  1. OK, I assumed . . .

    NurseBeans replied to tining's topic in School

    I have a letter for ANY bump to the head that explains what assessments I do, and that even though they did not have signs or symptoms in my office there is a list at the bottom of the letter of...

    The pacer test...why, PE teachers,

  3. HIPAA, FERPA and how do you inform teachers about the health concerns in their class?

    NurseBeans replied to cmomrn's topic in School

    When I took the classes required for school nurses in my state, we were told the IHP is for the nurse to use. We were instructed to create an EHP for staff, without a diagnosis on it, about as much...

  4. Need Opinions!

    NurseBeans replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    I know I shouldn't take it to heart but I feel like I am doing my best and frankly...my best has never NOT been good enough. I have never worked so hard and still been looked at as mediocre or worse,...

  5. Need Opinions!

    NurseBeans replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    I vaguely remember a phone conversation, and I wrote down the child's name and the procedure(s), but when the child didn't come to see me in the 3 months following, I felt like the issue had passed. I...

  6. Kids doing this on purpose?

    NurseBeans replied to Amethya's topic in School

    This is shedding some new light on my sudden rash of 4th grade boys with staples in their

  7. ADHD just not understood

    NurseBeans posted a topic in School

    I was in the middle of an IEP meeting when I realized that not only do the parents not understand their children with ADHD, the TEACHERS do not seem to understand it. Does this seem right? As a nurse,...

  8. I think a kid is pocketing pills?!?!

    NurseBeans replied to tippeny's topic in School

    Yes, call mom first and stress this very point. I was told when I started school nursing that I am not allowed to force any student to take medication. But maybe with some gentle questioning and a...

  9. I think a kid is pocketing pills?!?!

    NurseBeans replied to tippeny's topic in School

    Call parents, tell them your concern, ask if they find pills in his pockets? He could be really tired of taking meds, or he doesn't like side effects, or, (perhaps worst of all) he is selling them to...

  10. Random thought of the day

    NurseBeans replied to ana010's topic in School

    Our SRO's are local police officers so they always carry. My brother is a police officer in another town and he recently confessed he carries concealed EVERYWHERE. I'm assuming he means at family...

  12. That's So Fetch! (Pink Wednesdays)

    NurseBeans replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Ok, I am not wearing pink because I don't do pink, but in one of my insane little organizing fits I decided to write in a different color every day of the week. On Wednesdays we write in pink. Am I...

  13. Food parties

    NurseBeans replied to Windchaser22's topic in School

    Our district instituted a ban on anything for parties that is not packaged. That way we have a way of knowing ingredients. I review records every fall and determine which classrooms have to have...

  14. Really?!?

    NurseBeans replied to Nurse_JackieVA's topic in School

    I was just at the gym this morning and it occurred to me that the treadmills all back up to the big front window. I had never thought of it until this morning but I run on those darn things, with my...

  15. My kid is THAT kid!

    NurseBeans replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    I stash the stuff everywhere, all year round. I DO NOT have a problem though. It's completely normal. I'm a blistex or carmex girl, strictly. None of that cherry chapstick mess. I am giving a lot to...

  16. diabetic question and stuff

    NurseBeans replied to peaceful nurse's topic in School

    Ugh, the dexcom...my clever little T1D figured out how to manipulate his to show low numbers, then he would get out of class as much as he felt like and come hang out with me. Of course I caught on to...

  17. New Head Lice Data - OldDude Institute for Head Lice Studies

    NurseBeans replied to OldDude's topic in School

    This is important information. I will use it next time a teacher or parent asks me to inspect the classroom for "lice

  18. Apologizing to you all

    NurseBeans replied to Amethya's topic in School

    If it makes you feel any better, I am a nurse, with a degree and 15 years of experience plus 17 years of military medical experience...and I still have parents who say "well you ARE just a nurse..."....

  20. diabetic question and stuff

    NurseBeans replied to peaceful nurse's topic in School

    If I am remembering correctly, and since I am too lazy to look into it right now, part of my 504 plan for my type 1's includes a few lines about having extra time to eat if necessary, and being able...

  21. Proposed Texas Legislation - Dumb or Dumber?

    NurseBeans replied to OldDude's topic in School

    Bingo!! This is silly, and as BeckyESRN already mentioned, they want you to provide CDC recommendations, but not actually follow

  22. Sometimes I feel not needed..

    NurseBeans replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    It might be worth mentioning that in both my personal and professional experience, I have noticed that teachers are the type of person who need to be right ALL THE TIME. They also seem to have control...

  23. How Do you Deal With. . .

    NurseBeans replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    Tell him he is not a "real teacher" since he teaches PE. I don't really feel that way about PE teachers but omg--what is a "real nurse" to him? A nurse who divulges student's private health...

    NurseBeans replied to WineRN's topic in School
