    Fidget Spinners

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

    My son is complaining that students that use them are distracting to him. They don't spin them out of sight, most hold them up off their desk to draw

    "the nurse"

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

    THIS. This is why it is so irritating. It is like you are temporary, so not worthy of individual acknowledgement. It is like the sub who students refer to as teacher, so you don't have the...

    Noncompliant Kids!

    MrNurse(x2) replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    There are times that a student becomes defiant, mostly when they have their hearts set on going home and they don't meet criteria. I often tell them that right now they are getting into disciplinary...

    Ever felt like throwing in the towel ?

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

    I loathe hospital nursing. Took a $20+/hr pay cut to do LTC and school nursing. Best move ever! Every job has its issues, you just have to weigh them and decide if it is really

    A little vent about contributing to office occasions

    Calling 911

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

    My wife and I bought our monkey bars. Job security? We have a natural playscape, save that piece. I get far more injuries from falling off logs and such, but nothing major,

    AED Recommendations

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

    I own a Philips Heartstart. Have had it for a decade and never needed it, but very reliable in terms of batteries and pads. What grades do you cover? I would go with their FRx, I think it is that...

    I do call for every head bump. I make sure I cover the bases so I don't get

    Calling 911

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

    There will always be armchair quarterbacks, they even exist in hospitals where you have the luxury of other nurses to bounce things off of. Are you going to call an ambo when you shouldn't? Most...

    Does this weird anybody else out?

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

    I sit with my back to the opening and cot, always creeps me out. My new office at the new school is big enough I should be able to face the cot and door, computer facing

    Delegation question

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

    Public school? I believe you must cover that child with someone who is trained, not a nurse per se. She should be paid if she must function in this role, as she is working under her license. I would...

    I have a student with the same issue, Hashimoto's Thyroid, sleep apnea, controlled and is still doing this. Narcolepsy wu @ Hopkins was inconclusive. Such a sad

    C'Mon Now!

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

    Had a KG come to me with foil in his teeth. I told him I wasn't a dentist and I had no floss. Tears immediately started with a loud wail. Shut that down immediately, I will not allow manipulation....

    Minor Questions

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

    My second grader uses the same lancet all week, tries twenty times to get blood and once she bleeds she flings blood everywhere, then wipes her finger on her shirt. Every suggestion to change lancet,...

    Do you ever NOT give out ice packs?

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

    I am starting to ask if they would use one at home. I have one staff student that comes EVERY DAY! Really gets old. My wife and I get ours free from the LTC's we work at from the RX deliveries. Just...

    Adenovirus

    Would you have called?

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

    Adults don't! Most under 70 have done some sort of drug and therefore are in need of bigger, better pharmacologics. Appropriate for 4/20 I guess. My OHS teaching always involved the difference between...

    Would you have called?

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

    Academia is creating these people, colleges cater to this mindset. They have a well defined agenda that encourages conformity to a nanny

    Would you have called?

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

    I would not have, unfortunately, I have to call about everything because a little came and said he hit his lip and the snowflake parents (dad, no less) was upset no one told them. I won't be posting...

    Pet Peeve Friday

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

    That was my point. Not all men are that piggish, but,as you pointed out, Hollywood is probably the biggest offender and producer of this mindset. In no way is it an acceptable excuse. I also find the...

    Adenovirus

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Gems0607's topic in School

    Our county health department gives us oversight, I work private. They have been very open while I set up our schools office, even offering physician sign off on protocols (he actually has kids that go...

    Pet Peeve Friday

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

    I agree that the dress codes are intentionally written to "catch" girls more than boys. I also agree that enforcement should be across the board. I grew up in the 80's and wore a designer shirt with a...

    Second guessing myself

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

    Hindsight is always 20/20. You made the best decision for the circumstances at the time. Your critical thinking is global, not just in nursing situations. Trust your gut and realize that there was no...
