    Is age just a number?

    Amethya replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not a NP, but I seriously hated that the older nurses take my age to consideration a lot. I never had health problems but in my last job I was in horrible pain in my R leg (I wasn't allowed to sit...

    Why? Why? Why?

    Amethya replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    After I made a big deal at the admin about the peeing issue in the beginning, I made sure that they sent a letter to the parents of K and 1st to put extra clothes in the backpack because I am limited...

    Feeling extremely underappreciated

    Amethya replied to Medic2RN_'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This sounds like my old job. I was there for a year and I was forced to do most of the labor around, while everyone was on their phone or sitting. I never had any health problems until this job, where...

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I already got her list, so I'll just pick from her list and give her something or get her something from build-a-bear. We bought them a surprise gift for her and her brother, so I'm sure she'll enjoy...

    Why do parents think schools are daycares?

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

    I always explain to parents on the phone before even putting some neosporin for wounds and explain that I can't give them this unless I get their consent or I know they are not allergic to this. Some...

    Amethya replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Mine woke up today with a sore throat. I gave her some medicine and told her to hang tight at school. If she starts feeling worse, to go see the nurse and call either mama (Grandma) or me and we'll...

    It's okay! lol, I'm laughing a bit now about it, but I'm hoping I get my car back soon. This rental is expensive and they promised to give me a reimbursement on it. Other than that, yesterday was...

    Amethya replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I always call parents and tell them the situation, and tell them my findings and I tell them what they would like to do? "Well what do you think i should do?" I tell them, "It's all up to you, you're...

    Today is not a good day for me.

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Hopefully the AP who is behind me 100% will try to talk to them into finding a way to help me, but that's after Thanksgiving break. I'll try my best!

    Today is not a good day for me.

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Our school consists of 500+ students, K-8. I only need to do KInder, 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th grade. I already did Kinder and 1st, so I'm done with them, but I'm trying to do 3rd. The problem I have is...

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    In Texas, if the screenings aren't done on time, isn't there a penalty? And as an update: I feel a bit better. I just needed a good night sleep. I turn them in to the main person in charge of the...

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Clinical Judgement Call...Not sure if I did the right thing

    Amethya replied to AvaRose's topic in General Nursing

    Not a nurse, but CMA. But I think you made the right call if patient is still complaining of reflux that went from pain scale 5 to 10. Hopefully they come out all right.

    I am so disappointed

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Yeah we are deciding to get some more teachers out on the floor to keep the older students in check on the 2nd floor and the younger kids to leave at least 5 minutes earlier, if it helps. Because I...

    Do you enjoy being a school nurse?

    Amethya replied to walkingonsunshine's topic in School

    I am a CMA and medical aide at a public charter school. My goal was to be a school nurse since I was younger, but since I'm not an RN, I didn't think I could get this job. I only worked at Doctor's...

    Exactly! It's like, it's like I said in the Pathogen presentation, don't want to get sick? Hand sanitizer or wash your hands, it's simple. These are kids... they are germy, get used to
