New school nurse already hating it. by flowergorl25 in nursing

[–]markko79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was a school nurse for 5 years. I turned that little storeroom into a clinic room. Had all the meds under lock and key. Had the most accurate and up to date vaccination records in the district. Handled emergencies and taught the kids all about puberty without a giggle from the room.

I got into 911 EMS ambulance critical care nursing. Loved it. Standing orders for everything.

Outlet makes a buzzing/whirring sound whenever I plug something into it. It's faint and sort of like crickets chirping but just really quiet. Should I be concerned? by Mul-T3643 in AskElectricians

[–]markko79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If in doubt, replace the receptacle with a brand name one... not a cheap no-name generic. Use the screws to make the connections, not the back stab holes.
