    How much orientation??

    MrNurse(x2) replied to RNBSNon12/13/14's topic in School

    I developed the position, as my school had no nurse for the 9 years it was around. They basically told kids to go back to class after pointing a temporal thermometer at them. The temporal thermometer...

    New elementary school nurse!

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

    Welcome. Your home health experience will help you with one of the hardest adjustments to school nursing, isolation. You are the only medical source in the school, normally. You have no one to bounce...

    CPS call?

    MrNurse(x2) posted a topic in School

    Our school has a family that appears to be practicing a bit of Munchausen. This child has not been in school for three weeks straight due to severe anxiety. This child came to me one day and begged to...

    CPS call?

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

    Sorry, half day Friday and I left for vacay right after. I really can only recommend to my administrators. I feel like I am only getting part of the story. We will see Tuesday, I

    If a child is removed from the home, do you get informed?

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

    Sounds like a serious issue that doesn't take the priority it should with lots of school districts. Guess it will all change when a sentinel event occurs and makes the national news. Nurses may want...

    Sometimes I wish I could give these out:

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

    My wife always says that the only way she will find out anything is wrong with me is from the autopsy findings. Most of our friends concur that husbands suffer in silence. Media perception is strong...

    As a Indian Nurse

    MrNurse(x2) replied to chandragiriseenu's topic in Nurse Registration

    Immigration to Canada, as shown with all the childish behavior post election, is much harder that US immigration. Unless you are confirmed acceptance, I would worry about that first. You will not be...

    What made you want to be a nurse?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to MollyM99's topic in General Nursing

    I loved first aid as a Boy Scout, wanted to look into medicine (too long), paramedic (low pay), when my BIL was admitted for T-cell carcinoma when I was 13. I saw male nurses who weren't gay (sorry,...

    Nurse wives

    MrNurse(x2) posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    OK, instead of whining about being a minority, let's find out how many of us have leveraged our advantage to find a mate. My wife and I worked together for years before dating. We continued to work...

    medical records

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

    Oh the jobs that would be lost and the money saved with national standardized forms. Imagine the utopia if every insurance company used the same forms as Medicaid. But I digress, without...

    What was your very first Nursing Job?

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

    What started as a community hospital that became the leading cardiac hospital on the East Coast back in 1989. Stayed for decades while working agency, learned that my grass was pretty

    MrNurse(x2) replied to fcp4life's topic in General Nursing

    I was working at an inner city hospital in the era of white uniforms. I walked into a "ward room" of 4 patients with little light in the middle of the night. My AA gentleman aged in his high 80's...

    Nurse Pass

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

    This is becoming a huge problem. We have a free range school. Most classes are not done at a desk or table and groups of students end up in the common areas doing school work. This encourages drop ins...

    What do you do with your "Stomachache" kids?

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

    That is my litmus test if the student (MS) is really nauseated or faking. They are in a portable and far from the restroom. Many a faker wanting to go home has been weeded out by the dreaded puke...

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

    Wow, this must be a forward thinking group! I really question their comprehension. That makes me question the educator's competence. My children have 2 parents as nurses and they really never knew...
