    Excellent. Happy you were able to find something in the school system. Enjoy working where the bottom line isn't profit and enjoy staying out from under the

    Bullied psych nurse commits suicide

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nursing News

    The tone of the article was accusatory towards NHS and it appears this woman had mental illness that magnified her "bullying". My son has a friend who calls everything bullying that she doesn't like...

    Nurses Charged in Deaths of 12 Nursing Home Residents

    MrNurse(x2) replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    Thanks for clarifying. When I worked LTC, even in hospitals, administrators were ALWAYS in building during weather events that had the potential for emergencies and it was glaring that the article...

    Running late?, during report stay on topic so I can go home!

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

    I work on a unit that has cards that give running history on the patient with assessment results. Honestly don't understand why nurses take 40-50 minutes to give report on 4 patients. I don't need to...

    Consultancy pay

    MrNurse(x2) replied to angela3068's topic in School

    Nursing is the only career where your "side job" pays as much or more than your FT gig. Sometimes they need

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

    Just had a 10 year old with headaches come to get his Advil, which I have protocols for, and request 400mg. I told him I don't have orders for that and let his mother know that was excessive dose for...

    Nurses Charged in Deaths of 12 Nursing Home Residents

    MrNurse(x2) replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    This whole article reads as a biopic on why nursing homes have strict state oversight. From the never operational generator to the lack of administrative oversight, this seems like a small, mom and...

    RN, School Nurse

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Melmel75's topic in School

    I work private, not sure how this would fly in public school. I send emails citing EMS response time to our location, approximately 20 minutes. I state that brain death occurs in 4 minutes without...

    Early Flu?

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

    Flu never really goes away, it just reduces when we are naturally outdoors more often and not in confined environments. Our more sedate lifestyles are catching up with us and in the near future we may...

    Freaking out

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Nursemomo3816's topic in School

    Welcome to school nursing. I don't mean to laugh, but this harkens back to the elitist hospital nurse attitude that school nurses do nothing. Pretty scary being the go to person. Kind of makes you...

    CMA oversight

    MrNurse(x2) posted a topic in School

    Hi, hope all here had a marvelous summer. I am coming to my awesome coworkers here for yet more of your invaluable advice. We are getting a CMA to cover our office in the afternoons and are trying to...

    CMA oversight

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

    I buy my own meds, I don't think they have the resources. Skype will be sufficient. The parents were made aware and I had no concerns voiced at back to school

    CMA oversight

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

    The video consult should not be cumbersome, we normally have 2 or 3 visits in the afternoon. We also have a state provided manual for when the nurse is off campus. This covers us when not

    Outfit for job interview

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

    I showed up in a suit for my hospital interview. In a casual world where people wear polos to funerals, formal business attire shows a respect for the position you are asking and the care you will put...

    This is Where the Cowboy Rides Away

    Congratulations, well deserved. You are more than Old Dude, you are also wise, and we have all benefited. May God bless every endeavor from here on. You will be

    The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    MrNurse(x2) replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    We all are bolstered by news articles saying nursing is the most trusted profession and we play the martyrs in a worldview that all nurses go to heaven, but then we have to keep in mind CRNPs and...

    I might have asked this before but not sure

    just a Thursday vent

    MrNurse(x2) replied to TLS9544's topic in School

    My warm weather mantra is "flip flops are for pools, not for schools". One day our principal came in and we were both here, she asked for a band aid and I asked why, she said she wants it from my...

    How many Male School Nurses are out there!

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

    I guess this is better than "is it cramps or nausea". Honestly, my students see me as my boys' dad more than anything else and are upfront, but I think I'll switch to this.

    Fun end of year complaints

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

    Had 3 stomach aches in a row this morning, found out the teacher was doing "silent class", something pretty foreign in our alternative school. I do, however, allow free passes to students I haven't...

    Interesting Hiring Conundrum

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

    You must work in a great district that puts you on Principal pay grade. Sweet. Really, this is not your concern. Let them know that you will come in over the summer for a $10,000 bonus for the added...

    It’s a Lice Celebration

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

    My biggest pushback came from a mother who was a school nurse in 2010, she "helped" me with a lice check and was very upset that I did not send the three students I found home. She immediately went...

    Dealing with teachers

    I've known a lot of teachers who became RN's. Can't imagine the change in schedule they had to get used
