    Salad Bar and Allergies

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

    This. I feel for children with allergies, but this world is not going to eliminate the allergen, therefore the child must learn the allergen. I don't think it unreasonable for a Kindergartener to be...

    Staff Retention Policies

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

    I left my management after three decades. Why? I had it with the condescending seniority remarks. Had a patient admitted with GI bleed that turned out to be a basilar skull fracture, that I caught,...

    Nursing and Physical Therapy

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

    Are you sure that it truly was a Therapist and not an Assistant? PT Assistants earn comparable to nurses and education is an associates degree. The real answer is ratios, the more patients a specialty...

    How long does it take to feel comfortable?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Alexx_xox's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My standard response to new nurses is "it will take a year to make you feel like you know what you are doing, and three to say you are

    Maryland BON Monitoring program

    MrNurse(x2) replied to stur's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, quarterly reports. Knew one nurse who went in, called what she did sin, never missed a call, clean the whole time. They made it four and a half years instead of

    Parent off the hook

    MrNurse(x2) posted a topic in School

    My wife and I had fun Friday exchanging emails with a parent who took self centeredness to a whole other level. I saw one student at the very beginning of the day. Stomach ache, low grade fever. Mom...

    Parent off the hook

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

    Our school does a variant of common core for math, and I have to say, the side effect is logic. I love it, it shows there are many paths to the same answer, therefore playing to each child's strength....

    Did CPR for the first time today.

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

    We were directing it to the non school nurses. What eventually happens is nurses read topics that they think they know everything about, like this, and come on here. They respond by the title without...

    How Working the Night Shift Can Be A Death Sentence

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Carol Ebert's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have worked nights almost exclusively for 3 decades. I look younger than my age and I get 8 hours sleep on average. I worked for 5 months getting up at 5:30 AM for day shift and I was more ill than...

    Maryland BON Monitoring program

    MrNurse(x2) replied to stur's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have friends who have done it. Monthly random monitoring, call in daily, like normal. Board is pretty nice, in general. Five year contract. Be thankful you are not

    Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

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

    I got through half of these, so excuse me if this is redundant. I haven't seen any mention of your professional aspirations, only not a nurse. Should you decide on a health care career, here are the...

    RRT one hour into shift

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

    RRTs are no one's "fault". Conditions can change in a heartbeat, or lack of one. There have been numerous times that a patient I just assessed starts feeling bad within an hour and that assessment has...

    HS student with odor, call nurse?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to guest83140's topic in School

    Back in the '80's we weren't required to. I went to wrestling practice, the practices that make football players puke, and we wouldn't shower after. We would just go

    Hope parents don't send these to school!

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

    I hate cough drops. They are not very effective and make it another reason to visit the nurse.I cut that part of my protocol out of the standardized one I got from the county over. Add that to the...

    Greener grass?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to c27_AEMT's topic in General Nursing

    So, a little reality, because it is all relative. Nursing is unusual because, unlike most professions, there is OT. You are hearing annual salaries and they may not be on a 2200 hour year. Your...

    Oversaturation? Why am I working short staffed?

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

    I worked a post OHS unit on nights. We would have nights with over 100 years experience. You know what administration did? Made it intolerable. We had 1 CNA for 30 patients, some nights there were...

    please tell me nursing is not really like this

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

    The sad truth is LTC is short, mostly because of the attitudes you received when you took the position. That facility probably didn't hold up their end of the contract, probably why most don't have a...
