Today I am at a school nursing conference. It is two days long and is mandated by the state of Massachusetts. I remind you again that it is a nursing conference; everyone attending is a registered nurse. Which means they went nursing school.

The title of the first slide was "What are Microbes?"

This is going to be a long day.

...and now we're bogged down in a discussion of what constitutes a valid prescriber's signature. Lordy.

Live blogging a nursing conference. It's come to this.

Well, I'm home sick, so this is the most entertaining thing right now.

Just spent a solid half hour talking about Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Specifically as it pertains to medical records. OMG I AM SO PUMPED!

They keep telling us Massachusetts is the gold standard for school nursing. Just think of all those school nurses in Alabama and Montana wishing they were sitting in the Holiday Inn hotel and conference center in Marlboro, Massachusetts right now.

I think tomorrow I'm smoking a joint in the parking lot before I go in to the conference.

Now we're doing "cultural competence." Ad since I KNOW you want the definition...

A set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and policies that enable a system, agency, or group of professionals to work effectively in cross-cultural situations.

Must... control... fist of death...

Now we're talking about the McKinney-Vento law. This just keeps getting better and better.

[Evil Rudekker]

What's the McKinney-Vento Law?

[ᗅᗺᗷᗅ]

It has to do with providing homeless students access to education, which is an admirable goal, of course. But -- and here I know you'll find this hard to believe -- it's a little dry.

McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act

But that's passé anyway. Now we're talking about electronic health record documentation.

Jealous yet?

Post counter stalker.

[Jon32492]

lol I am a stalker, ask PV. any time we get a new recruit, or if ANYONE registers on the forums, I notice and I fucking watch their activity pretty much until they complete the academy. lol. He's pointed out a number of times that I stalk people. But he kinda likes it. lol.

But I do have a reason for doing so. Usually, it's to tell whether or not I can go do something else or if I should wait for them to post an application or something.

Yeah this was one long, boring day. And I have to do it again tomorrow. Still, I guess it's a break from the office, and at least they're giving us free lunch. But I really hate this sort of thing.
