  1. Thoughts??

    nmr79 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I would have done (and have done in the past) the same

  2. Summer Summer Summer!

    nmr79 replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I'm working my school district's day camp, which is housed in my building, so I get to stay in my office. I'm sure Covid protocols will still be in place, but it's for a 3 hour day, and it's only 5...

  3. CPS Nurse Dies of COVID-19

    nmr79 replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    I heard about this on the news:(.

  4. Staying or Going?

    nmr79 replied to BooBooCrew's topic in School

    I'm staying, but it's because I'm a bit trapped. I'm a single parent, and I need to be close to home, and to have the same schedule as my daughter, who is 11. I really miss working PM and...

  5. Tired of being "the bad guy"...

    nmr79 replied to caretakerofkids's topic in School

    OMG, the hockey families are the absolute worst here, too. When the state went back to more restrictive measures in Nov, all sports were supposed to stop. They continued traveling out of state, and...

  6. Christmas Gift Commiseration Thread

    nmr79 replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Usually I get a gift or two from teacher friends (We exchange sweets or coffee gift cards, something little), and our PTO give us each a check. This year, my admin gave me a bottle of wine and...

  7. Will you take the Pfizer Covid Vaccine?

    nmr79 replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I will absolutely take it as soon as it's my turn for it. I have been reading up on the Moderna and Pfizer trials, and it sounds like Astra Zeneca is in good shape, too. I'm open to whichever is...

  8. Frustrated about covid symptoms. Does everyone need to go home?

    nmr79 replied to pineappleupsidedowncake's topic in School

    We're sending pretty much anything illness-related home, even if it's just one symptom. We have been open/hybrid since August, and I have never been this busy! The parents hate it, but agreed to it...

  9. Another job??

    nmr79 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Same here. We're working 9-3, and honestly, my case management for 504's and the amount of new IEP health histories I have to collect is keeping me relatively busy. I'm a single parent, so I...

  10. Those days where you mumble "WTHeck" to yourself

    nmr79 replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    Ugh! I can't even deal with that kind of nonsense. Also, what are you supposed to do for her in 30 min? I'm assuming she had a cold. Yuck, I'm so

  11. ED nurse to School Nurse

    nmr79 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in School

    Pretty much all of this

  12. Interesting Read- Wouldn't Now Be a Great Time to Have School Nurses?

    nmr79 replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I tried 1 time to arrange to make an important call during lunchtime. I got my administrator's blessing, and went to my car at 1 PM to make said call. I was gone 20 minutes, just out in the parking...

  13. Spring Break

    nmr79 replied to Bulldogs's topic in School

    Two more weeks for me. Then the looooong stretch before June 9. The 8th graders are really trying my

  14. Another face mask post

    nmr79 replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    Ugh, I'm sorry. I wonder how many "My mask broke/itches/bothers me" visits you'll have headed your

  15. Biohazard Waste

    nmr79 replied to NurseMom1972's topic in School

    Oh yes, vomit gets double-bagged, and I get rid of that myself, mainly because I don't want to smell it while I'm waiting for someone else to deal with

  16. Biohazard Waste

    nmr79 replied to NurseMom1972's topic in School

    I also use the regular bin. It's emptied daily. If I have a particularly bad one, I will have the bin emptied/changed after the episode, if it's early in the day. I will sanitize any surfaces that...

  17. Nightmare Principals Man...

    nmr79 replied to SnowDark38's topic in School

    That's the kicker! You didn't even get a break! That's going to be what makes me snap, too. Some of these kids have antennae and can sense when I want to house a sandwich (usually around 2, when...

  18. Coronavirus and Schools

    nmr79 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Did you see the cool website that a HS junior created?

  19. Lord- Coronavirus drama

    nmr79 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Yep- two were early on (Jan.- both recovered, one had been in Wuhan and the other was her husband). Two more happened last week, and they just admitted a possible 5th to a hospital in the

  20. School sponsored travel

    nmr79 replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    I'm worried about O'Hare, too. It's where we're supposed to fly out of for Spring break. We're at our 5th possible case in IL as of this morning, but all are in Chicago-area. The airport is huge,...

  21. Lord- Coronavirus drama

    nmr79 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Oh I am so over the staff

  22. Your favorite extracurriculars?

    nmr79 replied to guest464345's topic in School

    eyeglass repair (the kit is here, so I don't mind, but it certainly isn't medical) babysitter for any student who doesn't want to be in class, but also isn't ill (usually all of the behavioral and/or...

  23. 50 school days left until Summer

    nmr79 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    63 more days (not counting Spring Break). Even if all travel shuts down, and my daughter and I are quarantined in the house for coronavirus craziness, it will still be a week of no work! I'm just...

  24. Lord- Coronavirus drama

    nmr79 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Ugh! We are now tracking every last symptom of any sick staff or students, since I'm in Chicagoland, and we have had a handful of cases. None are in my town, and I'm in a middle school, where...

  25. C'Mon Now!

    nmr79 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Ugh, this year has been crazy! The special ed teachers like to use me as a drop-in babysitter for them to dump kids. There are no medical issues, all behavioral, though I guess the student who picks...
