So jealous of you all, we have 32 days left with students!

One of my FF came in after recess.... FF: I hurt my eye, it's really bad! (very well known for his drama) Me: What happened? FF: I was dabbing and I hit myself in the eye There are just no words for these injuries.....

We have school stock meds at our school K-8 (only 141 students in all). Do you always notify parents when you give something, via note home, email or call? Or only for the littles (this is what I have been doing)? I have some bigger kids that are coming frequently for ibuprofen/tylenol.

I talked with mom and she was fine with taking those things out of the plan, she said he just "liked having options" for treating the migraines.

Our policy doesn't really cover alternative meds or therapies, it just basically says "if your child needs OTC meds bring it to school with a detailed note indicating dose and time". I'm going to contact mom today, I'll let you know how it goes!

I'm a school nurse at a small rural school (143 kids K-8) and totally new to school nursing. One of the students has a migraine action plan (written by mom) that includes giving essential oils topically or inhaled, himalayan salt for the student to mix with some water and drink, accupressure , Advil liquigels (mom provides the salt, oils, meds) and then the usual stuff of rest, low lights, reassurance etc. Is this legit? I have the school form that the parent signs and it looks like our school has had this in place for this child for 3 years. I asked the previous nurse and she said it was just to appease mom and just not to do anything I wasn't comfortable with. Hmmmmm.....
