In nursing school, we learned the perfect way to change from non-uniform into uniform to appease teachers and administration. I, for one, went to a diploma school in the dark ages and I gosh-diddly-darn-well learned that in nursing school! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I liked it when I saw it in the school catalog but in actuality it looked ridiculous on me and got knocked on crib tops and IV poles. I kept forgetting that it added 3 inches to my height. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vaseline? What's vaseline? I don't have any. See...for the high schoolers, I had no Vaseline. I hate Vaseline. Here in PK-7 I find that the littles just.can.not if their lips are chapped. Unfortunately parents cannot manage to slip a chapstick in the backpack and/or the kids lose it immediately. It's a harmless intervention (even though I hate petroleum on lips). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless it was a brown recluse, then that is a thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
May 20 by ana010 Are you a credible source? Add your Credentials, Experience, etc. 98 Posts; 2,057 Profile Views When I changed campuses several years ago, I refused to deal with clothing as a nursing issue. Or shoes or glasses. I will help anyone, but this is not a nursing issue. Any staff member may help with these issues. It made me unpopular with a few people, but I was still able to sleep at night. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One day our principal came in and we were both here, she asked for a band aid and I asked why, she said she wants it from my wife. I look down and her toe is bleeding in... flip flops. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are an injured ankle waiting to happen... When I work at the camp in the summer, I cringe everyday while I see the kids running around the dirt roads and tramping through the woods in flip flops. They come to the health center with a sore ankle and I tell them that the first thing they need to do is go to their cabin and put on gym shoes- not crocs, not some other pair of sandals- and then they can come back an ice it for a bit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
