    Nurse in MT replied to mag426's topic in School

    Nurse in MT replied to dimaanorolando's topic in School

  6. Help RN with BSN at school

    Nurse in MT replied to dimaanorolando's topic in School

    I guess I look at it differently, try to see the positive. Yes, I am paid less than first year teachers, BUT my schedule and benefits are stellar. Where else as a nurse do you get such a rock star...

  7. essential oils

    Nurse in MT replied to peacockblue's topic in School

    We jumped through a lot of hoops, including consulting with law enforcement, regarding administering CBD oil to a student. After much rigamarole, it was allowed. It helped this profoundly disabled...

  10. Biggest Flu Clinic To Date... What was I thinking?!

    Nurse in MT replied to Nurse in MT's topic in School

  14. Lice policy?

    Nurse in MT replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Super lice. I know they are in the area because I dealt with them at my previous place of employment outside of a traditional school system. Last Thursday when we treated & combed two siblings...

  15. Clorox and DFACS

    Nurse in MT replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I'll be surprised if anything is done about this. I've had to call CPS frequently, but I don't know if I would have considered this abuse or neglect. The wound was treated... even if it wasn't the...

  16. Lice policy?

    Nurse in MT replied to momto5RN's topic in School

  20. Respecting Privacy, HIPAA & The School Newsletter

    Nurse in MT replied to Nurse in MT's topic in School

    I am not a member of those groups either, and it's through my spies I learn the information. Late last week I believe our Vice Principal contacted a nosy-nelly and asked her to pull her information...

  23. Over reacting Principals

    Nurse in MT replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    No, I'm given the autonomy to do my job. You need to have a sit-down with the principal and vice-principal and find out what's up, and explain your needs in order to provide the best care possible......

  24. Shot Records

    Nurse in MT replied to ArryOtter's topic in School

    No. Doctor's offices can't legally release that information either. The kiddo stays home until parent provides proof. Funny how quickly parents get vacc records in when they have to pay for a...
