  1. The mile run-- hold me!

    nmr79 replied to nmr79's topic in School

    The best part is, my asthmatics come for their inhalers, and don't complain about the pacers/mile run/etc. They never try to get out of it. They come, dose up, and go back to class. They're my...

  2. Cough drops

    nmr79 replied to tgray152001's topic in School

    I'm so ordering these.

  3. Cough drops

    nmr79 replied to tgray152001's topic in School

    I stopped ordering them. We had one bag at the start of the year. Student need a permit signed by their parent and MD to get them. They were in disbelief when I'd tell them that (usually the same...

  4. The mile run-- hold me!

    nmr79 replied to nmr79's topic in School

  6. Help Me Decide

    nmr79 replied to Rizowe's topic in School

    I'm currently living that dream. My daughter will be a student here in 5 years, which will be so

  7. Good Kids

    nmr79 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    One of the 8th graders here has one of those holiday light displays that coordinates to music (you pull up by the house and put it on a specific radio station). He also lives down the street from me....

  9. C'Mon Now!

    nmr79 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I, too, made little beds in the bathroom when I was sick as a child. The cool tile floor always felt so nice when I had the

  10. Good Kids

    nmr79 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I'm at a junior high, so the kids can sometimes be harsh with their parents. One boy was resting in my office, but felt better. He said "I should call my mom- she's at a funeral, and I texted her...

  11. Field Trips

    nmr79 replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

    Fortunately I don't have to go. I just pack the emergency meds for the food allergy and asthma kiddos. My diabetics have a parent

  12. Field Trips

    nmr79 replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

    That's nuts! You shouldn't be expected to find your own coverage-- you're not the one planning

  13. Average salary

    nmr79 replied to RN100%'s topic in School

    In my district, we get paid way less than the teachers. I took a huge paycut (if I break it down by the hour, I'm making about 12 dollars an hour less than I did at the hospital). It took a while...

  14. Vaping in School

    nmr79 replied to peacockblue's topic in School

    I used to work in-patient adolescent psych. We had kids who were psychotic for days, weeks, and longer, after vaping, or "dabbing" with the thc wax/oil. It's terrifying. These were kids with no...

  15. Christmas break, when do you start yours?

    nmr79 replied to mag426's topic in School

    We start at 3:30 PM on 12/22, and we are off until 1/8! This is my first year with a winter break, and I cannot wait! We will celebrate Christmas Eve with my family, and then on 12/26 we head to CO...

  16. Fingers crossed

    nmr79 replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    Oh wow, how scary! I'm glad the MRI was

  17. Holiday presents rolling in already!

    nmr79 replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    Cool! I haven't gotten anything, but we're also in school until 12/22. While we're on the topic, I'd like to get things for my daughter's teachers. Are gift cards the way to go? I usually get...

  18. "Professional Goals"- Ugh

    nmr79 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Oh no! I thought I was escaping this nonsense when I left my hospital job. These evaluation/goal/whatever-you-want-to-call them forms are torture for me. I'm going to copy Old Dude's spiel if/when...

  19. Snow Day!

    nmr79 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Yep. Now, back to our regularly scheduled December weather:) We got our Christmas lights up on Saturday, though, which was nice. I'm up north, but my family is all in the western 'burbs- small...

  20. Snow Day!

    nmr79 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    I'm jealous! In Chicagoland, we have weirdly warm weather right now, but it's going to be in the teens by mid-week. I love snow. I hate rain with a fiery passion, but snow is delightful (to

    Congrats!

  23. Employee Health?

    nmr79 replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    Same here, even though the teachers and even the admin always feel the need to get me more involved than

  24. My favorite complaint

    nmr79 replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Ha! I'm in Chicagoland, and I had the pleasure of working with the super awkward, young, male custodian. He was so embarrassed asking me where we should put the new dispenser. Poor kid. He's...

  25. Am I overreacting?

    nmr79 replied to nicunursem10's topic in School

    Exactly! I worked Christmas Day last year. Anything is better than
