  2. Nurses Pass?

    ABRN2012 replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

    I require passes but most do not send them with one and its too much trouble to send LD back to get one when most of the time it is something stupid anyway. I have about 20% that use a pass. And it...

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

  7. Go to the nurse.

    ABRN2012 replied to imaneedmycoffeefirst89's topic in School

    That is supposed to be the goal but unfortunately I think the school nurses are the only ones that got that memo. I feel the same way unless its and emergency I dont care to see any of them for even...

    We have went over and over how we need to revise the medication administration policy before next year. In my state the RNs can not dispense OTC meds without a Dr. order. But of course we are asked...

  15. Admin just not getting it

    ABRN2012 replied to ABRN2012's topic in School

    Yes! Thats good! But sadly where i live people are so backwoods they would think nothing of it. I hate to even say this but my own mother doesnt understand why she can't just take her home meds...

    ABRN2012 replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

    Something that I find "funny" or "odd" is when i first started here the nurse before me just didnt deal with lice. She made the teachers deal with it. Well day 1 of being here I was the lice finder...
