   Ugh! I have been trying to order mine and can't get it to go to through, just keep getting the "we are facing women issues on this page".

2. How to spot fakers and send them to class quickly?

   Txschoolrn replied to Amethya's topic in School

   I cannot love this post enough! I thought I was being a meanie. I treat my students like I do my own kids and if you aren't throwing up in my trash can or running a fever, off you go. Sometimes we just don't feel good and that is OK. We ALL have to ...

4. Snow Day!

   Txschoolrn replied to Eleven011's topic in School

   So jealous! We rarely get snow days here in Texas. They usually just close down the schools if there is a smidge chance there might be ice on the road because none of us Texans know how to drive on ice. Just watch the news! It's horrible!

   Let the two weeks before Christmas break shenanigans begin! Had a parent call me to let me know that LD forgot to take anti-seizure med this morning, but "she should be fine just wanted you to be on alert" not to mention that I have asked multiple t...

7. IHPs

   Txschoolrn posted a topic in School

   Hello! How up-to-date are your IPH's? I have been a school nurse going on 2 years and I have only done a handful. I know they probably need to be done, but (1) where to find the time, and (2) just seems like added busy work as I am the only nurse a...

9. Immunization Drama

   Txschoolrn replied to Amethya's topic in School

   I would apologize as well and *if* you have the time, follow up with the students pediatricians office. However, when parents put up a struggle, I just say it's not my rules, rather the state's, so I have no wiggle room. It is what it is. You either ...

    Txschoolrn replied to rnknsn's topic in School

    Welcome! I completely feel ya, and unfortunately that is the standard of training for school nurses. For your screenings, you might try to google search private companies to help if you don't think you'll get your certifications in time. Or maybe ev...

12. My school doesn't "do" Halloween

    Txschoolrn replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Our k-12 school not only does costumes, they also do trick or treating for the elementary. Always makes me a nervous mess because even though we say no nut candies, parents always buy whatever.

14. Silly rant, but people keep steeling my tissues

    Txschoolrn replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I have one staff member that takes handfuls of the cough drops. Drives me bonkers! Like dude, they are here for an as-needed basis, not to stock your pockets every time you have a tickle in your throat!

15. Not sure what to do...

    Txschoolrn replied to TikiBSN's topic in School

    I had the same problem last year and basically put it all on paper for them including the industry recommendations of nurse to students ratio. I told them everything you said, number of patients, meds, diabetics, chronic care kids, etc. I think its ...
