    Famous person as patient?

    beachynurse replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    I took care of the parents of a pair of actors. The parents were absolutely delightful, kind, and never asked for special treatment. One of the children would bring a 6 pack of beer when visiting dad...

    Stolen supplies

    beachynurse replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    I would be having the biggest temper tantrum my Principal has ever seen if that had happened, especially at this time. I have my gloves and masks hidden and locked up, because I have had supplies...

    Asthma, no inhaler, WWYD?

    beachynurse replied to nursex23's topic in School

    I had a kiddo with a 504 for a food allergy for 2 years while in high school. The student was desensitized and we no longer had orders for the epi-pen. Mom was told that he was no longer eligible for...

    Asthma, no inhaler, WWYD?

    beachynurse replied to nursex23's topic in School

    I'm in a high school and always keep tea and coffee in my clinic, plenty of sugar and no cal sweetener (for the girls). I use this to treat mild wheezing or chest tightness when there is no inhaler...

    Have you found yourself blurring the professional boundary?

    beachynurse replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I can easily see how boundaries can be crossed. We may be nurses, but we are also human beings with feelings too. I have had many a child that I felt would have had a better chance of success in life...

    Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    beachynurse replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I leave the clinic for an emergency in a classroom. There is a note on my LOCKED clinic door that clearly states that the clinic is closed for an emergency, please wait in the front office or guidance...

    Parent harassing me in clinic

    beachynurse replied to KiddoRN73's topic in School

    Another thing to remember, is that the CPS reporting process is confidential. We do not need to discuss it at all with any parent at all. Our coordinator has a saying tht I really love, " The CPS...

    Parent harassing me in clinic

    beachynurse replied to KiddoRN73's topic in School

    The designee would be a clinic assistant. In my school division, no one but the nurse or the clinic assistant will touch the meds. They don't want the responsibility of having to deal with being...

    HR wants meeting or report me to BON

    beachynurse replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I probably would have consulted an attorney before going to the meeting. The attorney can advise you whether to go, not go, and if you do go what to say and not to say. This is a CYA situation. Best...

    Terrible experience with nursing staff

    beachynurse replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    This post makes me very sad. I don't mean this in a cruel way, but if you knew that you were going to move to another country, you should research important aspects of the place, like banking, health...

    I hate to tell you I told you so........

    beachynurse replied to EnoughWithTheIce's topic in School

    I actually can't stand ice.I have to give ice out whether it's indicated or not. If a kid asks for it I have to give it. I had a sub nurse not give it to a student that requested it and the...

    Bill Approved to Limit Treatment for Transgender Youth

    beachynurse replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I totally agree with you. I see students in my school waver back and forth between sexes, not sure about what they are, and experimenting to as you say, "find themselves" This is why I think that...

    Coping with emergencies at any time.

    beachynurse replied to tomn13's topic in School

    I am afraid I am going to have to agree with Mr.NurseX2 on this one. Being a school nurse for the last 16 years, this is definitely not a job that I would reccommend going into with no or limited...

    Toileting pre-k a nursing function?

    beachynurse replied to UpliftingRN's topic in School

    Neither was mine, and she was not pulled from the clinic to assist with toileting. She was considered clinic staff, and part of nursing, so therefore not a TA. It got bounced right back to the

    Toileting pre-k a nursing function?

    beachynurse replied to UpliftingRN's topic in School

    In all the school divisions I know, it is not a nursing responsibility, as it is not a medical task. Toileting is the responsibility of the TA. The nurse can train the TA, but it is not a nursing...

    Oversight from nonclinical staff?

    beachynurse replied to nursesunny's topic in General Nursing

    I totally understand where you are coming from. I am supervised by a non-medical administrator which has made things rather "difficult" for the last 3 years. She has undermined my nursing judgement,...

    Love school nursing, but can't pay my bills.

    beachynurse replied to jupitercrash's topic in School

    I agree that school nursing has benefits that you have to sacrifice for. I was certainly willing to make those sacrifices for the many benefits and have never regretted my decision once in 16 years....

    Wearing hoods inside your building.

    The rule used to be strictly enforced, however, now no one seems to care. Maybe I’m old school, but I believe in hats off in the building. I make them take them off in the

    Mailing Medication

    beachynurse replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    I'm not on the fence at all about this. Once the parents moved they abandoned the medication. I would call them and remind them to pick it up, but I am not driving halfwy to them to bring them the...

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    beachynurse replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the Army sends you to the wrong schools? My program was very rigorous, with classes that were not full of BS. Opinion essays? Now I know why I was terrified of military medicine when my ex...

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    beachynurse replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that it is relevant. If you don’t have the license, you haven’t started to accrue the experience needed in order to know the proper and appropriate way to plan your path to a goal you...
