    New Grad RN, Will being a school nurse lock me into never moving into acute care?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to BethG26's topic in School

    My standard response to this question. Many home health agencies do not hire new grads for good reason, they are isolated and independent. Not having a resource readily available is dangerous to your...

    Funny Ranting

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

    "Looks like an amputation is in order", "would you stop playing if this happened at home?", "drink lots of water, 2 water bottles, to liquify the snot". Top 3,

    Athletic Trainers

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

    Athletics have a larger budget than you. My AT luckily had a RN sister, she didn't step on my toes, but I loved having her here for ortho issues, her knowledge base was WAY more than mine and I...

    Is this discrimination?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    You can always ask about the raise, the worst they can say is no. You are only a minority if that is what you feel. I am sorry that you work in such a hostile

    When did being pregnant become a disability?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to guest940422's topic in General Nursing

    I have another perspective. My wife prefers I have a beard, this makes my only option for airborne isolation a PAPR. That precludes me from accepting that assignment because I am unable to assess with...

    Curiosity

    MrNurse(x2) replied to imaneedmycoffeefirst89's topic in School

    I have 125 K-8 students. I have 1 T1D, 5 daily meds and approximately 10-15 (around 10%!)

    I need ideas

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

    I have no frustrations with that, I pull the folders and bam, I'm done. Might want to check with my wife if she gets lucky enough to deal with that this

    C'Mon Now!

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

    Have you heard how even the elementary students talk? In front of their parents, no less. And I'm at a very sheltered private

    Have you done this ?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Flossy73's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, this is refreshing. Every place I have worked the nurses swear like sailors, to the point they appologize for doing it in front of me. Do places like this

    RACISM IN NURSING

    MrNurse(x2) replied to dddubbu's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Interesting take. Thanks for sharing. I worked in a LTC facility that had a majority of Africans working there. Loved to hear of their culture and perceptions of our country. Many shifts, I was the...

    Very concerned

    MrNurse(x2) replied to ButterflyRN90's topic in General Nursing

    Your preceptor was irritated because she realizes that she is partially culpable for this. Never give any insulin after a low blood sugar without running it by a physician, that will put the...

    MrNurse(x2) replied to mtmkjr's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently starting on a PCU where they have these wonderful cards that chronicle the patient's hospitalization. Then, at report, they read it to us. After being updated and read the paper, we...

    Pay cuts

    MrNurse(x2) replied to KSjo88's topic in General Nursing

    Curious, is this an independent hospital or part of a system? A lot of independents who want to remain that way are struggling horribly, even in affluent

    Racial Discrimination in the Nursing Profession

    MrNurse(x2) replied to MasterStreet's topic in General Nursing

    While no one may know the heart behind the decision, I think it is important for you to understand that three years of experience puts you at a novice level. I constantly tell new nurses that the...

    I can't do it all (mom rant)

    MrNurse(x2) replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate, my sons are in private school which my wife and I function as nurses for tuition and we also work full time jobs. We would trade it all tomorrow if their grades weren't stellar. All...

    Left job to safeguard my license - what "reason" to add on new applications?

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

    No, totally believe you did the right thing. As a school nurse, you are alone, without another nurse to bounce things off of, that is where these great resources come in. They have been in situations...

    rude teacher comment

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Nurse2Kids's topic in School

    Another thought that really gets to the heart of it, teaching and nursing were always the careers girls were pointed to if they were career oriented. The resentment that nurses "seem" to make more is...

    Left job to safeguard my license - what "reason" to add on new applications?

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

    Should you get another school position I strongly encourage you to think of this group as your coworkers. The experience here may have helped you navigate those issues. Good luck on another

    Any school nurses out there with 40 years?

    MrNurse(x2) posted a topic in School

    Would love to hear from the really experienced nurses. I don't remember my contemporaries running to the nurse for every little thing. I mean, mosquito bites, really? Is this a new phenomenon or has...

    rude teacher comment

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Nurse2Kids's topic in School

    Sometimes coming into an environment where the teachers acted in the nurse role gives this reaction. She may resent losing the ability to make the decision to send children she prefers not be in her...

    Peanut allergy issue

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    I realize that I am the minority on this, and will probably be blasted as narrow minded, but hear me out. There is NO WAY you can guarantee a peanut free environment. Despite what some school boards...
