1. Calling parents

   Rubor replied to peacockblue's topic in School

   Wow that's super ridiculous and a complete waste of time.

2. Non compliant Diabetic Students

   Rubor replied to NurseVal93's topic in School

   I have 15 and all but 2 are independent. A call definitely to parents to figure out maybe even that they can become independent and get the orders rewritten. How old are these students?

3. Introduce myself

   Rubor replied to WIpediNP's topic in School

   I hope it all works out for you! It took my district 2-3 months to get back to me when I first applied. Hang in there. You definitely seem like an assets to any district! Good luck and let us know the outcome!

4. Type 1 diabetes

   Rubor replied to cjl_RN's topic in School

   I always check before giving insulin. Do you have a care plan for the student? I will tell ya each student is different so you think you know diabetes but then you have 15 diabetics (that's how many I have). Each family is different and even some...

5. Who has an assistant?

   Rubor replied to nurseshajwani87's topic in School

   I have assistants at my schools, but I am part time so it makes sense.

6. Today....

   Rubor replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

   You are not alone. I have been at this for a bit and I still have those times, especially as things change and responsibilities get added on.

7. Med Schedule

   Rubor replied to MegWorth's topic in School

   Are your orders from doctors written as PRN? Albuterol obviously, but what of the other orders? Do the parents just call you and tell you that so and so got their PRN med at certain time? OR do they not follow some time for administration at home?

8. Diabetic Coverage at all activities

   .....

9. Diabetic Coverage at all activities

   Rubor replied to NYschoolnurse's topic in School

   Be careful about what is put in those 504's your district is putting themselves in a position where they have to follow accommodations that might not be reasonable or easy to meet. I would talk to your district lawyers about this as well.

10. HS student with odor, call nurse?

    Rubor replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I have some supplies: pads, deodorants, soap, and things like that.

11. Doctor notes

    Rubor replied to peaceful nurse's topic in School

    Can you give more information? It really would depend on the situation, so yes I would call.

12. Unknowingly speaking to a doc...

    Rubor replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I did similar. I had no clue this mom was a doctor. I was talking about what doctor offices will do and might do. Yeah she is now my primary care provider.

13. EMS talking down to Nurse

    Rubor replied to heynurse1996's topic in School

    Great job!! I have come across nice ones and not so nice (as with any profession). At the end of the day you did not have the necessary equipment, tools or setting to "wait and see."

14. Who is your boss?

    Rubor replied to nmr79's topic in School

    Like most, my immediate boss is my admin/principal of the building. However, if I have an issue with my admins I start climbing the tree. That would then mean reaching out to my nursing supervisor and then executive director of nurses. While my ad...
