   I would think the law trumps policy.

3. Teacher appreciation week...

   Windchaser22 replied to nmr79's topic in School

   I put the NASN poster on my door. Won't do any good but I just had to. I might put my cap on the skeleton with thoughts of a meme like school nurses waiting for recognition.

6. Stomachaches

   Windchaser22 replied to khaley69's topic in School

   This! I finally got fed up with kids coming FROM lunch that I had a chat with the aides and found out they were afraid someone MIGHT vomit. Kidsninhale their food and yes get stomachaches. I told them unless someone actually vomits, to stop sending m...

7. what's your favorite...

   Windchaser22 replied to wonderfullyanonymous's topic in School

   The schedule, for sure. Unlike any other job or profession, there is a start and end to each year with a boat load of time to reset in between. Everyone else drones on endlessly with the requisite 2 week vacation per year if your lucky, with no end i...

   Windchaser22 replied to NYschoolnurse's topic in School

   And then are you expected to be "the nurse" for everyone at this school sponsored event? Where is the line drawn if the district is paying you as a school nurse attending the event? Just wondering...

10. Med Schedule

    Windchaser22 replied to MegWorth's topic in School

    What everyone else said...also, adding to privacy, students are nosey and don't need to know that Susie or Mike needs a med. Bullying is a big problem. No reason to give them a reason.

11. Did you replace a school nurse?

    Windchaser22 replied to OldDude's topic in School

    Yes, prior nurse was there for 15 years and the one before that from the 1950's. Last nurse had ancient pamphlets and triplicate information. I think my vision screener is an original lol. First year was tough, no one ever did electronic charting bef...

    Windchaser22 replied to nmr79's topic in School

    Technically I report to the superintendent but in reality to my principal who is a most excellent boss lady.

14. Stocking OTC meds at elementary school level

    Windchaser22 replied to nursetlm's topic in School

    I don't stock OTC's (except neo, aquaphor etc) and am slowly putting an end to cough drops. I do have standing orders but the parents are required to fill out an OTC form and bring the meds in if they want Tylenol, visine, etc. I have little kiddos s...
