    How some kids are being raised...

    While there certainly is (and probably always has been) a "Kids-These-Days" syndrome, there are also certain measurable things that support the idea that kids' agency/resilience/independence is less...

    How some kids are being raised...

    I know! Plus the rationales for visits. Kids get up from their seats and bump their thighs/knees against the underside of their desks. Yeah, I know, it smarts- we've all done it. But really, you...
  6. Yes! It's like listing "nursing school" as experience when it's already under education. Everybody does the same basic rotations. If something special or unusual came up during your clinicals, the...

    Where to Draw the Line...?

    Hi, all. I'm currently in a private school (been there since their Summer camp in 2021). The salary is good, benefits are meh, but the main issue is the unending job description and lack of...

    Where to Draw the Line...?

    I told them a couple of months back that I was going away this Summer and wouldn't be available for the Summer camp. I had a feeling that they'd still be expecting me to do the prep work without extra...

    Annoyed Parent

    Sounds like a tough situation as it relates to staffing- teachers probably have to do a lot of what they wouldn't normally do if there was a full-time nurse on site. I'd maybe (diplomatically) ask...

    Lost CEUS

    I've never been audited. Hopefully it'll be a good long time (or never) for that to happen to you. The length of time that they go back depends on the individual state BON. Tip- scan your...

    Two-Headed Snake Bully Nurse

    RNs Replacing Registered Respiratory Therapists?

    I certainly wouldn't be shocked if a for-profit corporation eliminated the specialty and dumped the lion's share of the additional duties on staff

    Seeking Constructive Feedback

    Maybe " Thanks. It's always nice to hear somebody else's hacks/tricks. I've been doing this for (fill-in-the-blank) years but once in a while I just hit some bad luck." I think it establishes...

    Leaving Job - Advice For Giving Notice

    Student Burned At School

    2nd degree on the chest of a student with diabetes? Schools are community settings, not healthcare, and tend to land on the cautious side. Honestly, it probably could have been almost concurrent- ask...
