  1. I thought you were being mean, but you were right!

    nmr79 replied to River Song, RN's topic in School

    Nicely done! I have a few kids who pull this every Monday, it seems. Fortunately I have the support of the school psychologist and the parents of said

  2. My dad died yesterday

    nmr79 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I'm so sorry. I'm glad you and your kids had those last days with him. Please feel free to lean on us during the next few weeks/months. I'm glad he got to experience his last days with those who...

  3. Am I overreacting?

    nmr79 replied to nicunursem10's topic in School

    This is my first year in a school, too. I definitely feel like I'm the low man on the totem pole, compared to how I was when I was in charge on a busy hospital unit. I just keep reminding myself of...

  5. The long, scenic route

    nmr79 replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Wow! You'll be busy, but I doubt that you will regret it. As an aside- I always worked PM shift (3-11:30). At every hospital I have worked, the PM nurses were always the coolest- I think it would...

  6. Completing school attendance your task too?

    nmr79 replied to MegWorth's topic in School

    We enter the absences into Powerschool. Some people call in to my office, some call the main office. I enter the students who are called in on my phone. Sometimes we have to call the families, if...

  7. A quick hello from a newbie

    nmr79 replied to sadieladdie's topic in School

    Hi! I'm a newbie, too. This is my first year, and I love it so far. Also, I'm way less bored/more busy than I thought I'd be. The schedule is amazing, I just had a 5-day

  8. Introduction

    nmr79 posted a topic in School

    Hello! I'm new to allnurses and I'm new to school nursing, but I've been a nurse since 2002. I've been lurking for a few weeks, and you seem like a smart, experienced bunch:) I've always wanted to...

  9. Thanksgiving Break!

    nmr79 replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    I'm so ready. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday to begin with, and we only have school M/T next week. Also, I'm working my very last hospital shift on Black Friday. It's bittersweet. I kept PRN...

  10. Summer jobs for school nurses

    nmr79 replied to Baltimore RN's topic in School

    Our school district has a summer camp for all kids K-8. It's 6 weeks, 3 hours a day. I did it last summer, since it was held at my school, and it was a good way to get my office set up and to get...

  11. Topical meds at school

    nmr79 replied to bourget_4's topic in School

    Our district has a permit that needs to specify what meds (including cough drops-which is a whole other issue- and Neosporin) are allowed. A parent and the student's pediatrician have to sign

    nmr79 replied to nmr79's topic in School

    I definitely have a lot of emotional-needs kids (7th and 8th grade school), and I really like the social worker and psychologist here, so that helps:) I just had my first school epipen episode last...

  15. The Not So "Nursey" Things...

    nmr79 replied to HCPSRMA's topic in School

    That's the method we used when I worked in-patient psych, since they couldn't have belts. Works like a charm! For the pants that don't have buttons/zippers, a hair tie around the cinched-up excess...

  17. How do like being a school nurse

    nmr79 replied to Miss10's topic in School

    I'm new to the school setting (started August of this year). So far, I love: the schedule having my own office most of the kids (my regular medical-needs kids are all great, and many of my...
