  1. "just" a school nurse rant

    kummerspeck replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    School nursing is public health nursing period. I think it's great that you are aspiring to be a school nurse. I just work p/t right now, but hopefully I will be full time in the fall as a school...

  2. What is your dream job?

    kummerspeck replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I know I would enjoy it. But my husband is dead set against my having a job where my income would just go straight back to my employer. I don't understand

  3. "just" a school nurse rant

    kummerspeck replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    I am so sorry to hear about your family member on hospice. Hang in there. Family members often have no idea what they say hurts..especially with a comment like this. Aside from working as a school...

  4. How do I answer this question in an interview?

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    I made it through first round interviews, and now I interview Tuesday for the "final" interview. My district moves at a snail's pace, so we will see how long it takes them to actually call me one way...

  5. How do I answer this question in an interview?

    kummerspeck posted a topic in School

    So I interview Friday for four different school nurse positions in my district. (I currently work p/t in the district and my principal has sang my praises repeatedly and loudly, and the chances I...

  7. What is your dream job?

    kummerspeck replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    My dream job would start with having ONE job, and not doing geriatric care full time and school nursing when I get the chance. Mix that one job with being a school nurse, that would be my ultimate...

  8. How do I answer this question in an interview?

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    It's not supposed to be. I think that there are pros and cons to being where my kids are, and I don't want to put off the middle school because I would be just as happy here, and don't want to put...

  9. How do I answer this question in an interview?

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    My part time gig is in an elementary school, but I have subbed a great number of times at the middle school level (and in the middle school with an opening). I have really enjoyed the different way...

  10. How do I answer this question in an interview?

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    I have asked them which position they hope that I get and it is always a resounding "where we will be in high school." So if it happens, I may have them put in writing they're glad I am going to work...

  11. Am I being a jerk

    kummerspeck replied to janetpa's topic in School

    I don't think I could have handled that as well as you did. I don't think any of the nurses I work with would think that was funny at

  12. What questions to ask them in an interview?

    kummerspeck posted a topic in School

    I have been having a heck of a time getting back on here! I've read posts but this week has just been whacked! Last year I kind of spaced on this. I had researched a lot about the district, and knew...

  13. What questions to ask them in an interview?

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    Great questions! I know the answers to the first two 3/4 retirement, long time in all positions, and then 4th was hired last year, and is moving due to a spouse. These are great and I wrote...

    These comments have made me giggle for

  15. How do I answer this question in an interview?

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    I think for two of my three, it would be really good for them, and the other one would be ambivalent. The nice thing is at our high schools, there are two nurses on staff, so if my kids came down,...

  16. School Nursing capstone project idea?

    kummerspeck posted a topic in School

    Hi! Next week I start my BSN capstone (I graduate in July, thank goodness). I have to come up with a subject for my capstone and I would really like to do something pertaining to school nursing, as...

  17. Last day?

    kummerspeck replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    We had to petition our state to get out of 2 snow days, and we finish up on June 20th. My kids are going to be

  18. School Nursing capstone project idea?

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    Yes, research available will be how I decide on a topic in the end, as struggling to find information is a pain. Concussions are a great topic, and with all of the talk about them in the past few...

  19. School Nursing capstone project idea?

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    That is awesome! Yes, my whole big city has it in every school. None of the schools have ever had to use it (yet), but I have sat over a geriatric patient at my other job while EMTs administered it,...

  20. School Nursing capstone project idea?

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    I think this would be an excellent capstone project. And something that you can use since you have had to unfortunately experience this issue. Currently, I am looking up research about mental health...

  21. School Nursing capstone project idea?

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    I think your first suggestion may be my fave. I am so interested in school nursing due to the community health aspect of it, and this would pull that in very well. These have all given me a lot to...

  23. School Nursing capstone project idea?

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    I am sure! We have 7.5 weeks left in NH and everyone is on the verge of the end of year paperwork! Those are very interesting subjects! I also was thinking pain management, my district does not...

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

  25. Fidget Spinners

    kummerspeck replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    They're all over our middle schools and getting banned. Which is frustrating because I was about to buy my 7th grader one because of his hyperactivity. No fidget cube for him
