   Nurse2Kids replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

   Ours do use lanyards as hall passes, as that's how they get through security buzzers (must swipe pass to get through door). I do understand how you feel about these! They're contaminated weapons! This year I cut neon orange paper in half, printed "N...

   Nurse2Kids replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

   Printer in the nurse's office seems like a horrible idea! My vent over a recent event: I told office staff one morning, "If ____ _____ comes in to see me, make sure you call me". Student has serious health hx and mom called that morning to discuss s...

5. I don’t know if I like school nursing

   Nurse2Kids replied to nursex23's topic in School

   This is my second year as a school nurse, and I honestly had no idea how much paperwork would slow me down. The documentation (mostly manual for me) is so time consuming! As far as the frequent flyer, maybe try a different approach with her. Is the b...

6. MiddleSchool health office

   Nurse2Kids replied to nycNurse2b's topic in School

   Nothing at all on my walls. It's a tiny office, and I feel like I'm always wiping everything down. I don't have a window to the outside, so thought about buying a wall decal with a scenic window, just to make it feel a little less closed in. Our masc...

    Nurse2Kids replied to Nurse2Kids's topic in School

    Thank you everyone. I don't have a problem at all sharing the records, but just didn't know if there was a reason I should have them sign they were receiving the records.

13. using my personal phone instead of school provided

    Nurse2Kids replied to Nurse2Kids's topic in School

    I love this, and feel the school would most likely provide me a phone, if I presented the idea the right way. May I ask how you obtain consent? Do you gather consent on every student at the beginning of the year, or on a prn basis throughout the year...

14. using my personal phone instead of school provided

    Nurse2Kids posted a topic in School

    The school hasn't provided me with a phone. All the staff uses their own telephones. I only use with staff, not parents. If I had a school provided phone, could I send photos to parents when they're requesting to a have photo sent to them? What ab...

    I was out of boys pants, and hit the jackpot at a local yard sale. I told the lady what I was buying them for, and she sold me all the nice boys pants/shorts she had. I think I paid $6 for 24 pair. Yes, it was my money, but if I went to admin to ask ...
