   Ice works on my students with eczema! It calms it enough that they don't focus on the itching constantly. May also work for bug bites.

9. Frequent Flyers

   CanIcallmymom replied to Lbarba84's topic in School

   I'm guessing you didn't see where it was encouraged to bring the parents, school administration, and counselors in on the issue to discuss possible bigger problems. If all you got out of this thread was school nurses dismissing student problems, mayb...

    CanIcallmymom replied to Lbarba84's topic in School

    This to a "T"!! After I notice a pattern, I say "does your mom know you've been to see me 18 times this month/week/etc? Let's call your parents right now because maybe something bigger is going on that they need to take you to the doctor for." A...

    I always kind of laugh/cringe at the birthday immunizations as well. Haha, I thought it was just me. And yes, I always see my son's birthdates for shots!

15. Exclusion Guidelines- AHHH

    CanIcallmymom replied to WyVy's topic in School

    Are your schools allowing alternative diagnosis for return from a doctor? Doctors in my area are refusing tests and sending kids back to school with run of the mill issues. Our area's health department says they can return with alternative dx but sai...
