    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    Thank you! The notice stays up until April 15, so interviews should be shortly after. I'm hopeful they don't wait too long, or God forbid, wait until the summer. Lol. I just want to know one way...

  5. SNHU Online RN to BSN Program

    kummerspeck replied to AlwaysLearning247's topic in General Nursing

    The courses are a letter grade, not pass/fail. They are CCNE accredited, so there are no issues with that. It may be a "cheaper" online school, but it is a really good program. I've found it very...

  6. We've all been venting

    kummerspeck replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    This guy sounds like he's in desperate need of a glitter bomb.... Sorry you're having to deal with it. Just like teachers, (and I can say that, I used to be one), principals have no idea what we do....

    kummerspeck replied to Duncan6's topic in School

    kummerspeck replied to Grizzyguy's topic in School

    In the school I am at most of the time, we have diabetics who each have this defined in their individual diabetic plan from the doctor. Nursing judgment must also play a part here. You need to know...

    kummerspeck replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    kummerspeck replied to melis1970's topic in School

    On top of my part time school nurse position, I sub for my district. I think I am one of about maybe...4-6. We have 18 schools. Some of our subs won't go to all the schools. Our district pays...

  17. What to do ?

    kummerspeck replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

  18. How to create a safe space

    kummerspeck replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    It is. I've had a weird feeling all week that I couldn't figure out at first, it's how I feel every time a lose someone I love. And this has shaken the ground beneath our feet. There have been...

  19. How to create a safe space

    kummerspeck replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    My son is a Muslim, black, immigrant, so he has a trifecta of ways in which people at his school have used to bully him, especially since the campaigns started. He has been told multiple times that...

    The school nurse I relieve in the afternoons had a very close encounter with a paper cutter today. Practically cut her finger off. Those things are evil. I didn't even realize they still had them...

  22. Doctor's note for "Chew Toy"

    kummerspeck replied to clockwood's topic in School

    Precisely what oceanblue52 said above. You are an advocate for the students there. If it is not a part of the IEP, then a meeting can be held (have the parents request it, if need be) so that this...

  24. What does your school do for Halloween?

    kummerspeck replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    My district kind of lets each school decide. Some do a fall festival, others let the kids dress up on Halloween. (No clowns this year, of course!) The grade school my daughter attends is letting...

  25. Exciting week

    kummerspeck replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I am pretty much dead right now to a few family members and friends who can't fathom why I would remain a loyal Indians fan when I am from Illinois.
