  1. Another soiled clothing vent

    Obviously, when we added the title RN or LPN behind our names we also became more qualified to deal with urine/bm accidents. I have just tried to except it- to a certain degree. This is what I do. I ask for the teachers to request a change of cloth...
  2. do I tell the other school's nurse?

    I am by no means an expert on this topic, but I think student's medical information mostly falls under FERPA regulations. I am sure HIPPA applies in some instances as well. Anyway, as I understand FERPA- information that needs to be shared to insure ...
  3. right or wrong or in between?

    I would have called 911, the parent and stayed put. But now that the situation is over, you don't need to focus on what you should have done. My advise is to focus on what you need to do to ensure this does not happen again. Cut yourself some slack a...
  4. Random Question: med keys?

    We have two set of keys- My set goes home with me, the other set is locked in the safe in the office.
  5. what do you wear on your job?

    Scrubs!! I like having pockets to stash my "stuff".
  6. Weird Requests

    I got this note today. "has green glow in the dark putty stuck to his pants. Would you like to get it out?" I was thinking not really; do you?
  7. Do you assist students with personal hygiene issues from urine or BM accident? I am not talking about students with medical issues or special needs. I am curious how other school nurses handle this.
  8. This is enough to drive me out of School Nursing

    Sorry this happened! Next time--just call! Did your principal say that you had to stay?
  9. Possible finger fx and no answer at home

    Yep! Sounds familiar.
  10. DO YOU SEND HOME????

    At my school, students in 4K- 5th grade are only excluded with purulent drainage. 6th -12th are not excluded.
  11. Privacy in school nurse's office

    More privacy needs to be provided. Could be something as simple as a privacy screen or two. I would not "let it go". Since the principal did not seem to care, I would talk to the superintendent. I am surprised the nurse has tolerated this for so long...
  12. More Strange Baby Names

    Twin girls- Michelle and Knechelle
  13. Meds that you give most often

    Focalin, Vyvanse, Ritalin, Tenex, clonidine, seroquel Should be familiar with: Diastat, Abluterol, epi-pen, glucagon, insulin There are others, but you get the idea.
  14. Totally out of the loop...aargh!

    Do your teachers have to submit paper work to the office prior to the field trip? At my school, the teachers have to have the principal's signature to approve all field trips. On that form there is a signature line for the nurse. The trip is not supp...
  15. Broken Collarbone?!

    Did you check mobility? Didn't mention if you did or not , just curious. I don't think you did anything wrong. How an injury looks can change quickly, how it looked 5 minutes after it happened can be a totally different ballgame 15-30 minutes later. ...
