  1. I got the job!

    nmr79 replied to cjl_RN's topic in School

    Congrats! I'm finishing my first year as a school nurse. You'll get the hang of it. For me, the biggest adjustments (going from hospital to school setting): 1) school/parent politics 2) figuring...

  2. School nurses...do you work through the summer?

    nmr79 replied to Sarah Matacale's topic in School

    It's not mandatory, but I will be the camp nurse for the school district camp. It's 5 weeks, 5 days a week, for 3

    nmr79 replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    Aw, I have one like that. I also have many 8th graders who can't get out soon

  6. C'Mon Now!

    nmr79 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Two 8th grade girls come in laughing and clutching their stomachs. "We just chugged a bunch of Coke so we could use the empty bottle for our bottle rocket project." Me: Well, it's time for some...

  7. Chorus tips?

    nmr79 replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    Ugh, I hear ya. I'm dreading Field Day,

  9. What is wrong with people?

    nmr79 replied to ABRN2012's topic in School

    Good idea on the wet paper

  10. What is wrong with people?

    nmr79 replied to ABRN2012's topic in School

    Ugh! I'm a redhead with a redheaded daughter, so we wear sunscreen year-round. Bathing suits are of the long-sleeved variety (unless it's after 4 pm). People often comment that I go overboard, but...

  11. The school board closed our school...

    nmr79 replied to KKEGS's topic in School

  13. One of the nice things about working in a school

    nmr79 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I'm so excited! This will be my first summer that I'm not working f/t! I'm working camp, but it's 5 weeks for 4 hours a day. Plus, my daughter and her little friends all go to the camp, so it's...

  14. School Nurse Emergency Course

    nmr79 replied to J-lynn's topic in School

    I actually just registered to take one at a local hospital this summer. Can't hurt! I'm in a middle school- most of the emergencies have been anaphylaxis (x1- epipen given right away), several cuts...

  15. Happy Mother's Day!

    nmr79 replied to OldDude's topic in School

    Gracias!

  16. I need a hug. <slightly off topic>

    nmr79 replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Hugs to you! Just because you didn't take a "traditional" path doesn't mean you haven't achieved a lot. Finishing school without having a family of your own would be difficult. Finishing school...

  17. Teacher appreciation week...

    nmr79 replied to nmr79's topic in School

    I hear ya. I have the same non-sense frequent visitors who want to just "rest" at 12 every day. Even if I kick them out after 2 minutes, they stream in, and before I know it, the cafeteria is...

  18. Calling parents

    nmr79 replied to peacockblue's topic in School

    Ugh! Totally rant-worthy! I'm guessing there are a few parents with nothing better to do than worry about their little snowflake's sensitive tummy, but the parents who actually have things to do...

  19. Teacher appreciation week...

    nmr79 replied to nmr79's topic in School

    Good call on getting the nurse at my daughter's school a gift. She's a frequent flyer (more just the friend who always "escorts" an injured classmate the the health office). Oh, and I got the best...

  20. Just gave Epi for the first time

    nmr79 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Yikes! It's scary, but it's always nice to get the first epi experience over with. Thanks for the Jessica Simpson reference, Ruby! I needed that laugh this

  21. Lateral Move

    nmr79 replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    Like others have said, I think it depends on why you want to switch. Good luck, either way! I'd absolutely switch campuses if I could stay in the district. (I'd rather little kids than

  22. Non compliant Diabetic Students

    nmr79 replied to NurseVal93's topic in School

    I have one DM student who is honestly forgetful (She's good about AM and pre-lunch checks, but forgets the 2PM pre-gym class check). I've started emailing her at 1:55, and she responds with her...

  23. Is It Summer Yet?!

    nmr79 replied to Avill's topic in School

    I cannot wait! We aren't finished until June 11 (thanks to the snow day). I'm working camp this summer through the school district. It's a great summer gig- 5 weeks, 3 hours a day, and my daughter...

  24. Lock Down Diabectic Action Plan

    nmr79 replied to AzElemNurse's topic in School

    My diabetic students also keep their supplies with them (7th and 8th grade). I keep a stash of juice/tabs in my office, but it's mostly because there was a student last year who was non-compliant and...

  25. what's your favorite...

    nmr79 replied to wonderfullyanonymous's topic in School

    Yep. Add to that that my daughter is in the same district, has the same schedule, and I am walking-distance from my house, so I lose no time commuting. Honestly, even my worst days here are way better...
