1. What is the role of the guidance department in your High School?

   Dattebayo posted a topic in School

   I'm new to high school this year. Was elementary up until this school year. The guidance department at the high school seems to be almost wholly focused on scheduling and career things. They don't really "follow" and "check-in regularly" with kids...

   Teacher sent a student down who tells me his stomach was hurting earlier, and also his head. "Are they hurting now?" No. "Ok.. go back to class." C'MON!

4. Not my role... admin rant

   Dattebayo posted a topic in School

   So. This morning, almost immediately as school started, the administrator sent 2 students to my office without telling me why. The only thing I could get from the 2 boys, was that the one had spit in the other's face. So I took them by the hands, a...

5. What is this? Dermatological question.

   6 year old child. Started on tip of nose a month ago, but went away. Child with runny nose and area has returned, bigger this time. None are open or crusty. My question, if it IS a herpes rash, is he ok to be in school, so long as nothing is open or ...

9. Ear aches

   Dattebayo posted a topic in School

   Sooo....do people not use hydrogen peroxide to rinse out ears anymore? I don't know how much it actually does, but it usually appeases my "ear aches." If not, what do you recommend? Assuming no fever.

10. What do you do with your "Stomachache" kids?

    Dattebayo replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I love the idea of providing "Yucky Buckets!"

11. Poll: What age group?

    Dattebayo replied to villageRN's topic in School

    K-2 here! Perfect ages! They're mostly so sweet and loving. I get so many hugs everyday : )

12. Sub vent

    Dattebayo replied to Duncan6's topic in School

    I bet they HAVE to say they are only considering CSNs. I was hired as an RN in my current position without the CSN, by saying I would work towards it. I think letters of recommendation from current teachers/principal will go a LONG way to getting you...

13. Admin insists kids sneeze on hands, not sleeves!

    Dattebayo replied to Dattebayo's topic in School

    One would think...but she HAS to be right!

14. Who uses the restroom in your office?

    Dattebayo replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    I'm in a charter and I have no bathroom in my office either! Thank goodness it's next door though. I guess it's because charters often use buildings that were not built to be schools.

15. What to wear?

    Dattebayo replied to Duncan6's topic in School

    I wear scrubs. The district I subbed in previously, the nurses wore casual attire. I specifically asked about it when I subbed, and they said "something easy to move around in." Makes sense to me! And yeah...I'd rather not get fluids on my real cloth...
