    Calling EMS

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

    We admit suspected PE in the hospital that rule out. You need to evaluate symptoms and risk, why they have you there. You did your job, the doctors/ mid levels at the hospital did theirs. You rarely...

    How to politely tell a patient "do it yourself"

    MrNurse(x2) replied to railroadrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My wife worked at a HD clinic, hats off to you, she couldn't do it, too grueling. Knowing your schedule, I would say that making those calls is out of your scope of practice. They are sitting there...

    Yet Another Post About Low-Stress Nursing Positions???

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

    I tell each and every new grad that nursing is a career, not a job. You can get a job in a week or two, a career takes yearS. New nurses are at a disadvantage because you come out with license in...

    Putting out resumes with your 1 month experience will make it stand out. It will be forefront in every recruiter's, every manager's mind, and when you make that magical year, their memory will be that...

    Advice needed for Anxious Kindergartener making himself barf

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

    This is a parent issue. I would give him a bucket and send him back to class, call mom and make her aware of what is going on. It may be hard for the teacher, but if he is ignored he has lost the...

    What computer program do you use?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to mattfd37's topic in School

    We use Engrade, a pretty obscure program in the educational world and they integrate with that. Their integration is limited to demographics, you can't access either within

    I suggest bypassing your counselor. Not sure why they are staying on periphery, but you need to intervene for this poor

    Self Harm

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

    I had to call 911 for self harm. It changed things for the better in this child's life. It is an emergency as much as a cardiac arrest. I don't have a counselor, but I had one when this student...

    Self Harm

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

    That was my kneejerk, surprised your counselor was unphased. Harm in school can elicit a 911 call whether or not she is under

    Self Harm

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

    Does your counselor have access to the health department? Ours has a youth service bureau that I can consult in emergencies, very helpful as we do not have a counselor. No parent wants to admit their...

    Immunizations

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Your nightmares are justified. Oh my. If you are in the US, the homeless/ transitional kids are covered through ICE to be directed to welfare services that get immunizations

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

    I find it odd that the title reads the nurse when the cafeteria fed a peanut allergy kid something with peanuts in it. Individual blame versus corporate, very intentional

    Lowest stress (still great pay) nursing specialties?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    You need three years in an acute setting to even consider yourself independant. Nursing is a career, not a job. Almost every position builds from the acute setting. Can you have a career without acute...

    To Master or Not

    MrNurse(x2) replied to guest83140's topic in School

    No one will tell you, but that BSN helped land your job. My wife took two years looking for work because she was a diploma nurse. She was a diploma nurse with 28 years experience in IMC. She was a...

    Looking forward to it. Surprised Ma. doesn't have SNAP as they are Boston based, we in Md. are pretty loyal to local companies. We only have 125 kids, so I manually check immunizations, only takes a...
