I'm not, and I still think that behavior is unprofessional in the work setting.

The chicken sandwich or the cheeseburger. Jews do not eat pork because they are cloven hooved animals that do not chew their cud. They don't eat shrimp because they do not have fins or scales. The animals that are killed are killed in a kosher slaugh...

Sigh, just let it rest.... and I don't recall you asking for advice. You commented just to be critical, and that is NOT supportive. Again, you have no idea what the terminology is in every state and or school division. Please keep any further comment...

Thank goodness you're done. I don't recall asking you for an opinion or advice.

I do not teach health classes, the PE department does. I am in a school division with over 100 schools, and 154 Nurses and assistants. I am not going to take the time I do not have in order to go before a hostile School Board that is trying to lose t...

I found a few websites that may help you. I have ADHD as well and I find it very difficult to stay on task as my meds wear off. I hope one of these helps. https://adhdatwork.add.org/adhd-accommodation-guide/ https://www.psychologytod...

Thank you for your attempt to correct londonflo. Our school division refers to us as medical professionals. We are well aware that we are not practicing medicine, and that we are nurses. Remember, each state, and school division may choose to use dif...

I have been a school nurse for the last 19 years of my 38 years of being a nurse. With all due respect, as a new grad LPN, you don't know everything there is to know. I know when I was a graduate RN, I definitely did not know half of what I thought I...

We do not do strep testing or COVID testing in our schools. We do Have COVID tests that we can provide for students that are going home with symptoms.. We also do not have a medical director to sign orders or protocols for everything. Our Health Depa...

I have had numerous students with Narcolepsy. All are on medications at home for it, and 1 takes meds at school. Some have 504's some don't. They have accommodations to be able to rest for 20 minutes in the clinic, if putting their heads down on a de...

My school has almost 2,000 students, and I have so many medications, daily, PRN, Emergent that I would need a giant cart to get them all out. Thank goodness I'm in a high school and all my diabetics are self carry- self administer, so they have all o...

I still have some of my papers from then, and a few books. There were no real formats that I saw or used.

I had to use all 3 formats in my BSN program. History classes use Chicago Tiburon. It was not fun having to learn how to use all of them. When I initially started school in what my daughter calls the prehistoric ages (1980), there were no formats. Yo...

I don't know what to tell you then....

Well, let me see if I can help you understand. If you are using a location app to let your patients see where you are, I was giving you a scenario of what can happen if a patient is told one thing and due to something that comes up a change needs to ...

I wish I could do that as well. Again, the motto here is "Don't piss off the parents" . That would definitely piss them off, and cause more headaches for me than I need. I would get phone calls complaining all day, my admin would too and then she wou...

I would not want to give my patients that much power over me. What if you tell them they will be third and an emergency comes up and they get bumped to 5th? They will be able to see that you made 2 stops prior to theirs. You are setting yourself up f...

I sure do! I have 2 huge closets full of clothing along with the drawers in a triple dresser, a chest, lingerie chest, and 1 of my nightstands. I do buy impulsively and sometimes I spend too much. I get depressed easily ever since my divorce, yes I a...

I was a triage nurse for many pediatric practices in my area. I really enjoyed doing it, and I'm thinking about trying it again as a second job to increase my income.

I went through something like this with my Mom. I am her Health Care Proxy, my brother is next and is her POA, and my cousin is third. My cousin requested medical records and was denied. She asked my brother to get the records for her and he was deni...

Virginia Law is different, anyone can report medical concerns. It also addresses medical provider reporting. This is directly from the Medical Review section of the DMV website. It also discusses confidentiality of the reporting. Report Submissi...

It does complicate things for girls.. And now we have the trans population and sometimes we aren't sure which biological sex they are in order to do the correct assessment. The kids and parents get offended when you ask, which I can understand in a w...

Sigh, it's much different in high school. Some students do come to us with real complaints of abdominal pain, and we work with them to not only assess the physical, but the emotional as well. Then there are the others.. A majority of our visits with ...

Or they were expecting not to have to do bedside nursing after graduating with their BSN. I saw a new BSN quit a hospital job day 1 on the unit because she thought that because she had the Bachelor's she would immediately be in a management position.

I agree with you. Years ago I was an agency nurse that worked in a massive teaching hospital. My findings were that the other nurses were extremely grateful to see me. My presence made a lighter load on them. But then, I believe you get what you give...
