    School nursing and benefits

    Jedrnurse replied to 2BS Nurse's topic in School

    In my state (if you work for a public school) most districts allow you to "stretch" the paycheck out over the summer months, i.e. you get less money in each paycheck but there is no interruption in...

    Addressing Student Body Odor

    Jedrnurse replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I agree that it isn't strictly a medical health issue, but if there's a way to do the kid a solid, you'd certainly be setting him up for circumstances supporting optimal mental health. (Who doesn't do...

    QOL vs Preservation of Life

    Jedrnurse replied to MBar1's topic in General Nursing

    I think this idea tends towards a too carte blanche entitlement to limited societal healthcare resources. It's much easier to say (or demand) "do everything possible" when you're shifting the burden...

    Schools have cut down recess time and PE classes and still use withholding of recess as a disciplinary tool. All bad and counter-productive ideas. Many people know this. But it

    Jedrnurse replied to UpliftingRN's topic in School

    This doesn't exactly answer your content question, but I did something to involve the students. For each grade "cluster" i.e. K-1, 2-3, 4-5 I coordinated with the art teacher to have students create...

    Certificate increase chance of hire/ boost value ?

    Jedrnurse replied to ajin's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what the level of acuity at your rehab is, but maybe segueing into a sub-acute or LTACH job will burnish up your resume enough that FL acute care hospitals will show more
