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

    What happens when the nurse is sick?

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

    PA Ballot Question to Eliminate Property Tax defunds PA Schools, what about School Nurses?

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

    I live south of the border for 2 reasons. The property taxes negate the cheaper home prices, as much as $7,000 for upper middle class homes and the schools are significantly worse than those in Md....

    PA Ballot Question to Eliminate Property Tax defunds PA Schools, what about School Nurses?

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

    My father in Lebanon, Pa. had a specific school tax, but it was a part of his overall property tax. Being a commonwealth, I am surprised this is being proposed, as I would think it borders on illegal...

    If lice can't jump or fly

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

    I dealt with it the first month I was here. My principals wanted the whole school screened, only 85 students then, but what a hassle. Most of the victims were staff

    Off orientation--scared

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Shagce1's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    I started LTAC after 28 years in acute care. I had 4 nights orientation and a good to go. I switched to day shift after 30 years of nights without any orientation. Thankfully my manager was...

    100% Vaccination compliance and classroom first aid kits

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

    Sounds like a child labor project. My school has no problem using the students for jobs like this. Twice a week we have a 30 minute cleaning

    Parents Please Do The Paperwork!

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

    Here is my standard for the inavailability of meds that I have requested twice: EMS is a 12 minute response to the school, brain death occurs after 4 minutes. Please make those 8 minutes easier to...

    Parents Please Do The Paperwork!

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

    I notice my upper school (middle) students are far less likely to have the paperwork done, too. When I contact parents, I find they send it in, the breakdown is the student handing it in. I am in a...

    Favorite Thermometer? Recommendations?

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

    We use the Braun Tympanic, Braun is the consumer division of Welch-Allyn. We also have an Exergen temporal scanner from the pre-nurse days. Inaccurate by 2 degrees. Wonder how many students suffered...

    Nurse working as an aide.

    MrNurse(x2) replied to ironman53's topic in General Nursing

    Ride the tuition reimbursement, it normally comes with mandatory employment, not a negative when new grad jobs are scarce. Be secure in who you are and listen to that voice

    DNR/DNI: What Age Would You Choose to No Longer Be Full Code?

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

    Age is not the be all and end all of this question. In three decades I have seen 60 yr olds who have lived their lives, I have seen 90 yr old individuals who would have run circles around those 60 yr...

    The Cliff Notes version of a news story. A few things to note. This happened yesterday, the chance for the school to respond was limited due to business hours. The second part that we all seem to...

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

    I see where you are going with this. So everyone has taken a very important piece of this puzzle out, and that is accountability. Sadly, schools are in the position that the students are ultimately...

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

    This is why I have NO regrets sending emails explaining EMS is a ten minute response and brain death occurs in four. Do not put me in a position where I know what to do but do not have the tools to do...

    So many sick kids today...

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

    Nope, both the hospital and acute rehab limit your sick days to 3, 4 "incidents" per rolling 12 month period of calling out before discipline. Many coworkers have medicated fevers and puked during...

    ROLL CALL!!! School Nurses 2017/2018

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

    I am not averse to it. The western part of the state gives free community college to all graduates from the tourist revenue. That being said, nursing jobs in western Md., Pa. and W.V. are VERY hard to...
