   fantasie replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in School

   OMG!! I hate to admit it, but I gained somewhere between 75 and 80 pounds my first year! Still working on taking that off and have about 60# off so far. (Thanks to lap-band surgery). It still isn't easy, but at least now, I couldn't eat a whole donu...

   June 8th here. My kids wrestle in Regional and National Tournaments associated with USA Wrestling, and my husband and I are officials with them, so we will be doing what we do every "vacation" going to wrestling tournaments, namely Klammath Falls, ...

   Oops, I guess including how to spell cytomeglovirus. (did I get it right this time?):)

8. Cmv

   fantasie posted a topic in School

   I have a question about CMV. This is in an elementary school. What precautions should be taken by teachers who may be or become pregnant if they know they have a student with CMV in their classroom? I can tell them about the obvious ones like good...

9. Switching jobs ???

   fantasie replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

   What grades does your middle school encompass? Ours are 5th through 8th, so it's kind of like elementary in other places. Good luck in whatever you choose, and keep us posted.

10. Hygiene

    fantasie posted a topic in School

    OK, I'm pretty new at this job, and I need some input. Our principal and a teacher at the high school where I work asked me to call a student into my office and discuss her hygiene (or lack thereof). I was wondering what is the best way to approach...

11. Do You take your patients out for smoke breaks?

    fantasie replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't if I wanted to, I'm a school nurse :) Not that I would want to.

12. Visits per Day

    fantasie replied to zenman's topic in School

    I think it depends on the grade-levels you are seeing, too. In my high-school of about 500, I see about 10 or so a day, but the elementary school nurse with about the same number of students probably sees closer to 40 a day.

13. A school nurse position has fallen into my lap and I'm scared:(

    fantasie replied to MamaCheese's topic in School

    Get in contact with the other nurses in your district, too. They have been an invaluable resource for me. (I have been a school nurse for a whole 3 days, maybe we can hold each other's hands through email.) Linda

14. What do you do First Week of School?

    fantasie replied to guest83140's topic in School

    So far I have been a school nurse for 2 whole days. It has been meetings, meetings and more meetings for me. School actually starts on Monday, though. Hopefully I'll be able to log into my computer by then. I can certainly identify with the "wher...

    fantasie replied to icutech1964's topic in CCU

    On the labor and delivery unit I worked on, our CNA's functioned as unit clerks as well as scrub techs in the OR for C-Sections. I was happy to have them there. Good luck in school, I hope you go for it. :pumpiron:
