    jess11RN replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

  6. Student is not moving on purpose.

    jess11RN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I would ask parents to see if they can get a MD note for PE, what she can and cannot do. She can still go to PE and sit on the sidelines, not in your office. I'd be afraid of her catching something,...

  8. Student is not moving on purpose.

    jess11RN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Does she see a social worker? If so, get them involved. Regardless, I'd let admin know about the situation as well. If you've cleared her, then you shouldn't have to be involved in this

  9. Allergy reactions

    jess11RN replied to RN4kids18's topic in School

    I hate Benadryl and I'll tell you why...it will mask anaphylaxis. It treats what's happening on the outside, but what's happening on the inside will continue, and you won't know until it's too late....

  12. Medication Changes

    jess11RN replied to PediNurseNYC's topic in School

    I'd love to know all of the information, but realistically, I know I never will. I make a note if parents tell me about medication, but like Ruby Jane, parents are not required to tell me what their...

    jess11RN replied to Csn2016's topic in School

  16. Ginger Ale

    jess11RN replied to stephrooth's topic in School

    I was thinking along the same lines. If I don't have an order, I'm not giving it. Plus, if gave ginger ale for indigestion, I'd have a line of indigestion stricken children that extends down the

  17. Med training for non-medical staff??

    jess11RN replied to naveiak's topic in School

    Before you look into training, I would suggest that you take a look at your state's nurse practice act and see what you can legally delegate to non-licensed personnel. For example, in my state, I...

    jess11RN replied to Nurse2Kids's topic in School

    I had a student earlier this year who I screened. I knew she could hear the tones, but she wanted to be a stinker and claimed that she couldn't. A quick call to dad and a re-screen the next day, low...
