1. Bags?

   Morganalefey posted a topic in Home Health

   Hi Everyone! I"m new to HH nursing, it's been approximately 2mos. So far, I love it! The autonomy, the flexibility, the patients, the money....not so much the OAIS, lol. Anyway, does someone have a bag they recommend that I can order online? My agen...

   ahahahahah! That's cute!

3. Dealing with teachers

   Morganalefey replied to SassyTachyRN's topic in School

   Maybe this isn't the right attitude, but when I get a sleepy kid, I call the parent and make it their problem. I work in a school that is PreK-4th grade. In my opinion, they aren't being productive when they are falling asleep in class. They aren't g...

4. Do you feel that School Nurses are respected in the school system???

   Morganalefey replied to Biglos94's topic in School

   Mostly what Flare said. They don't really notice me much until they need me. BUT, they do include me in stuff and bring me treats, etc (mostly, sometimes I get forgotten). But I really kinda like that no one is up my butt hounding me all day like the...

5. I'm just so confused. :(

   Morganalefey replied to Stitchy's mom's topic in School

   What specifically is it you are confused about? I see my students, I document, I cya, and that is my priority. The immunizations, etc, are 2nd hat to that. I will get that done, when I get that done. We have over 500 kids in my school, and while th...

6. How often do you check for lice?

   Morganalefey replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

   We have a no-nit policy as well. I checked 104 kids today, d/t a sibling set having them. I found ONE kid. Ugh. Anyway, I only check if there is suspicion of lice. The one I found, when mom came to pick her up, stood in the office CRYING and picking...

7. What are the possibilities for a school nurse to get a job at a hospital?

   Morganalefey replied to natka303's topic in School

   You have a Master's and you're going to be a school nurse?! Yikes. I don't want to be rude, but you are going to be making peanuts for your education!!! Anyway, I work PRN in the hospital along w/my school nurse job, BUT I had the hospital job first ...

8. Any School Nurses out there who travel abroad every yr during the summer?

   Morganalefey replied to bella201's topic in School

   haha! I wish!! Nope. I work 2 days a week at my PRN hospital job, and spend the rest of the summer with my littles. They go to school in the same district I work in, so we have the same days off :)

9. Victory!

   Morganalefey replied to stephaniehowe's topic in School

   How on earth did you do that?! I have at least 20 kindy kids who I don't have records on, and that doesn't include the list of new students who AREN'T kindy that I don't have immunizations on! I sent my "nice letter" out on 8/22. Stuff is coming in a...

10. "My tooth is loose"

    Morganalefey posted a topic in School

    Not bleeding. Not out. Just loose. WHY do teachers send them to me for this?!?! I will NOT pull out teeth. Ick! What am I supposed to do about this?!?! Vent over. Hope everyone's back to school is going smoothly!

11. I think I'm going to have to quit

    Morganalefey replied to Morganalefey's topic in School

    You are very right!!! He has been behind me in ALL of this, for the record. He called her and told her she could not babysit anymore and why. She hasn't seen my kids since she did what she did over a month ago. I don't know if/when she will see them ...

12. I think I'm going to have to quit

    Morganalefey replied to Morganalefey's topic in School

    I wish I could cut her out completely. But, that is my husband's mother, and he still loves her, despite the disgusting things she has done. She will only see them when there are LOTS of people around to monitor what words come out of her nasty mouth...

13. I think I'm going to have to quit

    Morganalefey replied to Morganalefey's topic in School

    Just a lil' update on this :) I did apply to a home health position, I have not heard anything about it yet. I'm back full time at the school now (school went back in session 8/13). Annnddd....yesterday, I get an email that any employee of my school ...

14. Chapstick dispenser needed!

    Morganalefey replied to stephaniehowe's topic in School

    Vaseline and Qtips here too. I can't believe they shell out for chapstick!

15. I think I'm going to have to quit

    Morganalefey replied to Morganalefey's topic in School

    I make $720/week before taxes. $150/week = $600/month. That's a lot of $$$! Especially since I only need about 2hrs/day. I'm thinking about going into home health. I could start my day after the kids were at school. Then I could pay for after school ...
