2 more days for me! I'm cleaning up and culling some clutter

In my district a parent can come and administer the med, and then we can fax off the form to the MD to hopefully expedite that.

Tomorrow is my own commencement. I have finally completed bu Bachelor's Degree in Public Health (many of you know that Nursing School starts this summer, joys of being an unlicensed clinical professional). I am so overwhelmed I feel tearful. My fami...

My med pick up letters went out a couple weeks ago with blank forms for next year. Vaccine letters are ready to go with report cards. Filing is done. Screenings cannot be scheduled yet. I guess I can send out exemption renewals.

I had one yesterday: "I got kicked in the head at recess" Oh man, how did that happen? "i was laying ON THE GROUND and they got pushed into me"

Here in Ohio RN to MSN programs are often granted based on "portfolio" which means your full academic history as well as work history. You often will not gain admission right out of your ADN program, they want that work experience first. If I were y...

It is the last Monday of the school year here! Woot! I just sent in my schedule for the hospital through 7/21/18, woot woot! Anyone else super ready for the Summer?!

Tomorrow I will have a sub. I have a sub folder, which has my schedule and where the important things are etc. But I always have a rough time when I am out. What can I do to make this smoother?

It sucks that she yelled at you, but I bet she is just beside herself with frustration. Glasses aren't cheap an insurance only covers a pair or two a year.

What are they doing in class??

I have 6-8 gr. The first kid I would send home, second kid I might call home to notify the parent but I would leave it up to them if they would go home. Also, where I live spiders do not often bite, so unless there is considerable swelling or some si...

It is a major perk of being part of a hospital staffed department.

NE Ohio Public School. 17-18 Staff 8/17-5/31 Students 8/21-5/30 18-19 Staff 8/16-5/31 Students 8/20-5/30 I do not work staff days, though. I come in one day the week before school to set up my clinic, I have one day of training over the summer in th...

We get subs through the hospital's school health services, so they are oriented through the department but not to each clinic. I also have a standardized sub folder with important info like med lists, health concerns, and info about where to find inh...

The guidance that I always received for biohazard vs regular trash is is something is saturated with blood it goes in a red bag. Of course sharps go in sharps etc. but this was the rule for blood.

I'm sorry you are upset over this. I tend to overthink everything about interactions, especially in stressful situations. I bet the other nurse never thinks twice about it.

Oh, I almost forgot, I am training for a half marathon in September, so that will be a big part of my summer!

I am working PRN at the hospital as a 1 to 1 care companion (sitter) and task assist for psych. I may go on a two week road trip with my mother, although I am not set on that. Every year in June we go to a board game convention, so that is for sure h...

Check your state's delegation regulations. Also, the job duties vary widely between states and districts. In some schools you may be alone in the building and answer to a district RN, or as Nutmegge stated you may work closely with a licensed nurse i...

Thank you all for your kind words. Commencement was whole different kind of disaster than I imagined. But my family came, was kind, and it is over. Now I get to start preparing for the next leg of this journey.

Thank OD!

Thanks everyone. My friendly coworkers are all very supportive and excited, also making sure I'm still returning in the fall. I feel a little better. I also get to spend time talking with a student about how to improve her health through the summer, ...

After today we have 17 school days, and I am taking a personal day one of them. I can't believe my first year is almost over!

We use lock laces for my ASD 9 year old. More for us than him, he is not bothered by untied shoes and the constant stopped to tie them. We are.

The worst thing about monday all week weeks is that every day then also has the fatigue and longing of a Friday.
