    Annoyed and perhaps a little unsure

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

    We use Renweb and we could customize it, this was one of our requests. Only downside, we can't use SOB as an

    S.C. 5th Grader Dies After a Fight at School

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

    Exactly. Economic forces created a vacuum in the middle class for stay at home parents, but the real blow is the self absorbed generation we and the boomers

    LOW sugar, check ketones?

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

    We prefer proteins in acute care, especially for night times. Longer sustain in keeping sugars up, very important when pulling from glycogen

    PARENTS say the darndest things

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

    Had a mother and grandfather listed on contacts. Mom's number turned off, GFs was not working, email sent to mom and GF. No response all day. Got a strongly worded note the next day how I was supposed...

    S.C. 5th Grader Dies After a Fight at School

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

    Rich parents, poor kids. I had a child I raised for 7 years, mom never bonded, never had time for him. The rage that child had eventually put him in the system, we couldn't replace what he wanted....

    Faith restored

    MrNurse(x2) posted a topic in School

    Had a student with frequent nausea come after lunch and said he bigfoot vomited ( it is gone and no one saw it). Came back 40 minutes later after he yacked in class, this time LOTS of people saw it,...

    Advice for New Grad School Nurse

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

    Please take my statement in the context of student safety. Your statement should cause deafening alarms in your head. You are in a position where you have no other nurse to bounce things off, a HUGE...

    Advice for New Grad School Nurse

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

    Agree. Sometimes timing is off, but when you look back you realize it is a blessing. Experience can't be rushed and critical thinking takes experience, you can't learn it from a

    Complaint of the Day

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

    Mother of the year! That child will never do that again. This is how parents (at least the older ones) acted in the 70's, and society was much more civil. That girl learned respect for people who...

    Complaint of the Day

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

    ... and the baby probably came before the new husband. Wonder where her pain is REALLY coming from. Sad that the cause of that pain doesn't see it, appropriate behavior or not. Rich parents, poor...

    Does anyone else get emotionally exhausted from this job?

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

    This is a school nursing forum, 12 hour shifts are not an issue. The second part of your statement is false. I came into nursing in 1987, when 12 hour shifts were starting because nurses did not want...

    Monkey Bars

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

    My playground culprits are the natural apparatus, but the monkey bars used to send in many. The irony? My wife and I bought the monkey bars for our school because they had no "traditional"

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

    There is definitely a whole chapter to school nursing for private schools and the entitlement. I am constantly trying to educate them in the realities of life, as most of their parents have never had...

    Looking for advice: I don't like my salary

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

    Two years experience is still seen as inexperienced. Experience is something that, well, takes time. The difference in pay from new nurse to top of scale is pretty narrow compared to other careers and...

    Trouble with acute care after school nursing?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to travelnurse79's topic in School

    Trust me, after any other nursing you will never want to go back to acute care. It really is the armpit of nursing, even worse than LTC in my

    Tell me about your sub coverage

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

    The wife and I are it. We cover each other. On the very rare instance we can't, we have a mother who is a CMA, so, by NPA, can pass meds to the students. Her hours are very limited and we have to give...

    What's the oddest thing you've done for a student?

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

    I had the same thing! I had a student get a toothpick stuck between her knee high boot and knee and knelt full force. Luckily mom was at the school, I sent her to the ER because medium force didn't...

    Family sues school district for death

    Interview with athletic director

    Interview with athletic director

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

    A little pause. Athletic directors are highly educated and I deferred to mine for soft tissue injuries, as they are experts. I would prefer this to a

    Robot tells man he'll be dead in hours

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

    This story, though clickbait, is really a better example how Americans feel towards EOL. The granddaughter's response shows that palliative has been active in this man's care and has been offered...
