  1. Splinters

    nmr79 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I love Splinter Out! (I love splinters. One of our maintenance workers had a splinter of copper in his finger. It was super satisfying to remove. I use my lice lamp if it's a tiny one, and I have...

  4. Not today!!

    nmr79 replied to Flare's topic in School

    Way to go! Also, I felt a weird relief after the first time I gave epi. It's good to have "the first time" anxiety out of the way. Hopefully this kid's parents take things

    I'm so happy to have yesterday over with, for the same reason! I got my list of excluded kids down to 2, so I'm feeling good about that. I feel like the more I have to do that is time-sensitive,...

    Yes. The complete inability to deal with anything less than perfect comfort is astounding these

  8. Why do teachers

    nmr79 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Yes! I just had a kid (ff status) present, 10 minutes after the bell, with vague complaints. First, it was his throat, which looked okay when I checked it, then he was "gonna puke", then he had...

  9. Curiosity

    nmr79 replied to imaneedmycoffeefirst89's topic in School

    I'm at a 7th/8th building. There are 425 kids. I get 20-30 a day, plus 2 diabetics and 5 with daily meds. There are a few others with PRN meds. A lot of them have emotional stuff/ class...

  11. school nurse as a mom

    nmr79 replied to catia108's topic in School

    Yep. I used one personal day for a field trip that my daughter wanted me to chaperone, and a half personal day each for spring and winter concerts. It's tricky, since we're in the same district, but...

  12. Ugh- helicopter/tiger mom!

    nmr79 posted a topic in School

    I work in a 7th/8th building. I have a 7th grader who is diabetic, diagnosed 5 years ago. Her mother comes in every day at lunchtime to check her daughter's sugar and to personally administer the...

  13. rough start to the school year!

    nmr79 replied to nurseinthenorth1's topic in School

    I'm sorry you're dealing with this! I had a rough start last year (new to school nursing, odd school/staff routines and culture, etc.). I hope things improve

  14. MISSED Y'ALL - Pre-K-7

    nmr79 replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

  16. Ugh- helicopter/tiger mom!

    nmr79 replied to nmr79's topic in School

    Yep. I just confirmed with my admin that she will report to the conference room each day to manage this. Middle school is awkward enough- no need to have other peoples' moms in your

    Wow,

  18. Ugh- helicopter/tiger mom!

    nmr79 replied to nmr79's topic in School

    Well, today was certainly interesting! She came in with a box of candy to give me as an apology, along with a verbal apology. Honestly, I think she'll be angry again tomorrow, and that will be her...

  19. Ugh- helicopter/tiger mom!

    nmr79 replied to nmr79's topic in School

    Your last few sentences are exactly what I think the main issue is. This woman is so intense, and I know she would never cop to it, but I've given the student's case manager a heads-up. I spoke with...

  20. My own two kids started school today

    nmr79 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Glad it went okay! I totally hear you. It's hard to feel like you're missing out on events in your child's life while you're busy supervising other peoples'

  21. Student Body Odor

    nmr79 replied to AzElemNurse's topic in School

    If I noticed it, and the girl seemed like she'd be receptive to feedback, or if I had a good relationship with her, I'd be direct. I'd say that once people reach a certain age, they need to shower...

  22. Ugh- helicopter/tiger mom!

    nmr79 replied to nmr79's topic in School

    See, that's what I'm used to! Last year, there was almost a camaraderie - when their numbers were off at the same time, they seemed to like having someone who "gets it" to vent to. This mom has...

  23. Ugh- helicopter/tiger mom!

    nmr79 replied to nmr79's topic in School

    I brought up the issue of her seeing other kids to administration- hopefully they will consider it! I'd be annoyed if some mom was always checking me out when I came in for my Adderall or

  24. Ugh- helicopter/tiger mom!

    nmr79 replied to nmr79's topic in School

    Unfortunately all of the 504 meeting minutes in her file reflect this pattern of hers. She isn't doing her daughter any favors by not teaching her to manage her own condition. Also, her A1C last...

  25. My own two kids started school today

    nmr79 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Hugs mama. My daughter started 3rd grade yesterday. Sometimes it really sucks when you can't be there for them when they start school. I've already been yelled at by a mom, and this is only day 2...
