  1. School Nurse Salary?

    ABRN2012 replied to kegreat's topic in School

    State is MS I have been a school nurse 8 years and I am on a teachers scale. Sadly our teachers are the lowest paid. But I do make 35,500 a year. I work the same schedule as the teachers and same...

  2. C'Mon Now!

    ABRN2012 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Had a parent come in with a student for a headlice recheck. Student had headlice a few weeks ago too so I told the teacher when we sent her home that she probably never truly got rid of it because if...

  3. Teacher appreciation week...

    ABRN2012 replied to nmr79's topic in School

    I'm so sorry you get treated that way. And it is sad that so many of us share the same story. I have decided not to return next year. I thought about telling my supervisor and seeing if anything...

  4. Happy Nurses' Week, my loves!

    ABRN2012 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Well you have to be appreciated for anyone to acknowledge you during Nurses Appreciation Week. And it doesn't help that its also Teacher Appreciation Week. So I will not hold my breath for anything...

  5. All I want for Christmas is... (the school nurse list)

    ABRN2012 replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    My own bathroom or at least a sink so I could wash my hands xray vision or xray machine a thermometer for every teacher (not that some of them would dare to use it) one of those vision screening...

  6. Use of nurse's office

    ABRN2012 replied to Rsrfrn's topic in School

    I agree you can't reason with an admin that would do this and think it is ok. As a former breastfeeder/pumper I agree that the teacher needs a private space but that doesnt mean your office....

  7. Would you? Do you?

    ABRN2012 replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    I treat that like I do with a lot of other things. I will let them apply some the first time. Then I explain that from now on that will need to be taken care of at home. That is how I do it with...

  8. Lack of Manners

    ABRN2012 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    My student with diabetes at the elementary school likes to tell me how to do my job. Now mind you he is capable of doing everything himself and I am only to observe, the pump figures the insulin so...

  9. Maddening T1D non-compliance

    ABRN2012 replied to pedi_nurse's topic in School

    The others are right you can't care more than the student or the parent. It is hard but I have learned that the hard way over the years. If you are documenting and trying all that then it seems like...

  10. When will the lice drama end???

    ABRN2012 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    WHAT!!!!???? Where do I sign up? Seriously thats crazy that is even a thing. Sadly we have a lice treatment place close by but even people who can afford it wont pay the money. So even if I did get...

  11. Wow embarrassed and really ticked off...

    ABRN2012 posted a topic in School

    Sorry just need to vent. Since school started in August I have been in contact with our Dept of Ed. to get a program to come to our school that promotes physical education and getting children up and...

  12. Wow embarrassed and really ticked off...

    ABRN2012 replied to ABRN2012's topic in School

    Yeah truthfully I shouldnt have been surprised but I guess it caught me off guard that the other two schools in the county had their teachers not only present but literally so excited and thankful for...

  13. Wow embarrassed and really ticked off...

    ABRN2012 replied to ABRN2012's topic in School

    Thanks for the input but I am not a rookie. I do staff developments several times a year and they are always good. The point of the post was not that it was for staff development but that they...

  14. Poorest lack of judgment EVER!!!

    ABRN2012 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I swear this sounds like something that would happen to me at my schools! I am so glad the child was ok. And I am glad you addressed it because if it happened this time it will happen again. I know...

  15. Why do teachers

    ABRN2012 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I just had a perfect example of our frustrations and why others not in school nursing dont get it. I had a teacher almost pass out today in the bathroom. After assessing the situation and getting...

  16. I would really love....

    ABRN2012 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Believe it or not my state of MS was one of the first along with California to get rid of the religious exemption. Mississippi is backwards in a lot of ways but other states should look at our...

  17. Why do teachers

    ABRN2012 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Yes we love our jobs! But I know several nurses who have tried school nursing only to leave and go back to bedside nursing because it wasnt as easy as they thought. It is very isolating and I am so...

  18. Will school nurses be extinct?

    ABRN2012 replied to celle507's topic in School

    When I first started in school nursing that is all I heard, that the budget just couldnt allow for nurses. We had a grant for nurses thru our state that paid for me and another nurse. We were still...

  19. Weird reasons to come to school nurse?

    ABRN2012 replied to Avill's topic in School

    The post about masturbating in class... I was called over to the high school before for that same reason. Once I figured out that was what was going on I left him in the principles office and said...

  20. Funny Ranting

    ABRN2012 replied to mariarico's topic in School

    Oh I forgot one... "No its just pencil lead. That is made of graphite not actual lead. You will not get lead poisoning. People have lived their whole life with a pencil lead in their hand. It will...

  21. Funny Ranting

    ABRN2012 replied to mariarico's topic in School

    I had one last year that did the same thing. Bad thing is the principal is the one who brought him to me and had a panicked look on his face. That principal was notorious for bringing students to me...

  22. Funny Ranting

    ABRN2012 replied to mariarico's topic in School

    Me talking to teachers about 95% of the things they send students for ..."Well there isn't a whole lot I can do about that." This is not a medical problem! They cant just put on a freakin bandaid?...

  23. Curiosity

    ABRN2012 replied to imaneedmycoffeefirst89's topic in School

    1500 students spread out between campuses that you can walk to. I see about 15-20 a day including meds and insulin. But that has cut down a lot from years past. Last year at my other school I was...

  24. Any school nurses out there with 40 years?

    ABRN2012 replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    Yes Yes Yes! I say that 100 times a day. No one knows how to cope with anything. More than 50% of the students health forms came back with "anxiety/depression" marked. Hello they are in elementary...

  25. Peanut allergy issue

    ABRN2012 replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    I agree with all of this. There is no way to say "peanut free". I had to explain this to a church friend of mine whose child is severely allergic and decided to home school because the school...
