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

    Things LTC Nurses wish EMTs and Paramedics would understand.

    No, it REALLY DOESN'T MATTER where the IV is! This is one of the most stupid questions/ report items I have ever heard in my decades of nursing. Is it patent? That really is all that is needed. Even...

    Had a 5th grader carried in by 2 eighth graders because one of the biggest students in the school stepped on his foot. He said he couldn't walk, unable to stand but only his toes, not his ankle, hurt....

    I frequently call in students to introduce lice and scabies in my irresponsibility. I also constantly monitor classrooms and common areas for parasites. Parents are

    The fastest route to experience would probably be ER. That would expose you to pediatrics without the concentration of an exclusive peds floor. Triage really is the primary skill used in the school...

    You may want to seriously self evaluate the nurse part of school nurse. Your prior experience as a teacher makes you very comfortable in the school part of the title, but one year MS experience leaves...

    No hesitation here. Respect is one of our core anchors, I warn the child and will have them talk to administration if the disrespect continues. Luckily administration is keen on this and backs up...

    New nurse syndrome. Do you use written passes? Making the teachers pause to write out a pass that describes the issue may keep students from raising their hand and just saying I need to go to the...

    Can I vent please??!

    MrNurse(x2) replied to momto5RN's topic in School
