  2. Rashes

    We only dismiss for open rashes and rash with a fever. I know with many rash causing illnesses by the time the rash pops up, they've already shared those
  3. Bed bug bites vs flea

    I know that bed bugs bit in lines, so you'll get a little line of like 3+ bites in a row. But since we do not diagnose, I would say that no, we are not obligated to distinguish between any bug
  4. The Grinch Nurse

    This is really funny. Had me laugh out loud at my desk. I shared the link with my department in the

  7. Mom hand

    I was having a long talk with a student today about hands being unreliable thermometers, and decided to demonstrate to her the difference in them btwn hand and forehead. Infrared on MY hand: 97.0...
  8. Mom hand

    I think I figured it out, TMI ahead... I have IBS-D and for the last several months have had symptoms EVERY morning. Upon some research it seems that some people with IBS-D will run low grade fever...

  12. HAPPY FRIDAY

    All caught up? What's that
  13. HAPPY FRIDAY

    I have 8! My district RN informed me that Mercury is in retrograde, so I should expect the bonkers behavior to continue through the 23rd.
  14. HAPPY FRIDAY

    Happy FriYAY! Seriously, I think this has been one of the most bonkers weeks (behavior-wise) all school year! Come on, 1:30, get here
  15. C'Mon Now!

    Yesterday I had an 8th grader come to the clinic complaining that outside at recess his hands turned bright pink, with a little purple. It's 20 degrees after wind chill. Your hands are just cold, they...

    NOW, she gives me the paperwork right away
  17. I literally just found out that my secretary has the missing health records for my new students. She was only giving me a little info at a time and I have no idea why. School started in August. It's...

  21. When to call and not call parents?

    I usually tell kids that have something going on for days or from home that they need to tell their parents that it is still bothering them when they get home. For example, my knee has hurt for three...
  22. Medication Mishap

    I agree, and she has supported that. And it does stink. I just get my feathers ruffled when my profession is disregarded. It also makes me apprehensive about entering nursing school, because I do not...
  23. Medication Mishap

    I find this pretty insulting. As a CMA with 7 years of experience giving medications and injections I have an incredibly low error rate, and have made no errors while working in school health. Our...
