    I made a mistake... anyone left?

    Jedrnurse replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    This is sort of a rite of passage. Mine involved a kid in a sped class whom staff said "was complaining of leg pain." Didn't see anything particularly out of sorts, kiddo was non-verbal with me, so I...

    It would be very easy to get 5 hours to replace the ones in question if you need to. There are lots of free online contact hours relating to seizures, asthma and diabetes, for example. Also, a lot are...

    Nurse forced to work as a CNA

    Jedrnurse replied to hillbillienurse's topic in General Nursing

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in School

    Hey, does anyone else get a little sloppy sometimes re: complaints of frequent flyers? I find myself going on auto-pilot more and more when being faced with my 99th "I feel like I'm gonna throw up."...

    Boy/Girl Who Cried WOLF Syndrome

    Jedrnurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Could you "split the difference" and send health office visit notes? (At least for the ones that you have no on-the-fence or actual serious concerns about.) I have a stack of fill in the blank notes...

    Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    Jedrnurse replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously? This forum is filled with stories of new grad nurses who can't get ANY job, and you want to advise someone who hasn't finished nursing school- let alone passed the boards- that they can...

    Anyone have any ideas about professional resume boosters? (Short of grad school- not quite able to take that on right now.) I have the NCSN cert. and will be taking the asthma educator exam in a few...

    Jedrnurse replied to vikivail26's topic in School

    While ASD people may present differently with somatic issues when sick, overall I've found SPED staff very quick on the "send 'em home" trigger. Set your limits, but also listen to their insights. The...

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in School

    Hi all. I was reminded of this pet peeve by the title of another topic on the site. Has everyone heard at least once (usually in school or in a training) "there's no such thing as a stupid question"?...
