    Raises?

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

    The worst part of nursing? You will at best double your income from start to finish of your career. Meanwhile, your contemporaries will average 5 times their starting salary. Once you get to TOS, you...

    STUDENT Heart rate 185

    MrNurse(x2) replied to tonih79's topic in School

    Was the pulse regular? BP? O2 sat? SVT can cause hypotension and increased O2 demand.If it were irregular, that could mean a-fib and a trip to the ER. In the future, have the student cough forcibly,...

    ... and now for the consequences

    MrNurse(x2) posted a topic in School

    I was all for anonymity when this lice thing came out. I tell parents at the back to school night to invest in a $10 lice comb and check monthly. I tell them it is not a school issue, though it can...

    Retirement at what age, and how much $$ will you will need to retire "comfortably"?

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

    There is really no wrote answer for that. Cost of living, expectations and health all play a role. Do you want to travel? Cha-ching!, Do you want to eat out most of the time? Cha-ching! Do you want to...

    Homebound Coordinator

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

    I would offer to take it over at the beginning of 2019, as in January 1, after you are able to shadow the existing person. To spring this at the end of the year is pretty

    How to deal with noncompliance parents with student with lice?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Rocio8809's topic in School

    The problem is the whole family is most likely infested, making this a temporary fix at best. It may motivate the family to do something about it,

    Sometimes I hate rules

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

    The funniest part of that dosage question is digoxin is rarely used anymore, and I have never seen a digoxin drip, and digoxin doses are in micrograms, and it just continues on and on and

    Just stopped a teacher from applying medicated cream to a student's arm

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

    Maybe a good time to attend a school board meeting with this information to prove the need for full time nurse for each school. Start saying things like liability, nurse practice act and such, maybe...

    How to deal with noncompliance parents with student with lice?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Rocio8809's topic in School

    Do you exclude for poison ivy until it is deemed all oils are off the skin? I know it sounds stupid, but it REALLY is the same thing. It is a nuisance, not a health issue. Now to address your issue, a...

    Another Tragedy

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

    I wish the psychiatric community could do this, but my experience says they are too immature to make that assessment. I have spoken of my pseudo foster child before, three inpatient admissions after...

    It's my wife and I, witness is really not watertight for either of us. We take it to the police department for disposal. I have them sign a form showing amount

    School Shootings

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

    I look at what is different now compared to 1970, 1980's. Gun access was much easier then, in fact there were guns in student's vehicles a lot of the time. Schools were much easier to enter then, open...

    Student loans killing me!! stressed!

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Nurselyfe92's topic in General Nursing

    So you may not like this, but when you put this out there, you may get hard truths. You incurred these debts. Food stamps are a benevolent benefit of the people of this great nation, a benefit that...

    Bizarre Med Order

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

    Great follow up. I would recommend going forward to not allow office staff to respond to what the doctor should address. Sometimes nice doesn't win, firm works

    Concerns about Transition to School Nurse

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

    I came from a quarter decade of adult care. I came into a private without any school nurse. I had to develop protocols, policy with no experience. This community was my saving grace. I relied on my...

    Summer 2018 Plans?

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

    Academia, those skewed people who never left school and live in that myopic environment. A total guess, I'll admit, but I bet I'm

    Bizarre Med Order

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

    I am shocked at the lack of professionalism from that doctor('s office). I have always spoken to the doctor when I call. They have even gone so far as to interrupt a visit so I can speak to the...

    Ramadan & Field Day

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

    Could you encourage your administration to be culturally sensitive and schedule field day before Ramadan for next year? Being in the south, you are a little more flexible with the

    New School Nurse!

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Mr.Nurse190's topic in School

    Call local school nurses and ask them to see their accommodations. Never working in one will make it very hard to understand what you need, I know, I was one of those that was new to school

    My wife has field day, I'm going to actually miss it. It seems to be our easiest day, half day, no meds and no one wants to miss out on the

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    How disrespectful. Probably would do the same with the janitor. Really a reflection on the prejudices of that teacher. Would she do that to her Principal if she found a roach? Of course

    What is your academic calendar and what state are you in?

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

    I asked this when my employer stated that a call out on a weekend must be made up. Turns out, it went against labor laws if it made you go over 40
