  1. Teacher appreciation week...

    nmr79 posted a topic in School

    I love teachers. Many of my friends are teachers. I'm sick of hearing about all of the wonderful activities that we will do for Teacher Appreciation week. Someone even made a joke at the last...

  2. How many diabetics do you have?

    nmr79 replied to CanIcallmymom's topic in School

    I have three T1Ds. One is a handful, not because of his management of his diabetes, but because he and his friends all come in together before lunch, and they are loud, and always ask a million...

  3. Speaking of summer...

    nmr79 replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    I will be working at a day camp. It's a sweet gig- 8:30-12 M-F for 6 weeks. I still feel like a get a break, and it pays the same that I make in a 9-hour day during the year. Plus, I get to bring...

  5. C'Mon Now!

    nmr79 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    A father of a student emailed me, angry that the cafeteria sells Coke and 7-up, and that 7th graders shouldn't be expected to choose healthy options when that is available, what am I going to do about...

    Poor kid! You made the right call, though, not moving

  11. Midwest nurses... Caught in the polar vortex?

    nmr79 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    It was crazy! We were still open last Monday, after that crazy snowstorm (I think Chicago, Evanston and my district were the only schools without late starts. Then we were closed W/TH. It was...

    nmr79 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    That was my favorite news story in a long

  13. Life outside of school

    nmr79 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry. I really miss working with the elderly sometimes. They really can be such a challenging and rewarding group to work with. Hang in

  14. Field Trip Bags

    nmr79 replied to k1p1ssk's topic in School

    I second the feminine hygiene products. That's honestly what gets used the most from my bags. Also included: bandaids, gauze, tissues, hand wipes, instant ice packs, student-specific epipens, a...

  15. We're back!!!

    nmr79 replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Hello! We were back last week, but W-F, I had the pleasure of sitting in vision screening certification. (IL nurses know how fun that is:). This week started with a bang. The gym classes all have...

  16. Are we done yet???

    nmr79 replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

    3 more hours for me. I have had the pleasure of dealing with the Kylie Jenner lip challenge. I wish that was a joke. Three boys all came to me with puffy, bruised lips. None of them are in pain,...

  17. All I want for Christmas is... (the school nurse list)

    nmr79 replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    I'd love to be removed from the gym pass equation. Kid brings a note from home/doc. Shows it to the gym teacher. Gym teacher sends kid to me. I have to stop what I'm doing to write a pass about the...

  18. Lack of Manners

    nmr79 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I hate this! I get a lot of this, and my kids are 7th/8th graders! I always say "How can I help you?" Sometimes they get it, sometimes, they stare. I don't have magic powers,

  19. What brought you to where you are now?

    nmr79 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I knew I wanted to be a nurse all along, and got my BSN at 22. I loved my community, peds and psych rotations, so I figured I'd eventually be in one of those areas, but realized that I probably...

  20. Had to give Epi Today!

    nmr79 replied to linda1959's topic in School

    I also think you handled it well. She wasn't rapidly declining, and with her history, it sounds like you were waiting the appropriate time to tease out if it was behavioral or not. Good job! It's...

  21. Use of nurse's office

    nmr79 replied to Rsrfrn's topic in School

    What about the need to access emergency meds stored in the med room? I'm happy to support pumping mothers. I was once one myself, I get it. However, the needs of the student body should also be...

  22. my middle schoolers are running The Mile tomorrow

    nmr79 replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Yep. And there are always the kids with the notes from home to excuse them for whatever vague, old, fake, etc injuries that prevent them from running, but are somehow fine when they have club sports...

    nmr79 replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Mine had their pacer test today. Sigh. I'm always so popular on any day that requires

  24. What are your Thanksgiving break plans?

    nmr79 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I love taking my daughter to the city for shows:). I did a whole lot of relaxing. My parents both love to cook/host, so we went to their house on Thursday (about 40 min away), per our annual...

  25. Returning to school after devastating Camp Fire

    nmr79 replied to naveiak's topic in School

    Wow, I can't even imagine what you and your community are going through. You are proving your dedication by even worrying about the logistics. I hope you, personally, are okay. I agree with what...
