    No EpiPen, No Field Trip?

    BrisketRN replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    @ruby_jane I get some families who don't fill the prescription but still turn in the allergy paperwork every year stating the child needs an EpiPen. Then when field trip day rolls around they don't...

    C'Mon Now!

    BrisketRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Love it! We didn't have a written policy when I started, so I phone home when I find lice. If parents are wanting to pick up they can, but I let them know that the child is welcome to stay. I don't...

    Incident Reports

    BrisketRN replied to DaisyRN2's topic in School

    I only document physical injuries (or lack thereof) in incidents of bullying. We require a description of events from an adult who witnessed it. I don't document behavioral

    I'm at a private school and my admin does this ALL the time. We're supposed to be following the laws but we never get audited by the state so admin couldn't care less. I feel your

    Are you serious??????

    BrisketRN replied to EnoughWithTheIce's topic in School

    ? I wouldn't pull my own teeth out when I was a kid. No chance I'm pulling someone else's tooth out. Show me vomit, diarrhea, or a stage 3 pressure ulcer and I'm fine. Show me a wiggly tooth and...

    EMR--what do you use?

    BrisketRN replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    Should I report this?

    BrisketRN replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    I'd report to the supervisor right away! My blood pressure & HR would go up too if I'd been accused of doing

    40 Students per day... YIKES!!

    BrisketRN replied to BooBooCrew's topic in School

    It might help to refuse to give those supplies out if they're already in the first aid boxes. Tell the children to ask their teacher for a bandaid/tooth box from their first aid kit. It should only...

    Vaccine Exemption letters...

    BrisketRN replied to k1p1ssk's topic in School

    I have yet to see anything that looks like a legitimate religious excuse. The religions that used to prohibit vaccination have made pro-vaccination

    C'Mon Now!

    BrisketRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    My favorite is when someone brings me a copy of their blood test results. "Are the numbers good or bad?" Y'all, there's a guide next to each number showing the normal range. I do not know those...

    So my car window got smashed and my purse stolen . I was at work

    BrisketRN replied to MSO4foru's topic in General Nursing

    Hiding valuables or not keeping them in the car helps, but I've had some friends get some really dumb non-valuable stuff stolen out of their cars. One friend had her book of CDs stolen (this year)....

    Help! Parents don’t submit paperwork!!

    BrisketRN replied to NurseDew's topic in School

    The only way we get forms from a handful of parents is threats. Threaten that the child can't participate in sports, clubs, after school events, then school exclusion. I've had parents straight up...

    Allergies

    BrisketRN replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    My favorite is when they somehow get a doctor to sign off on the allergy paperwork "allergic to grass, mildew, pineapple, coconut, milk, broccoli, walnuts, cats, chipmunks, peaches, small fowl" and...

    Tree Nut allergy

    BrisketRN replied to NewschoolRN's topic in School

    Agreed. I think it sets the kid up for failure later on. Our school is nut-free and snacks/lunch are provided by the school, so our kids never have to learn how to check their food, avoid foods,...

    No way! There's a huge disparity in my income and my husband's income. Have you always made more than him? Is there any way you can downsize to cut
