    What do you wish you were told prior to graduating nursing school

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Grobyc82's topic in General Students

    This! The following article is what I think every new nurse needs to hear, as well as crusty old bats who have forgotten what it is like to be new....

    Education and end-of-life care

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Grobyc82's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, it is uncomfortable for many people. I realized it was the best when my Kindergartner said goodbye to his grandfather giving his final breath and minutes later my son was picked up to...

    School Shootings

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

    I beg to differ on arming certain staff. Many play video games, especially the males, and FPS games were what the military and law enforcement used to desensitize and heighten awareness. They are...

    Education and end-of-life care

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Grobyc82's topic in General Nursing

    In general, the U.S.'s approach to nursing education has flipped 180 degrees from 30 years ago. You learn theory only, little practical application. It is up to your employer to teach you the what to...

    Punitive culture

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

    I left a position in the exact environment you are describing. After decades there, the Christian based managerial style was replaced with a much more secular one. I was one of the highest paid...

    More on Concussions

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

    The most eye opening part of being a school nurse is how common concussions

    Loss of Confidence

    MrNurse(x2) replied to marsbar37's topic in General Nursing

    First, realize that it may not be you. I wrote an article about this transition. It was kind of buried in an obscure part of AN, so I can give you the link. You were set up to fail....

    School Shootings

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

    Sadly, Far, our society has changed too much. We don't want people to feel bad to confront the facts. We don't want to "go back to those (insert negative attribute here) times". Truth is, these things...

    not getting the help I need!

    MrNurse(x2) replied to jess11RN's topic in School

    Educators are ignorant of the NPA, tell them that their word does not relinquish you of anything. It would be like the Principal saying you can murder someone and they are responsible. The NPA is law,...

    Doctor notes

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

    ANY doctor's note to the school, by definition, releases any HIPAA violation. You have now been included in the health care team and you are allowed to know

    Is the flu in your school?

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

    Mom sent in 2nd grader 1 day post Tamiflu, 5 days post diagnosis. Poor guy was a dish rag. Explained that, although he isn't infectious, he still will have symptoms for a few more days to week and he...

    Thermometer? Looking for cost Effective and Reliable

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

    We had a highly rated IR that was highly inaccurate before I started here. Shudder to think of the febrile students that stayed, but truly, the teachers sent most home (no nurse). I use a Braun...

    Is the flu in your school?

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

    Interesting collecting numbers, we have 7 confirmed flu cases, we only have 9 vaccinated out of 45 responses so far. Of staff students, my 2 and only 1 other out of 20 are vaccinated. My only...

    C'Mon Now!

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

    ... and the puke bucket for another win! Had a student come in right out of carpool saying he threw up three times. An hour and a half later, no puke, returning bucket because he doesn't want to look...

    That's So Fetch! (Pink Wednesdays)

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

    You know the worst part? He really is uber talented. Why he feels the need to cheat to win is more a reflection of his own self esteem than any other issue. He still has smaller and softer than

    Is the flu in your school?

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

    I have, they are keeping in contact with me. I agree, but most absences are strep ~10. We are only 125 students, so percentages are skewed. They want me to total vaccinated students and confirmed flu...
