   Nightmare Principals Man...

   SnowDark38 replied to SnowDark38's topic in School

   Update: So I had the meeting. Fun times, let me tell you. The principal immediately starts off with "let me explain my line of reasoning" and provides the whole "my parental instincts kicked in" argument. Basically, what everything came down to is th...

   Our system requires 3 years at a school before you can move. ? But this Principal had 19 complaints made against her last year...and probably will have even more this year because we have an anonymous union meeting coming up where we can file complai...

   What's worse is that I wasn't even out of the building. I was in my office monitoring the student who was wheezing. ?

   Oh yes! I called my supervisor as soon as I got that email in the morning. I was going to address the situation myself once I got to school the next morning after I cooled off. But then I got that email and I never used my speed dial so fast.

   Asthma, no inhaler, WWYD?

   SnowDark38 replied to nursex23's topic in School

   It can be really scary when that happens. Especially when you have younger ones who don't always tell their teacher that they're having trouble breathing. Everyone's pretty much right. As long as she had high 90s sats and was not deteriorating, give ...

   Story time. TLDR Principal calls 911 for a non-emergent. Doesn't notify nurse or parent of 911 call. Blames nurse for "poor judgement" without actually consulting nurse. I had a young student visit me earlier in the day complaining of neck pain. Stu...

   SnowDark38 replied to SnowDark38's topic in School

   Well, this actually happened the other day just now...and it wasn't even when I was going to talk with her. She called my supervisor and told her that I sent a student back to class after the student tried to choke himself. But it was in fact dismiss...

    Thank you all for your responses. I know it was a really long post ? and I really do appreciate you all taking the time to peruse and respond. I do get an option to transfer, but my school system requires two years of service at a school before you c...

    I'm going to preface this by saying this is my 3rd year out of nursing school and my first year as a full-time school nurse. I was a substitute school nurse for 1/2 of the year in 2018 and was offered a job at a school that...suspiciously lost 12 tea...

    Confusing Pay Rates

    SnowDark38 replied to SnowDark38's topic in School

    I was informed by the nurse I'm subbing for that it is a 7.5 hour day, some days a little longer (8 hrs to tie up loose ends). My scheduled hours are 7:15-2:15. But again, I was informed by the nurse that i had a 30 minute break. The letter I receive...

    Confusing Pay Rates

    SnowDark38 replied to SnowDark38's topic in School

    Well, I called the office of payroll. The 190.32 is apparently the equivalent of 29.20/hr for a 6.5 hour day. I don't get paid for lunch, which apparently they allocate an hour. When I came to this school, I was informed I was only allowed 30 minutes...

    Confusing Pay Rates

    I am a substitute school nurse. I love the job. I love the students. All around, it's just great! But I have come across an issue that is baffling me, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue. So when I came onboard I received a letter sta...
