  1. Student pregnancy

    Cas1in72 replied to iggywench's topic in School

    A lot depends on the age of the student and the state in which you live. I would look at the laws. Not sure if the counselors are under different guidelines than we are. Ill be watching this...

  2. Your favorite extracurriculars?

    Cas1in72 replied to guest464345's topic in School

    I always say " If I had one super power, it would be x-ray vision" Would that ever make school nursing easier!! I'm going to get these, wear a cape and that will be my costume for next

  3. "Can you do something about this?"

    Cas1in72 replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    Please know that you are not alone in this. It's so frustrating and can be isolating too! I finally found my voice in year 4, but trust me when I say I made no friends. Daily I am shocked at what...

  4. All pukes are not created equal

    Cas1in72 replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Exactly! I give them a cup of water, let them rest for 15 min and if no puke- back to class. In 5 years Ive only had 3 kids go on to puke in the classroom. The kids arent usually the problem for me,...

  5. All pukes are not created equal

    Cas1in72 replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    This every day!! So many times, especially with littles, you find out they had been coughing before the "puke" or they were in gym and drank a ton of water and ran laps then " puke" or its really hot...

  6. Charting in Powerschool

    Cas1in72 replied to jbrmdr's topic in School

    Only 1 at a time. Powerschool for me- time consuming and restrictive. I would love to have something like a quick text, seems like I chart the same things over and over. Asked IT, said it couldnt...

  7. "Hypothetical" Situation

    Cas1in72 replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    THIS 1000%. Sometimes doing nothing is DOING something. Honestly, splinting can be a scary thing, especially when you dont actually know what the dx

  8. "Hypothetical" Situation

    Cas1in72 replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    No way that needed a 911 call. Who knows, the "ER staff" might have been housekeeping ( not a slap to housekeeping staff) but I would let that roll off my

  9. "Hypothetical" Situation

    Cas1in72 replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    I would not have called 911 on that. VSS, child was not in terrible pain. Arm was essentially immobilized while sitting and parents were in agreement. The only way I would call on something like...

  10. Sick of nurses "referring" to our specialty

    Cas1in72 replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    19 years in the hospital. Worked as a maternal/child float but was sent to all units. Even did a 2 year stint in ER. THIS IS THE HARDEST JOB I HAVE EVER

    Cas1in72 replied to "nursy"'s topic in School

    I sure did, 2 years ago at the middle school. Had kids giving ghost peppers and carolina reapers to unsuspecting victims in the lunch room. Had a couple of burns d/t it. I went to the assistant...

    Cas1in72 replied to "nursy"'s topic in School

    Cas1in72 replied to "nursy"'s topic in School

  17. Smelly Kids

    Cas1in72 replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Cas1in72 replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

  23. Coping with emergencies at any time.

    Cas1in72 replied to tomn13's topic in School

    Absolutely! I miss working side by side with other nurses, for a number of reasons. Mainly, so other people can understand my sense of humor. I think the teachers see me as loon or mean when I...

  24. Coping with emergencies at any time.

    Cas1in72 replied to tomn13's topic in School

    Everything you describe, we have all been there. After 5 years, I still have moments when I sit in my car and have to give myself a pep talk to enter the building. Prep, get to know the kids, be...
