4. Are we done yet???

   ERschoolRN replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

   I told mom that I would call his teacher and remind him before lunch...the trick is the days i'm tied up like yesterday and dont see that it's past time until it's past! I call for every other check. I just think going to lunch should be a reminder i...

7. Elementary nurses - teacher referral?

   ERschoolRN replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

   I have been having similar things. I don't mind seeing any kid but most of them go back to class. I don't get much push back. I think it's just the time of the year they're all worried they will get sick! I wish I had an email the parents option! For...

   I totally agree. Oddly I haven't heard much since getting the all clear with my son and have no quetions from parents....maybe they really did direct questions to the health dept like the note said!

10. Help Please!

    ERschoolRN replied to JLA's topic in School

    1. I would say the hardest thing is the lack of comraderie. You don't have a "team" and coming from ER I was used to that. I am confident in my own assessments but I miss a sounding board which is why i have started hanging around here. ;-) 2. Some d...

11. Vomit Emergency

    ERschoolRN replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Our district policy is that a grown up has to witness said vomiting to be a reason to go home. Everyone loves that. Haha. If no one has witnessed I always PO challenge. If no fever and they hold water down (and don't look pale and sick) they go back ...

14. Sensitive topic--Pertussis

    ERschoolRN replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

    Thanks! That sounds way more organized than what i've gone through this week. I think the biggest issue was the doctor who is in charge at DoH was out on monday when the info came through. I guess it could be worse. So far I haven't heard of any more...

    ERschoolRN replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

    thankfully i have no unvaxed or exemption kids. that made it easier. But they are only telling me to report "severe cough" at this point which my child did not fall into the category.
