    scuba nurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    LOL, mine wont even eat that! It is either pizza (ONLY from a certain pizza place) or maybe a hot dog! Picky kid! He is 12, waiting for that growth spurt when he all of sudden gets hungry and wants to...

    I am hosting, only 10 people, so not too bad. We are having: WINE (my parents will be coming!), turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, homemade stuffing, (Maybe another...

  3. Random Questions?

    scuba nurse replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    I have a 1st grade diabetic with an insulin pen and he sets the pen to the amount I tell him and I give it, but I double check the amount first. I wouldn't trust him, he is all over the place! As far...

  5. Suicide and other need to knows

    scuba nurse replied to WineRN's topic in School

    Yup, I hate that we are not recognized until something bad happens or someone complains, then it is all the nurses fault, otherwise, we dont exist in our schools. Another example: I moved schools 3...

  6. Sometimes, you get something right

    scuba nurse replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

  8. Been thought of as the bad guy?

    scuba nurse replied to Amethya's topic in School

    One of the reasons I changed schools recently was because the principal said "ALL the teachers" complain about me and what I decide (that I either send someone home or not). But really? Because I am...

    scuba nurse replied to klirn's topic in Nursing Career

    scuba nurse replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Nursing

    scuba nurse replied to scuba nurse's topic in School

  18. HUGE mistake

    scuba nurse replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    I do not count OTC , that would be way too crazy! Our system (SNAP) keeps track of the med count, and counts it down after given, if you put the # in the system. I usually check to make sure I am on...

    scuba nurse replied to scuba nurse's topic in School

    Yes I do have a standing order for Tylenol, and the parents did sign off for him to have it. BUT, he wouldn't even take a sip of water, so not sure how I was going to get Tylenol into him. And the...
