    momto5RN replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    momto5RN posted a topic in School

    momto5RN replied to HburgRN07's topic in School

    What an ass!!! I hope I'm allowed to say this on here. I am so tired of people I know or went to nursing school with who think school nursing is not "real" nursing. I have a friend from nursing school...

    momto5RN replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

  10. "the nurse"

    momto5RN replied to Flare's topic in School

    Yes!!! I'm always "the nurse" but most of the little ones call me "Nurse (insert first name)." I don't mind going by my first name. Some of the parents asked me why I don't go by my last name. I feel...

  11. Mini IV infusion at school?!

    momto5RN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    momto5RN replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    I wish I could do that!!! I don't trust my students at all. I have several kids who will poke themselves with a pencil just so they can come here. I could only imagine what they would do with an ice...

    momto5RN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Also, is it bad that saltines have been my lunch recently too?! I buy them for my office and when I don't have time to bring anything, saltines it is! Better than what they serve

    momto5RN replied to KSM-RN's topic in School
