  1. Dexcom

    THIS is why my district does not allow nurses to monitor the Dexcom readings on a personal phone or even a school device. What if the nurse is dealing with another student, the connection lags/malfunctions, there is an emergency they am attending to,...
  2. Berated by parent

    Does your school have a policy regarding students carrying narcotics or medication in general? Ours is zero tolerance. They are suspended for an entire school year. That might be worth mentioning to the parent.
  3. Sample Deodorants

    I usually get deodorant from the P&G program, but they sent body wash this year for the boys. Did get the deodorant for girls, though.
  4. Parents who wanted your job...

    This, This. This. It's a federal law (as long as your school receives federal funding). If the student needs accommodations to be at school and be educated and these accommodations are in their IEP or 504, whether it's a school nurse on campus, PT, t...

  7. Stocking OTC meds at elementary school level

    Anything with an active ingredient listed requires doctor's orders, or the parent can come to school and administer it. I used to buy peppermints to give out for sore throats-- until a little one choked on one of them.
  8. If you have filed a report for Medical Neglect

    IMO--If you are contemplating whether it's time, then it's time. I always assume that I am seeing half the problem at the most. There are probably issues that go deeper than what you are seeing, and without an intervention, they will not be seen. F...
  9. District Policy doesn't back up nurses.

    Just wait until you have a lice outbreak and the parents send their kids to school. I bet your school will want the policy changed then! Nothing brings out the crazy like those flying lice.
