1. Diabetic BS question

   aetienn6 replied to GdBSN's topic in School

   Hmmm I 'm not so sure it's a great idea to try to get a blanket guesstimate on how much BG will increase after a carb snack due to variations in different students and even variations in that own students body that can change how their body responds ...

3. Any LPN school nurses?

   aetienn6 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

   I'm an LPN working as a school nurse for 2 years now. I will admit when I first started I felt unqualified (especially with regards to assessments and some of the decision making required) but after a couple of relevant in person and online CEUs, lo...

4. UGH TEACHERS

   aetienn6 replied to mycsm's topic in School

   WOW I can't believe the teacher went above you to call home. Oh wait yes I can. Teachers have done that to me. Then I went to admin about it and principal sent out an email that no teacher is permitted to contact a parent regarding a health or medica...

5. Lunch/break question

   aetienn6 replied to EPIC_nurse's topic in School

   If it's not an urgent situation I let the teacher or assistant know I am on my lunch break and I'll be back in XX minutes. If it's a small cut I tell them wash with soap and water and put a bandaid on from their first aid kits, if it's a stomchache (...

6. Discussing Menstruation With Students

   aetienn6 replied to aetienn6's topic in School

   That's exactly it! My admin said it was the parents responsibility to discuss these things with their children but I know most parents are not discussing anatomy and bodily processes at home.

7. Discussing Menstruation With Students

   aetienn6 replied to aetienn6's topic in School

   Hi everyone thank you for your comments. For those of you that asked, I was not notifying admin of my discussion with the indicated student per se as that is not required. I actually went to speak to admin about the discussion of puberty and reprodu...

   aetienn6 posted a topic in School

   Hi Everyone! So I had a very interesting day at work today involving a young girl with special needs getting her first period. She had no idea what it was or why it was happening and was exhibiting a lot of anxiety related to the situation. I did bri...

9. How large is your school?

   aetienn6 replied to txbootsy's topic in School

   For all of you that see 30+ students per day, how do you guys do it? As far as managing documentation, phone conversations with parents, and all the administrative duties that come with the job? Do you guys have other nurses that work with you?

    Thanks for all the responses everyone! Both the positive and constructive comments are well appreciated. This site is amazing. I hope one day that i'll be able to help a fellow nurse as much as you all have helped me. This is like a giant support net...

11. Will I get in trouble with the State Board of Nursing

    aetienn6 replied to aetienn6's topic in School

    Seriously! Kind of along the lines of what my boss kept trying to get me to understand>>no matter what parents can always find a problem, stay within your limits, and do the best you can. I would probably add, if you have to question it, don't ...

    Snowyj, thank you for saying that. Even if I do end up having problems I just needed to hear someone say that.

    My thoughts exactly. I won't be making this mistake again. Lesson learned.

14. Will I get in trouble with the State Board of Nursing

    aetienn6 replied to aetienn6's topic in School

    Man I wish I could have had that. This first year has been a big learning experience for me for sure. I am going to join NASN and have been doing my best to take CEUs relevant to my practice. For the future I will be erring on the side of caution rat...

15. Will I get in trouble with the State Board of Nursing

    aetienn6 replied to aetienn6's topic in School

    I thought the parents were way overreacting as well but truth is it is a medication. I do not want any problems with the board or any negative notes on my license, especially over something like TAO! I don't have an order for it at this point so I ha...
