1. Since we are all talking about secretaries

   littleINlpn replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

   Mine too!!! And we have had volunteers to do some filing so i had to go through every student's folder that I didnt have records for because they didn't leave them out for me. It was ridiculous and I am still trying to play catch up!

2. Feeling overwhelmed

   littleINlpn replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

   Thank you for the encouragement and laughs!!! I need to be as witty as you guys are! I do have a database that I put all immunizations in. I am still learning how to work it and noticed I have to update all of the grades in it (it shows the wrong gr...

3. Feeling overwhelmed

   littleINlpn posted a topic in School

   I am in the middle of getting all the immunizations looked over and caught up. I had a parent come in and say "the dr's office called me and said the student is over due for his 6th grade shot, why didnt the school catch that." This parent tries to g...

4. Keyless Lock cabinet

   littleINlpn replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

   Thanks for the feedback! The cabinet we have right now is a black and decker and the lock part is starting to loosen up. What cabinets do you all have? We have a tight budget and the key less cabinet we were looking at is about $220. I also think tha...

5. Keyless Lock cabinet

   littleINlpn posted a topic in School

   I am updating my medication cabinet and the admin has asked about a key less cabinet, it allows for 2 passwords to be used for it. Have any of you used one? Pros? Cons?

6. School Medical Aide- Looking for some ground rules for teachers

   littleINlpn replied to Amethya's topic in School

   I was having the same problem for the past couple weeks and I finally sent an email out telling teachers when to students down, I have not had one student today! It has been great getting work done than putting on unnecessary band-aids and such. Good...

7. Self harm situation

   littleINlpn replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

   I have been able to talk with her daily which seems to help (her and I) and she is pretty open with everything that I have asked or discussed. She hasn't had anymore episodes of biting herself or any other self harming. We are having a counselor come...

8. Self harm situation

   littleINlpn replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

   I wish we had a guidance counselor also. I am not "the" person for all health related issues, she was sent to the office this morning because of the bite on her arm and teacher wanted her to see me. I was told all of this information from the office ...

   We don't have one, unfortunately.

10. Self harm situation

    littleINlpn posted a topic in School

    This isn't totally nursing related but I have a 7th grade student who gets upset and then bites herself on her arm. It is a newer thing, I believe, and she states she has never broken the skin. She seems to have a lot going on in her life but she isn...

    Last day is June 10th. Our school is moving to another building so I have to help with the move the 13th and 14th...

12. Feeling like I'm doing everything wrong lately

    littleINlpn posted a topic in School

    (sorry long, venting post) Last week was awful. Had a parent upset at me because their child vomited here at school yet he wants to play outside when he got home (she called 3 times to complain about this). Among other things, I felt like parents we...

13. Scarlet Fever

    littleINlpn posted a topic in School

    I was just told by a teacher that one of her students has scarlet fever. Oh joy. We are a fairly new public charter school and when I came in there was a nurse who had helped start up the school, so there are some policies that just haven't been made...

14. Ringworm

    littleINlpn replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

    Thanks all! Those were my thoughts too. I feel like they expect me to do some magic spells and get rid of everything. I don't want parents to worry over this if I sent letters home, I have other things to worry about.

15. Ringworm

    littleINlpn posted a topic in School

    Before our spring break I had 2 students (sisters) have ringworm. I spoke with their mom and she had been treating them and it was being covered up here at school. Now we are back from our 2 week break and another student in class has it and the teac...
