1. Dear staff

   I wish I knew about my staff members' health, they gather health info on everyone and then ship it off to central office. Because? That's not convenient at all!!!!

2. Dear staff

   kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

   They are fine. I had them seen at an ED, however, since she had back pain and wasn't ambulating well at ALL. But she's fine. They gave Advil. Which, honestly, why give a med that's going to take a long time to even help?

   Amazing! So glad you were there and that EMS was close by!

   I applaud your response, but if you ever lift a human that is obviously too dazed to lift themselves, OR MEDICATE THEM FOR PAIN, before I get there to assess, I will happily, and privately berate you for it. I sent out an all staff email applauding ...

5. What does your cafeteria offer to drink?

   kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

   Our cafe only has a bubbler (no cups), and the school water tastes funk, and bottled water for sale on top of the cost of lunch. According to the school RN who is in charge of wellness, the federal guidelines are why water is not an option on the ho...

   kummerspeck replied to kidzcare's topic in School

   We started school Tuesday, have today and Monday off for the Labor Day weekend. School was open though, for us to go in if we wanted, and since I'm a new and have 1 million things to do (and otherwise I would have spent the day home with my three mi...

7. What does your cafeteria offer to drink?

   kummerspeck posted a topic in School

   What fluids are your students offered in the cafeteria at lunch? I mean within the hot lunch line? Just milk and juice? Do any of your lines offer water as an option without an additional cost?

8. Talking to the masses...

   kummerspeck replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

   I've talked with my admin about the kids using their cell phones to call home and ask parents to pick them up. School policy says they can't use their cell phone at school, so they can get in trouble for that when they do it, but at least I know my ...

9. When that impossible to reach, non compliant family finally send in the epi-pen

   kummerspeck replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

   I laugh, but when I got in my office, all, and I do mean ALL of the creams/lotions/ointments that I am supposed to use on my students were expired. Everything. Like...some in 1994. I had to do a rush order and reorder EVERYTHING.

10. Talking to the masses...

    kummerspeck posted a topic in School

    Monday, I have to give a five minute chat to the teachers about myself and what they need to know about the health office. This should go fine, I've been a teacher, I'm not so worried about that. Tuesday, I have to talk to the entire sixth grade stu...

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]24832[/ATTACH]I changed so much stuff about my office. It had looked the same for a very very very long time. Now, the guidance office has started to copy me. I wanted everything to look comfortable and welcoming. (Middle School)

14. I'm back...with questions

    kummerspeck replied to KSM-RN's topic in School

    I hope I never have a parent who wants me to use an essential oil like lavender on their kid. I'm allergic to most flowers and severely allergic to some flowers. Sorry, no can do.

15. IHP? How often are you doing them?

    kummerspeck replied to Schoolnurse73's topic in School

    I have diabetic/seizure/asthma careplans, all of which seem to hit most of my regulars. I do have a few odd little ducks that don't really fit in those categories because they have an unusual diagnosis, so I'll check their 504s and IEPs, and possibl...
