    You will be missed. May your next journey be blessed. Good luck on what that may

    What do teachers think about school nurses?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to nurselife13's topic in School

    Honestly, I doubt teachers think about the school nurse and really doubt there are message boards with threads as numerous as ours, if any. This is the real school nurses lament, we are invisible...

    Salting my ice now

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

    I have my stopwatch out to see how long these ice packs are used when students are held in the office. Average? Fifteen

    Happy Nurses' Week, my loves!

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

    Sometimes I think we can get caught up in this professionalism stuff, but I always remember PA's and NP's are mid-levels, making nurses, well you get

    Happy School Nurses Day!

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

    I will never understand the viewpoint that hospitals are the only place "real" nurses work. In my area, hospitals are the worst employers, they abuse the nurses by cultivating a guilt for taking full...

    Do You Remember...

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Feral.Cat.Herder's topic in School

    This morning I had a boy come in straight from PE which is right outside my office. He asked for an ice pack for bumping into another child. I offered it to him and asked him to stand by the sink (it...

    Happy Nurses' Week, my loves!

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

    My school is acknowledging nurses' week way more than the hospital I work. We have received numerous gifts (Godiva chocolate, they know we like the good stuff) and most teachers have wished us a happy...

    Do You Remember...

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Feral.Cat.Herder's topic in School

    The numbers are getting big enough to go out to the general boards. I think you have just enough time to microwave some

    Do You Remember...

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Feral.Cat.Herder's topic in School

    Thank the Lord for private schools. I am allowed to call out my FF's and be blunt with them, my administration encourages it. I frequently turn students away for ridiculous things and I have only...

    Why ? Just Why ?

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

    Snacks?

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

    So much this! This has been my battle all year. Now that I have a T1D whose mom doesn't want her to be "different" despite the T1D shirt she wears and the biggest LL Bean backpack they make with "...

    Why ? Just Why ?

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

    Our teachers defer to our judgement almost exclusively, including administration. You all make me very appreciative of our circumstances. Sorry you all deal with

    Snacks?

    Children are like feral cats, feed them and they won't go

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

    I will never forget the night my head nurse (I really have been doing this a while) worked our floor. She took the nursing assistants aside after seeing nurses answering more than the NA's and...

    Our specials day has included maker space, a craft area with power tools and crafts such as breaking CDs to make mosaics. Can you say splinter madness? Hot glue guns are welcome in my

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

    I started a position in a community hospital, thinking the bucolic nature would carry over to the clientele. I lived in the community and my neighbors are nice enough. I came from an affluent hospital...

    Parent wants to stay all day

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

    This is beyond helicopter, this is a lawnmower parent, one who goes out and mows down any obstacle the LD may encounter. Sadly, I know all too well the politics of private school. Lawnmowers just need...

    Where are the school nurses?

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

    As I see more years behind than ahead, I have been given a little clarity in what is really going on. This is only about money on the surface. This country has no reservations allocating large sums of...
