    pre-employment physical

    Jedrnurse replied to curiousnurse447's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. I don't think omitting/not mentioning a past fracture has anything to do with anything, especially the Board. If there are ongoing issues related to it, that's another story. I don't...

    Missouri School Nurses - BinaxNOW Rapid Testing

    Jedrnurse replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Thank you for these. Unfortunately the DPH in our state is going above and beyond. I noticed that there was "wiggle room" in the FDA responses. (Which is how it should be, but our DPH and Dept of ED...

    Missouri School Nurses - BinaxNOW Rapid Testing

    Jedrnurse replied to Cattz's topic in School

    I reviewed the DESE powerpoint from the Binax webinar. It didn't mention following up a positive with a PCR, just a negative. Did you see that somewhere else in the huge amounts of materials that DESE...

    Missouri School Nurses - BinaxNOW Rapid Testing

    Jedrnurse replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Yeah, the standing order is a key to it. At this point, the only way a person with a negative test would be sent back to class is if they present with one of those "exception" symptoms, I.e. headache...

    Missouri School Nurses - BinaxNOW Rapid Testing

    Jedrnurse replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Honestly, in that respect I don't feel it's that different from doing a blood sugar and/or ketone test or one of those multi-test urine dip sticks... I'm more concerned about the "oh, I'll send...

    Is Camp "On" for Summer?

    Jedrnurse replied to ruby_jane's topic in Camp

    I read that there were a couple of epic bubble failures this past Summer. (I think the most publicized was in GA). Maybe the vaccine will be in wide distribution by next Summer and things will ease up...

    Sick Student Policy

    Jedrnurse replied to AllieEmerson's topic in School

    It's good to know about the "atypical" presentations - it makes being strict more palatable. As to the kiddos coming back positive, how has it been going with the quarantining for their close...

    New grad from online RN program with ZERO CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

    Jedrnurse replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    I thought that accredited programs needed to have a certain number of clinical hours and that that was also a requirement of sitting for the NCLEX. This is not the

    Jedrnurse replied to Emmeline22's topic in General Nursing
