm sick. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. I suppose,...
