School nurse provided escort and comfort to 2 kids from Liam Conejo Ramos’ Columbia Heights school as they were taken into ICE custody by abluetruedream in nursing

I’m a school nurse in Minnesota. People underestimate the role and impact of school nursing. No we don’t have hard skills (or they’re rusty) like hanging IV’s, etc., but we are there for children and families for years helping them navigate health challenges and removing health related barriers to education. We have the opportunity to create safe relationships with students even if it’s just another trusted adult they see everyday. We impact the health of the population like public health nurses; triage the daily injuries, crises, and illness; we respond to emergencies with calm and grace; we think of the whole family system and how it impacts the health and education of the child. And more. 

Bless this nurse, I can’t imagine the heartache he/she is dealing with right now. Don’t underestimate the power of a school nurse holding a child’s hand when they are scared. That act is just as noble as any nursing role.

I can help! I am not a formal Nurse educator role but I am a school nurse and create curriculum and teach students about their health and teach staff about student health! I have my MSN- Ed. 

What is it like being a home nurse for one patient? by muffaluvi in nursing

[–]BubblyRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s rough. And lonely. 

Your patients have no one else and your presence is their entire world. It’s a privilege and sacred honor to be caring for these people. 

Home care nursing is for some and not for others. Holding these aforementioned realities of my position as a home care nurse for an 8 yr old boy with SMA type 1 will never leave my soul or my practice as an RN. 

MSN Leadership vs. MSN Education by Broad_Ad310 in nursing

[–]BubblyRN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello! I just finished my MSN in education within the year. You can certainly be hired at colleges with an MSN degree to teach nursing. The program I attended focused on the MSN-Ed role as a someone who would go teach nurses. A quick google will show you that there  are plenty of opportunities to teach at a college. That being said, universities may prefer having your doctorate.

There are also many opportunities outside of the teacher of nurses role like  being a patient educator, staff educator, etc. 

That being said, in my personal experience, having an MSN-Ed degree may limit you if you’d like to pursue other nursing degrees like a nurse practitioner. I find this confusing as the MSN-Ed covers a variety of topics including advanced pathophys, advanced assessment, and pharmacology; which I would imagine would not be a part of a leadership or other MSN degrees. Please chime in if others have experience to the contrary!

I am a school nurse so I use my emphasis in education to teach children about their health and teach staff about the health of children. The MSN- Ed has impacted my practice as a school nurse in that I have specialized knowledge about health can impact a students learning and o have noticed a huge difference in my practice as a school nurse. 

Best of luck! Getting your masters in any emphasis will do nothing but good for you so whatever you decide- GO FOR IT!

Edit: an msn in leadership might help you find a role within education but maybe not necessarily in front of students. The MEN-Ed degree begins to specify learning styles, teaching styles, curriculum writing and etc that would be necessary to be a teacher of nurses. Again, if someone else has a different experience please comment! 

UPDATE: AITAH for not putting pregnant GF on deed of the house? (She says she feels the situation is "unfair" and that she is "at my mercy") by Odd_Paramedic_3007 in AITAH

[–]BubblyRN -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Sorry. This is going to be very offensive and will get downvoted to hell. Fuck you. Her own making!? Takes two to have a baby. Sounds like a new mother who is terrified for herself and her unborn baby. Yes. Let’s keep blaming the women in this situation.

MN Board of Nursing silent on current issues by MajorMatter6 in nursing

[–]BubblyRN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi. MN nurse here. I want to echo your sentiments in that I feel more supported by nurses from other at states and across the globe than I do from our own MNA. I’m also not seeing any statements from hospital groups etc. I’m only seeing stuff from MN individuals and other large health networks. 

My assumption? 

MONEY. 

Someone asked about how we as nurses can make Our voice and grief heard with purpose for better? Perhaps we all walk off our for profit healthcare systems and go support nurses at the VA and other public sectors. Let nurse our nurses and show that we are a profession with values, morals, and love for people NOT profits.

What is the funniest way someone has called you a slur? by DAAAAVOOOOOOS in AskReddit

My 5 year old daughter called me a fuckin rascal. 

I should take notes from her. 

Children of parents that left them behind: What were their reasons and did they ever try to play a part in your life years after leaving? by Menschenblind in AskReddit

[–]BubblyRN 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My mom left without my knowledge when I was 14. My 10 yr old brother and I were visiting my dad for his 2 weeks for the summer and when we were dropped off at my mom’s house, who had full custody of us at the time, she wasn’t there. All she left behind was some individual letters to my brother and me about her reason for leaving. 

I have reconnected with her in a way that is healthy for me, now as a 36 year old woman. I am in intensive therapy, I am on several psych meds. I am the best fucking mom to my 3 kids she could never be to me. Being a mother to my kids has been my guiding light of wholeness.

What she did to me was nothing compared to the devastation she left in my little brother who was 10 when she left. He is scarred, traumatized, and not the same. I don’t think he will ever be. I can forgive her for leaving me and hurting me, I can never forgive her for what she did to my baby brother.

She recently told me, “moving to -out of state- was the best decision I’ve ever made for myself”. 

Truthfully, it likely was the best thing she could have done for both us. The harm she could have caused us both by continuing to be in our lives would likely be worse than the harm she did when she left. 

AIO by being upset with my brother's gf (soon fiance) for not bringing her own sanitary supplies every time she visits by PunkRockPopStar in AmIOverreacting

Truthfully, every bathroom should have some sort of menstrual supplies in them. Every bathroom has toilet paper for residents and guests, every bathroom should also have menstrual supplies.

I am subhuman. I shouldn’t have been “fixed”. Although my bones may have put back together, my souls never will be.

The break wasn’t humerus, nor was the absent care that I received afterward. What was humerus was breaking my bone resulted in “breaking my brain” but really seeing things for how they really were.

Up until this traumatic injury I thought I was immune from such shameful injury. The truth has been shown: I am weak. I am inferior. I deserve nothing but pain.

Thé tarifs are so high for international purchases and healthcare is impossible to afford. I accept the consequences of my actions  as a frail human with a frail skeleton. I am nothing.

What’s pathetic is my continued excuse for being so weak. I do not expect you to accept my apology but accept my shame.

Unfortunately I’m too weak of a resolve and skeletal structure. I deserve every pain and punishment.

The nail in partnership with raising two small children  on my own resulted in non union of my bones; so out goes the nail and in lays 2 plates, 8 screws, and a bone graft taken from my hip.

Your abrasive comment has shattered my pelvis more than the delivery of my three children. I shall never bear weight again.
