    Ideas for After School Program?

    Are there areas in education that may have deficiencies? I am teaching classes to the middle schoolers regarding drug abuse, because they don't offer that. I have also found that the outgoing eighth...

    Not my role... admin rant

    Well, isn't that convenient to pass the buck, yet make the buck? Do you have a district nurse or a supervisor that can advocate for you? I would start

    handling a willful child

    I missed the fourth grade comment. Oh my, she is wonderfully parented. Agree, strict doctor's orders and no deviation. Have her bring lunch before and after eating to spare the lows. One blessing of...

    handling a willful child

    She is a typical teen. (Just saw the fourth grade! Oh my)She wants control and this is the best place to exert it. As Far said, stick to doctor's orders and don't deviate. When she goes to argue, make...

    Leaving School Nursing...

    That's the beauty of nursing, diversity. There is no way I could work NICU, I am very thankful there are those with that gifting. Good luck with your search and hopefully you will find that perfect...

    New School Nurse

    We have parents volunteer to cover lunch in the area I have my office in. I set up for lunch daily and I am called on to quiet down students when they are a little too loud. I'll never understand why...

    Student not comfortable with me.

    ^^This^^ from OD. The parent probably got tired of the calls when she was a FF and told her to go only in case of emergency, so she doesn't come out of fear of discipline from mom, not you. We are...

    Student Nurse Clinical Site

    I will start with welcoming you to the nurses' station. We are here if needed, and we are pretty nice to each other, too, an anomaly to the AN format. This student sounds as though she has let her...

    New grads in float positions

    My former employer decided that this is the best way to deal with new grads. They gave a six month orientation, a great thing! Then they set them loose to work on the various units. This is a dual...

    How much do YOU think nurses are worth?

    I work a private school. These teachers are making a tad over poverty level. They are hands and feet better than the public school teachers I know, but the mission is more important to them than the...

    How much do YOU think nurses are worth?

    The laws of supply/ demand dictate our pay. Hospitals, like schools, police departments and fire departments, rely on numbers to make them work. The 400 bed hospital I worked for employed over 1500...

    1st day questions

    That sounds like a culture that sends discipline issues to the nurse to calm down to avoid the hassle of writing up. I would do what you are doing, sticking to your guns and changing the culture. If a...

    Awkward

    I am afraid there are more situations like this than we can bear to think. No wonder it is a hurting world out

    What is this? Dermatological question.

    Rashes are the most common issue in children and hardest to diagnose. I would send child home with physician referral and clearance, but I am in a private and have that latitude. All my kids are...

    Patient Keeps Asking for Another Nurse

    I totally agree that your coworker is enabling her. Nurse Lovely is getting her ego stroked by this manipulative patient and you are getting thrown under the bus. Stop this

    I heard that about you somewhere

    C'Mon Now!
