Confesson--from a stalker

[CJforme01]

Good morning! Time for me to 'come clean'. I have been stalking this site for quite some time. This morning I have finally taken the time to join. I must say that I have been impressed over and over again at the wonderful, caring, helpful advice I have received from this site. So, thank you so much and I am happy to be on board. I am a school nurse for 5 years now, still learning every day. Happy Friday!!!

So, I read in Yahoo News that a teacher was found to have put three (#3) children in the trunk of her car.

She said "It's a misunderstanding."

Yuh, uh-huh, right.

Since when is an after school tutor an "educator". What parent would let a tutor cart their kids around period? Is that like a CNA is "almost a nurse" or a "cute nurse alternative"? Seriously and I thought I had issues with my son's school. Thank goodness I have an ally with my son's school nurse.

On the other hand I'm mostly 1:1 in schools with complex students. My kiddos are often most complex trach vent. This classroom has 3 kiddo's trached, plus two other 1:1 nurse students. School policy is one of the school nurses must relieve the 1:1's for the bathroom now (after an issue with a 1:1 assuming another 1:1 nurse was watching their client...it would have been nice if the nurse at least asked the other PDN).

The teacher called for the nurse so i could run before dismissal. She arrived with a smile happy to escape her crazy office. All 5 of us ran to the bathroom (with her blessing) at once. We now call her our super charge nurse able to monitor all 5 kiddo's at once. (All kiddo's were kind enough to be stable and napping at the same time). The teacher was in awe of the ransom synchronicity of the students. And how we managed to find 5 empty staff bathrooms at once.

Okay. Thanks for the link.

Now​, after they have done an "investigation" (looked at the surveillance video which confirmed the kids had been in the car) they are actually charging her with reckless whatever?

How old are these kids?

Glad you have joined! I am still a newbie here and have learned so much from this group of nurses! It's nice to know there are others that totally get it!

WHO has a secret stash of peanut butter?? NO, NO, NO!!

NO peanut butter! What - are you trying to kill somebody? Ok, speaking of that, who's got the epipens?

And to clarify on the saltine...they are always in the sleeve. The sleeve is slightly ripped down the side when open then twisted closed at the top with an old rubber band from the nurse's desk drawer. That helps give those Saltines just the perfect amount of crunchy staleness.

Oh, so healing.
