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

    We are private. Our school days are 1 hour longer than public and our school year is only 170 days. We started 9/14/17 and will end 6/8/18. We went in 8 school days after public started and will end...

    Teacher assessments

    First things first, a gross assessment without diagnostic tools as EKG, is just that, gross. Cardiac events are sudden in nature, you don't see "warning signs" per se. Yes, you MAY have flu like...

    Coming up on free pass end of year for me. If you come to me feeling bad and I haven't seen you this year, bam, you get to go home. I love doing this at the end of the year, and none of the students...

    Rant time!

    You are free to use this. Call the nearest ambo department, ask for ETA to your facility then compile the following: Dear Mrs. Snowflake, I am requesting an inhaler for dear snowflake. Be advised that...

    Unstable Admission

    The responses reveal that I made the right decision leaving acute care. Don't question and call an RRT? This makes me fearful if I ever was a patient. Even nurses are now callous to patient care for...

    Unstable Admission

    This is the main reason I left the hospital setting. Our ED went from a top cardiac provider to sending infarcts to the floor, in a tertiary center. Throughput put patients and my livelihood on the...

    Tuesday's agenda

    I can't wait for tomorrow, guess what I get to do? LICE CHECKS! Why? A mother who is a nurse thinks they are necessary. She did offer to do them, but I am not the personality that would allow her to...

    New School Nurse, do you work per diem somewhere else?

    I am unique in that I work FT and my school nursing is my side job. I am here 3-5 days a week and split the time with my wife. I work sub acute rehab night shifts, three 12 hour shifts. My summers are...

    Long Rant

    People fear what they don't understand. Principals know teaching, they can relate, medical stuff, no knowledge. Insecure people react to fear with aggression. There you

    Teacher appreciation week...

    Just like the role we have in the school. No gift or blessing for you! The worst part? You got more than 90% of school

    Long Rant

    Prayers for that new position. This is what happens when the tween mean girls grow

    Calling parents

    You should have been told which helicopter parent requests this stupidity. I would direct all parents irritated by your calls to direct their complaints to the

    Transition from Elem to Middle School

    This is the scariest part of going from K-8. The girls are sooo much meaner, and it appears that a lot of their moms were the original mean girls and they encourage it. Unfortunately, this is a lesson...

    Happy National School Nurse's Day

    Teacher appreciation week...

    I received my annual dozen of Cinnabon sized homemade cinnamon roll from one family, this is more than my SNF is doing. The kicker? HR wants to talk to me about retention ideas at the SNF. Can't wait...
