  1. Fired from first hospital job

    Shellaaay10x replied to nurseblondie26's topic in General Nursing

  2. Introduction

    Shellaaay10x replied to nmr79's topic in School

    Welcome to school nursing! You'll have the little snowflakes that come in because of a hangnail and you'll have ones that were playing basketball and hit their head right on the concrete! Kids are so...

  3. RN Graduate Establishes Dominance

    Shellaaay10x replied to nicmdavi's topic in General Nursing

    I just meant that everyone should be treated equally. Just like the OP stated "I was never treated as a lesser equal" compared to the RNs she has worked for. I was just stating my personal previous...

  4. My husband wakes me up!

    Shellaaay10x replied to BabyRN_nights's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how to help you there unless you seriously sit him down and talk with him about how important you need your sleep. I used to work 6pm-630 am not getting home until 7 then finally falling...

  5. What's on your lunch menu?

    Shellaaay10x replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    Yikes 106gm?!?!?! Are you sure? I'm just asking because my t1d got a beef burger from the school and the nutrional list they sent us the carbs said "100". We had to ask the lady who is in charge of...

  6. Thanksgiving Break is Upon Us!

    Shellaaay10x replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    The one thing I get nervous about during this time is all the class parties with the diabetics wanting to eat every sugary thing they get their hands on while the teachers don't let us know until like...

  7. Been thought of as the bad guy?

    Shellaaay10x replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I've gotten yelled at by parents who "swore they turned the papers in" (dental/chdp- which I never received),who's daughters' "eyes were swollen" (no redness or swelling just slightly irritated from...

  8. Nurses with children always go home early?

    Shellaaay10x replied to Agatha12's topic in General Nursing

    Shellaaay10x posted a topic in School

    Hi everybody, I work for an elementary school as one of the support nurses. today a student came in with her finger splint off wrapped in coband/some sort of elastic wrap tape. We have no...

  10. Re wrapping splints?

    Shellaaay10x replied to Shellaaay10x's topic in School

    The whole thing was off. The wrap and the splint. I put the splint back on (which stabilized finger already) but I did not want to wrap it, which was previously wrapped in a coband-like bandage. (The...

  11. YOUR Childhood School Nurse memories

    Shellaaay10x replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I only went into the office 3x my whole school career, and that was senior high when I was dx with mono. I had a doc's note stating whenever I was tired I was free to go in and rest. it was boring and...

  12. Re wrapping splints?

    Shellaaay10x replied to Shellaaay10x's topic in School

    Of course I would not just send her on her way without doing anything, that is why I called the parent up to come reapply it. No way I would be aware of something and not do anything about it. We had...

    Thanks everybody for your input! I'm guessing everyone here would have rewrapped

  15. Re wrapping splints?

    Shellaaay10x replied to Shellaaay10x's topic in School

    I looked deeper into the situation and apparently that "athletic director" was the former "athletic trainer" for the high school. But I am not an athletic trainer, so no, I still would have not re...

  16. Re wrapping splints?

    Shellaaay10x replied to Shellaaay10x's topic in School

    Exactly! These directors are not medical doctors, and do not have medical background in order to make these calls. I wasn't even mad at her yelling at me about the "tape" I was just felt a little...

  17. Why are LPNS so underpaid and disrespected

    Shellaaay10x replied to Brnd-RN-1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I work in California in the Bay Area. It's great I work for 2 different schools. I give medications to the students that have them especially those with diabetes. We deal with everything. Sending...

  18. Why are LPNS so underpaid and disrespected

    Shellaaay10x replied to Brnd-RN-1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I work as a school support nurse. Those who know me know that I am a nurse. Many of the support nurses are LVNs or RNs, and when I started, my supervisor (the credentialed nurse) made sure to let...

  19. Medical Assistant - I want to be a nurse

    Shellaaay10x replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I am a lvn but a nurse regardless. I am not a RN. I did my medical assisting first to get my foot in the door, and I learned many valuable things. I worked in an outpatient surgery center and was...

  20. Have you ever had a student who thinks he/she knows more than you do?

    Shellaaay10x replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    I have a smart *ass* student that thinks he has the privilege to walk into my office whenever he wants and call his mom when he says he's not feeling well (his mom subs sometimes.) he came in once...

  21. Is it just me?

    Shellaaay10x replied to vvasq87's topic in School

    Today! Monday! I had about 16 students come in, all complaining of stomach aches. I literally had 9 students all at one time which I had to give a whole lecture about "if I do not have to call an...

  22. If you feel sick the nurse will call me and you can go home

    Shellaaay10x replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Ugh I hate that! When a child comes into my office saying they feel sick, I usually ask if their parents know and what they said. Some of them come in, totally fine and the first thing they say is...

  23. Do you enjoy being a school nurse?

    Shellaaay10x replied to walkingonsunshine's topic in School

    I am a lvn here in the Bay Area and I work as a support nurse under what they call the credentialed nurses. The credentialed nurses are the ones that take care of the iep's, screenings, etc. I work...

  24. I hate nursing

    Shellaaay10x replied to Neezy84's topic in General Nursing
