  1. Really?!

    scuba nurse replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    Funny thing about the wheelchair: I have one, but cant actually USE it because my building was built in 1896 (really) and there are no elevators! It is 4 flights of stairs and I am not hauling that...

  2. I don’t know if I like school nursing

    scuba nurse replied to nursex23's topic in School

    Are these students coming with a pass? Do the teachers know they are coming down this often? I would make sure each student has a pass as well as maybe send an email to the teachers about frequent use...

    scuba nurse replied to k1p1ssk's topic in School

  7. Why would a teacher say that?

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

    I have no doubts the teacher did say that, but now when actually confronted with it, she backed down, thinking that nobody would call her out on it, and she probably used it as a scare tactic for kids...

  8. INTERVIEW HEADSHOTS

    scuba nurse replied to lofe99's topic in General Nursing

    WOW, I have never heard of headshots for a nursing job....either I've been in my job too long, or things have really changed, but that is crazy! Good

  9. Debating between two jobs

    scuba nurse replied to crystalpan's topic in General Nursing

    I am assuming that pay and benefits are equal?? And the hospitals are comparable (or is one a big teaching hospital and the other a smaller community hospital)? Is tele what you want to do? Given...

  10. Nursing Spark

    scuba nurse replied to LemonDrop26's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need to figure out WHAT exactly you don't like about nursing, and then go from there. There are plenty of RN jobs that are not by the bedside (I assume that is what you are doing now) that...

    scuba nurse replied to KH_RN6's topic in School

    Elementary school, and they just go with their class and sit out where the class is, they do not come to

  14. Parents sometimes...

    scuba nurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    WOW! But you know what?? It doesn't surprise me anymore! Parents are crazy! Anything to ditch their

    scuba nurse replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    I have 1 school, but it has 2 buildings, total of 400 students. I have a "main" office in the bigger building and a small (literally a closet) in the smaller building. Just one RN

  16. How long was your training for school nursing?

    scuba nurse replied to RNashley86's topic in School

    When I first started out I took over from a nurse that was retiring, she came in for a few hours to show me some things. I had already been a sub at a lot of places so I knew the job, but she showed...
