    What is on your Health Bulletin Board right now?

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I have three health questions of the month posted on my board. (k-1, 2-3, 4-5) In my office are ballot boxes for answers. At the end of the month I post the answers on the board. Three times a year, I...

    Blindsided by a colleague.

    Jedrnurse replied to tch1920's topic in School

    I agree with the first half of your statement, but not the second. This co-worker went nuclear; being super sweet is not the right response. You're only a rug if you let people walk on

    Nurse Self Evaluation

    Jedrnurse replied to Schoolnurse73's topic in School

    We have to set goals towards the beginning of the year and post "evidence" supporting meeting these goals. It actually makes it more straight forward, e.g. "I will run a lice education group." (Then...

    5 8s or 4 10s???

    Are you sure it would really be 10 hrs? I know a 12 hour shift is almost never only 12

    Accept a job in an unwanted specialty?

    Jedrnurse replied to evee2212's topic in General Nursing

    You can get some decent experience, and let's face it, a paycheck. An outpatient surgery position wouldn't preclude you from working inpatient at a later time. Go for

    Jedrnurse replied to heavenwith7's topic in School

    I get "healthy" baseline peak flows as well, and compare that with current numbers, along with breath sounds, O2sat and subjective complaints. If their SOB resolves with just a quick break and a glass...

    NCSN results

    Jedrnurse replied to Kittery's topic in School

    It took 6 weeks for me to get results. Our Department of Education allows us to use certification in lieu of a master's degree for professional status. I may start in on a master's regardless, but...

    Jedrnurse replied to newgradrn2016's topic in General Nursing

    Jedrnurse replied to WineRN's topic in School

    Maybe you shouldn't wait until that point. If they experience the issue sooner, perhaps they'll work up a real contingency

    Asking me to go against policy

    Jedrnurse replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    So essentially they want you to rubber stamp their decision. (If there's any question, they'll certainly hide behind the statement "the nurse sent them home.") I, too, have seen some SPED teachers...
