   Speaking of summer...

   Jacquipals replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

   I am working 10 random days at a local high school to cover their special ed program. Only working 9:00 am- 1:00 pm so not too bad.

   Advice please!

   Jacquipals posted a topic in School

   I am a school nurse at a small school with no guidance counselor to help. A student is going to confide in me that her parent is an alcoholic (according to friends). If I determine that parent is not endangering student, what help do I give her?

   If the parent cannot go, we would have to send a nurse. If we couldn't find a nurse then the entire trip is canceled.

   Jacquipals replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

   Should I stay or should I go now...

   Jacquipals replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

   I am happy but feel like I'm not making the most of my nursing skills (small school, less than 200 kids and I don't give even one daily med!). Salary and commute would be about the same.

   Anyone else thinking about leaving their current job and moving on to another school next year? I work at a great private school but thinking of switching to public for the pension.

    Lack of Manners

    Jacquipals replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I have kids who come in and help themselves to my bandaids and ice packs without asking. Um, hello? I don't go through your locker so don't touch my stuff!

    I had a student with PFAPA- Period Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis, Cervical Adenitis. Would get a fever, go away and come back, and feel fine most of the time. Occasionally would have a minor sore throat.

    Being the ONLY medical personnel

    Jacquipals replied to stephrooth's topic in School

    It was something I thought about often but as I got use to my job, I think of it less. I emailed the staff to see if anyone has any type of medical background. Janitor is a prior EMT and one teacher a former lifeguard. Maybe see if there is anyone...
