    Nightmare Principals Man...

    SnowDark38 posted a topic in School

    Story time. TLDR Principal calls 911 for a non-emergent. Doesn't notify nurse or parent of 911 call. Blames nurse for "poor judgement" without actually consulting nurse. I had a young student visit...

    Update: So I had the meeting. Fun times, let me tell you. The principal immediately starts off with "let me explain my line of reasoning" and provides the whole "my parental instincts kicked in"...

    What's worse is that I wasn't even out of the building. I was in my office monitoring the student who was wheezing.

    Oh yes! I called my supervisor as soon as I got that email in the morning. I was going to address the situation myself once I got to school the next morning after I cooled off. But then I got that...

    Asthma, no inhaler, WWYD?

    SnowDark38 replied to nursex23's topic in School

    It can be really scary when that happens. Especially when you have younger ones who don't always tell their teacher that they're having trouble breathing. Everyone's pretty much right. As long as she...

    What do you do when admin doesn't have your back?

    SnowDark38 posted a topic in School

    I'm going to preface this by saying this is my 3rd year out of nursing school and my first year as a full-time school nurse. I was a substitute school nurse for 1/2 of the year in 2018 and was offered...

    SnowDark38 replied to SnowDark38's topic in School

    Well, this actually happened the other day just now...and it wasn't even when I was going to talk with her. She called my supervisor and told her that I sent a student back to class after the student...

    SnowDark38 posted a topic in School

    I am a substitute school nurse. I love the job. I love the students. All around, it's just great! But I have come across an issue that is baffling me, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this...

    Confusing Pay Rates

    SnowDark38 replied to SnowDark38's topic in School

    I was informed by the nurse I'm subbing for that it is a 7.5 hour day, some days a little longer (8 hrs to tie up loose ends). My scheduled hours are 7:15-2:15. But again, I was informed by the nurse...

    Confusing Pay Rates

    SnowDark38 replied to SnowDark38's topic in School

    Well, I called the office of payroll. The 190.32 is apparently the equivalent of 29.20/hr for a 6.5 hour day. I don't get paid for lunch, which apparently they allocate an hour. When I came to this...
