  1. Vaseline without parental permission?

    We don't have many policies unfortunately ?
  2. We routinely use vaseline for a variety of reasons, but now one of my colleagues is being questioned for putting vaseline on a child without the parent's permission. She expected a phone call or note that vaseline was applied. Another parent chimed ...
  3. Health Office Anywhere Problems

    Thank you for the input...it seems so slow compared to the old program that wasn't web based. But I guess it isn't just our system!
  4. Health Office Anywhere Problems

    For those of you that use Health Office Anywhere... Is it normal for there to be such a lag time? We just switched to this from the "old" Health Master that wasn't web based. It seems when you open anything, whether it be an office visit or a vision ...
  5. Should a new grad RN?....

    I can see it both ways.... experience provides a good knowledge base, but at the same time, you can never be totally prepared for the ER! You will see any and everything in the ER. I have seen quite a few new nurses do well in the ER. And because yo...
  6. Do you wear scrubs?

    I always stick to scrubs, but I am expecting in February, so this year I have been wearing "street clothes". I didn't want to shell out a ton of money in maternity scrubs AND maternity clothes. I am down to one scrub top I can still wear. The other n...
  7. Why? Why? Why?

    Yes...all so annoying. I get a lot of earring issues also. This morning a teacher sent a girl down because her earring fell out and she wanted it to be put back in. No blood, drainage, redness, or any sort of problem - just to literally put an earrin...
  8. We've all been venting

    WOW! I can't believe what I am reading! That is absolutely ridiculous - so incredibly rude and unprofessional! As you said, I would definitely not meet alone with him again. If you have a supportive supervisor, I would have a talk with them. If tha...
  9. School nurse sallary when you have a family?

    I completely agree! If you have another job that makes more money, you may have more disposable income, but if you aren't happy, it isn't worth it. I'm expecting #2 in February. My husband and I are pretty tight money wise, which is why I waited unti...
  10. Reference materials?

    I am not sure what state you are in, but we have the New York State Center for School Health Website. It has a "school nurse tool kit" with sample letters and notifications, along with a ton of info in general. New York Statewide School Health Servi...
  11. Staying home day after fever?

    I also hate that it is worded fever free for 24 hours...the parents can say well they didn't have a fever at 12:00pm when I got them home, so they can technically come back at 12:00pm the next day. When class starts at 9:30am, am I really supposed to...
  12. Staying home day after fever?

    Just wondering what you all do with the kids who come in the day after having a fever? They are supposed to be staying home for 24 hours after the fever, but of course that rule is not frequently followed by parents. I had a kiddo go home with a 101...
  13. Feeling burnt out

    I thought it was just me feeling this way! I am so over this job right now! Especially the day after Halloween - I've had so many upset bellies. Well if you eat a pound of candy, duh you won't feel good! Today all the upset bellies are getting a temp...
  14. I'm a Man, Can I be Successful as An OB Nurse

    As others have said, it may depend on where you are working. If you are in a small unit/hospital, it may be an issue. I personally would prefer an OB nurse to be female, BUT if the male nurse had a good personality and was able to put me at ease, the...
  15. What does your school do for Halloween?

    We have a half day at the elementary schools. So it's basically the Halloween Parade and classroom parties.
