    Can I vent a little?

    Jedrnurse replied to Avill's topic in School

    ...until something goes South, and then you're magically supposed to have known about what problem they didn't see fit to tell you

    I'd like to stop birthday treats at my school

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Maybe have a day of the month for all the kids with a birthday that month and limit the goodies to that one day. (Request some other way of honoring the individual kids on their particular b-day.)...

    Scary Nurses

    Jedrnurse replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    Let's not forget to state that the nursing management practices allowing this are just as (or more) scary, and "incompetent" in their own way. If these practices are known and allowed to continue, the...

    Nurse Practitioners: Shortage or Surplus

    Jedrnurse replied to shibaowner's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for this. I shake my head when a very strongly worded assertion is presented as fact and it's patently wrong... (fake nurse news, maybe?

    Lunch at 10 am!?!

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    It's another example of common sense being sacrificed in the name of high stakes academic over-programming. (Meal time is being treated as a scheduling "inconvenience".) Have to disagree about the...

    Is this a smart tactic in huddle...

    Jedrnurse replied to AnnoyedNurse's topic in Nurse Management

    It's the nursing management section of an online nursing forum- if you can't run this kind of question by other nurses here, why have one at all? OP- Was it done as kind of a "case study", or as more...

    considering quiting current new case

    Jedrnurse replied to undefeated-lvn's topic in Private Duty

    A bad attitude is being grumpy, rude and the such. This level of splitting/manipulation is not an attitude. It's behavior, and pretty consistent of those with

    MHA and RN program vs MPH with RN?

    Jedrnurse replied to confuerte's topic in General Nursing

    Sort of seems like apples and oranges, with the differences in job emphasis between the two. Do you prefer public health or

    Should I inform current employer of APRN license?

    Jedrnurse replied to MJC2118's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not sure exactly what you mean. I've known a few NPs that picked up RN shifts for extra money. They worked those strictly in a non-advanced practice

    6 months RN - become a school nurse?

    Jedrnurse replied to Lost_delirious's topic in School

    In my state, school nurses are required to have at least two years related experience. (as well as having other hoops/requirements to jump through) You'd be more comfortable in the specialty later on...

    Being a PRN school nurse Or home health nurse

    Jedrnurse replied to Tashad's topic in School

    I would guess that you'd get more consistent hours with home health. School subbing is really catch as catch

    National Certification Exam

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    It may be harder than you think when you take the actual exam; it can cover from A-Z with the age range being PK to High School. I used the School Nurse Resource Manual as one of my study guides. It...

    Hello all! (+ question)

    Jedrnurse replied to unexpectedllama's topic in School

    Diabetics SHOULD have a mid-morning and afternoon snack as part of their regimen, but it should be covered per their treatment plan, and hopefully be relatively "healthy". Food reinforcers are...

    How to get into management

    Jedrnurse replied to Ashley.Hop's topic in Nurse Management

    I get that you don't like bedside- it's become very crazy in a lot of settings, and nurses are not necessarily treated well by hospitals. I do have reservations about someone who doesn't like "hands...

    Overall employment in US

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, all. Just curious. I've been hearing about how unemployment in the US is down and some employers are starting to have issues filling jobs. Has anyone noticed job opportunities improving for...

    How do your students address you?

    Jedrnurse replied to River Song, RN's topic in School

    Nurse First Name; it carries over to the staff as well. If the kiddos try just the first name they get a gentle

    BSN or Biology

    Jedrnurse replied to allie127's topic in General Nursing

    Well, often this particular sentiment feeds into the stereotype that nurses are just frustrated doctors, probably not smart enough to go the distance. People ask me often if I wanted to be a doctor. I...

    BSN or Biology

    Jedrnurse replied to allie127's topic in General Nursing

    While nursing and medicine have obvious overlaps, they are different professions. Nursing is not "doctor lite". Also, you may want to consider that jumping onto a nursing forum, being a non-nurse, and...

    Should I Apply?

    Jedrnurse replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in School

    No offense. Would this be your first school nurse position? If so, doing it for the experience to lead to better paying jobs is understandable. If it's a place/district you intend to stay with, well,...

    Should I Apply?

    Jedrnurse replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in School

    Would you do it to get your "feet wet" in the specialty, or as a career? If it's for a career, you'll be doomed to low pay forever in that kind of salary
