I wish this mother was easy to work with but its the opposite. She came to pick the student up the other day. I had already emptied it twice. It was a day where the stool was very watery and coming...
We tried the binder and the student can get thru to it. At our meeting our principle literally did not speak a word. I was so mad. He wouldnt empty it if it needed to be emptied so he says the...
I got my P&G order in. Yes we all know that is very exciting. But of course like every year the teachers do not want the children to have the booklets that tell about puberty. "It shows the...
I had a mom that told me all about everything but she had never used tampons so she would not let me. I begged her just for basketball practice and games because I truthfully had to wear both! She...

They never had a school nurse at my first school. They literally told me to show up at the school the next day and did not even give me a certain time. One person said 7:30-3:30, but the teachers...
I have been in our state retirement system for 5 years. I have to work 30 years total for the state to retire. That also puts me at 65 years old so I will be able to retire then regardless. I do...
There is me and one other nurse. We are stationed at the two biggest campuses (elem, MS, HS). The campuses have 1200+ students each. And we have a smaller school with about 300 students that is...

Maybe tell the admin that this is a violation of privacy to "round" in the classrooms and address every little issue in front of the entire classroom. My personal "nurse" policy is that I don't have...

For those of you that are lucky (like myself) and give the prescription meds at school what is your take on giving ADHD meds at 8AM. My position is that unless it is ordered by Dr. or DHS has order...

I swear we have a sub that must go around the class first thing and ask each student if they need to see the nurse. We have one 1st grade teacher that does the same. Cause I see half her class...
It is me and another nurse to cover 8 campuses. We report to the asst. superintendent but we have to tell him the nursing laws and ect. Now the principles would love to be over me but they know they...

I get called to come to MS office because a student that had just returned to school from inpatient psych facility was visibly upset and couldnt keep from falling asleep. He also got home at 2 am...
While we are on this topic... I personally feel that kids should not be getting Tylenol and Ibuprofen at school all the time. I do understand that there can be severe headaches or really high fevers...
Yes! I need to copy your post and let my admin read. I am not a physician and we do not have standing orders. The admin can not believe that I can not give a Tylenol even with parent approval. The...
Not a medical issue! The post said they werent talking about sick or chronic problems. Just kids that truthfully are able to go on their own just dont because of behavior and such. So no things...
I was our county TB nurse for a little while so yes this sounds very shady. But maybe your state does things differently. If it is a TB exposure they can tell you that but of course cant violate...
Yes we are a low income school system for the most part. We are in Mississippi so that should speak for itself. haha We dont have nursing supervisors just two RNs covering 8 different schools which...
I know we all get sick of hearing about these creepy crawlies but they are a thorn in my side. I have done nothing but check heads since returning from break. I could care less about head lice. I...
Yes we have them in each school. Yes the nurses had to start them! Our consisted of one admin, school nurse, 1 teacher, 1 custodian, a PE teacher or coach and a parent. But our district could care...
