    SaltineQueen replied to nurselife13's topic in School

    We have something called "Way to Go Awards" that we can give kids when we catch them doing something good and using the life skills we encourage. I've given those lots of times. It gets read on the...

  2. Field Trip Notification

    SaltineQueen replied to suzysunshine's topic in School

    I've never had a problem knowing. Our secretary puts out a "what's going on in the school" type sheet every week, so they're on there. Plus, teachers usually email me, or even the whole school, to...

    SaltineQueen replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

  5. Rules for next year

    SaltineQueen replied to guest464345's topic in School

    I'm with you on everything except #2...and maybe that's just because I have the littles & my clinic isn't crazy busy. I feel like every trip to my office is for a purpose. The kid may say she...

  9. New Nurse..Lost a pt. I didn't know ID hurt so deeply

    SaltineQueen replied to BSN_Studnt's topic in General Nursing

  10. What do you do when admin doesn't have your back?

    SaltineQueen replied to SnowDark38's topic in School

    My principals have always been very supportive of me, so I'm no help there. I'm sorry you're being questioned and admonished so often. Honestly, it doesn't sound like it's worth it. I'd call the...

    SaltineQueen replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

    SaltineQueen replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Could they be dehydrated? That could be the culprit along with the headache. Anxiety? Meds? I've never had one come back elevated that I've checked but I think you're doing what I'd

    SaltineQueen replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    That's great that you put so much effort & care into your work, and that your patients seem to love you. But...your employer doesn't owe you ANYTHING because of that. And you're sounding a bit...
