2. Irritated!! (Vent)

   pvtschoolnurse replied to millhouse's topic in School

   Happened to me yesterday. 3rd grade student comes in with a cough, no fever. She had a dose of Advil and went back to class. Teacher comes in a few minutes later (as I am cleaning up a bleeding student) with the nursing slip in hand and says "I do...

3. AED

   pvtschoolnurse replied to momnurse23's topic in School

   We have one mounted just outside of the nursing clinic and one mounted in the gym (it is in a separate building).

4. Teacher's

   pvtschoolnurse replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

   One teacher remembered yesterday and had her students write me letters (very cute from 1st graders). I went home last night feeling sorry for myself. Today the front office called me down and had flowers and donuts for me. They also sent an e-mail...

5. Self-carrying inhalers

   pvtschoolnurse replied to conscientiousnurse's topic in School

   We let middle schoolers carry their own inhalers with a physician and parent note.

6. What does your weekends look like??

   pvtschoolnurse replied to LACA's topic in School

   I have 2 boys at home so my weekends are packed between them and household stuff. This past weekend however, I actually had a girls weekend with some of my girlfriends that I've known since kindergarten!!!! Nothing but sipping wine and eating choco...

7. Discussing Hygiene with Middle Schoolers

   pvtschoolnurse replied to Flare's topic in School

   I do group teaching with the 5th and 6th graders. If a teacher informs me about a particular student, I talk to the vice-principal for permission to follow-up, then I start with e-mailing the parents to let them know that a teacher has made this obs...

8. Christmas countdown !!

   pvtschoolnurse replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

   11 for me. Then off to sunny Florida to go camping with my boys :)

9. I could SCREAM...

   pvtschoolnurse replied to LACA's topic in School

   It is so frustrating with those types of teachers. I ususally write on my nursing slip exactly what the student tells me. "My teacher said I look sick" or "My teacher said that I look hot" Make sure you keep track of how many students per day/week...

10. That Cough!!!

    pvtschoolnurse replied to 2ndgenschoolnurse's topic in School

    I am allowed to give out cough drops if I have a waiver signed by the parent. If I don't have the waiver, I also hand out peppermints. I rarely will send the student home with just a cough.

11. Parents won't send inhaler to school

    pvtschoolnurse replied to pvtschoolnurse's topic in School

    Here is an update. The mom took him to the doctor's office this morning and he was prescribed 2 meds in ADDITION to his inhaler. Mom came to school and dropped off the inhaler. Funny how things work out.

12. Parents won't send inhaler to school

    pvtschoolnurse replied to pvtschoolnurse's topic in School

    This child was diagnosed last year (after repeated phone calls to the parents requesting that he be seen, it took around 3 months). They finally did send the inhaler to school last year. I know that he has had all of his immunizations, and we do no...

13. Parents won't send inhaler to school

    pvtschoolnurse posted a topic in School

    Hi everyone, I have a first grade student with asthma. I asked his mother twice this year to send in his inhaler. His father had to pick up the child today because he was sick. I asked the father if the student was still using the inhaler and if t...

14. 2nd grade bathroom

    pvtschoolnurse replied to pvtschoolnurse's topic in School

    Sexual abuse was my first reaction also. We have ruled that out. This child is wide open about everything and told me exactly how she "discovered" that area of her body. She also gives me updates from her sessions with her therapist.

15. 2nd grade bathroom

    pvtschoolnurse posted a topic in School

    We have a second grade girl who has been masturbating in class and in the bathrooms. We (the vice principal and I) have had multiple meetings with this student, the student's parents, and even a grandparent. We have a therapist involved and have se...
