  1. Exciting week

    kummerspeck replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I had just moved here the year the White Sox won! I was definitely alone in my

  2. Ugh, I HATE Conjunctivitis

    kummerspeck replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Suddenly districts all over the US are wondering why all of their school nurses are out

  3. Exciting week

    kummerspeck replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Yup. Epstein has made his mark. I'm in NH and people here are pretty much all about the Cubs, too. I'm always the

  4. Stress

    kummerspeck replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    Everyone manages their stress in different ways, too. Some thrive in stressful situations while others wallow in it. I used to be a school teacher and the stress I had then versus now is different,...

  5. What can I do about a student who gets rashes constantly at school?

    kummerspeck replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    Nail on the head. My first thought was that she should see a dermatologist. Good luck, sounds like a tough

  6. If you have had various nursing experience

    kummerspeck replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    My resume is two pages, because I'm not about to leave off any pertinent experience. I figure that if that irritates a future potential employer, then so be it. One page resumes seemed to be more...

  7. Ugh, I HATE Conjunctivitis

    kummerspeck replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We just had a state SN conference where an optometrist came and told all of us that the kids with viral conjunctivitis should stay home at LEAST a week. You should have seen the look on all of our...

  8. Exciting week

    kummerspeck replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I live in Red Sox nation, so all I'm hearing from everyone out here is that there is a former Red Sox GM who is responsible for their success. Because apparently the players aren't involved. I'm...

  9. SNHU Online RN to BSN Program

    kummerspeck replied to AlwaysLearning247's topic in General Nursing

    I took stats first, on its own, could have taken that with something else. I took diversity alone, too, which I should have paired with stats. Inquiry I took alone. I took informatics and...

  10. BOE Misfits

    kummerspeck replied to mattfd37's topic in School

    We have a head nurse at my district who is here mainly to liaison with all the outside entities that we liaison with, like local nursing colleges, the BOE, and the public health department. We are...

  11. SNHU Online RN to BSN Program

    kummerspeck replied to AlwaysLearning247's topic in General Nursing

    I took scholarly inquiry on its own because my advisor was adamant that it was a lot of writing and I would want to take it alone. I took info management at the same time as I took ethics and legal....

  12. Any Substitute School Nurses Here?

    kummerspeck replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I have a permanent part time position with my home district, but I also sub when it fits my schedule. (I'm also a f/t night nurse outside of school nursing right now). My home district pays...

  13. What computer program do you use?

    kummerspeck replied to mattfd37's topic in School

    The schools here I sub at use Aspen X2, which is for academic and health information use, which can come in handy, I suppose. I just started using it and it's not too bad. Anything is better than...

  14. Do you have a sub nurse

    kummerspeck replied to tonih79's topic in School

    Our district pays $100 a day. (I, however, get $25 an hour for my mini shift that I work four days a week). It's ridiculous. But what's even sadder is that they pay their school teacher subs $65 a...

  15. Do you have a sub nurse

    kummerspeck replied to tonih79's topic in School

    In my district, there are 17 schools. One of our elementary schools has an RN and an LPN (Medically fragile kids head there). One high school has two nurses, the other has three. We have a float...

  16. Stranger in a strange land

    kummerspeck replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    Teachers are so cliquey. When I taught, it was incredibly obvious that there were cliques and it sucked. At least at the second school I taught at. The first school, they were all 20+ years older...

  17. To Master or Not

    kummerspeck replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I'm in the RN to MSN program at SNHU. However, I am probably going to pause after I finish my BSN in July because I'm pretty much overcooked when it comes to school right now. I just want to pay off...

  18. Got scolded by parent today

    kummerspeck replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I haven't had this happen as a nurse yet, but I've certainly had it happen when I was a school teacher. I've had parents say that I wasn't trained properly, or that I spoke in a mean manner towards...

  19. Foot in the Door

    kummerspeck posted a topic in School

    So a little while ago I had posted about possibly getting a school nurse position, which ultimately I didn't get. It was pretty devastating but that shows me that I should be careful about being...

  20. Foot in the Door

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    Yes, this is how I am taking it because this is almost EXACTLY what I have been told by several people in the district. When I didn't get the position, the asst. super who called to tell me...

  21. Foot in the Door

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    Not at all! This is a good district and it's very competitive. But I can see how you might assume

  22. Foot in the Door

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    Thank you! Yesterday was my first day and I can already tell I will enjoy this position. Granted, I will probably see the office staff more than anyone, but it is nice to acclimate myself! I also...

  23. Foot in the Door

    kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    Thank you! I am going to be patient, I know there are a few nurses retiring in the next year or so...so there is opportunity

  24. **HELP!! ICU RN Working PRN in LTC??

    kummerspeck replied to Spoiled1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would be sure to ask about how to properly document (if they're paper or computer-if they're computer make sure to try to sign in before they leave!). You should ask about how the patients take...

  25. CPR certification for facility

    kummerspeck replied to JBMmom's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    At my facility, we are required to have healthcare provider CPR training w/AED, as well as a BLS certificate. I noticed, though, that back when I was applying, different places required different...
