    Snacks?

    I'm in elementary, I do have graham crackers for kids who haven't had breakfast (we have a large low income/homeless population). Our school offers free lunch to all students so I don't give snacks...

    S.C. 5th Grader Dies After a Fight at School

    Thanks for posting the update. Interesting turn of events. I'm glad the other student won't have to live with the reality of causing a death. I do hope maybe she will learn from this

    how big are your offices?

    The health office I'm in to day is probably the smallest, it's about 6' wide and about 10'. the biggest one is only about 3 years old it's about 10' wide by about 15' long. The others vary in size....

    MHDNURSE I'm exactly the same as you, Spring break next week (4 more wake up) and out June 14, at least I know I won't be alone here the last couple of

    CBD administration in schools - thoughts?

    It's pretty easy right now. It is legal in California, but since it is not legal federally and since we do receive federal funding, federal law trumps state law. Fortunately, we haven't had any...

    Countdown to Spring Break.....

    40 day until summer, 6 days until Spring break (it's so late this year). We usually get 2 weeks, but this year is only 1 week so my internal clock keeps thinking we start break next week. Although I...

    No seriously, there's a (school) nursing shortage

    I agree having a nurse on site probably would not have changed the outcome. The article says the school didn't know about the heart condition, so either it was undiagnosed or the family didn't inform...

    Professional development days

    Here we only have the RN and myself. We never have any PD training planned. We look at what the psychologist and social workers are doing, if it applies we sit in, if nothing on the agenda applies to...

    Where is your office located within the school?

    All 5 health offices are in the main office, somewhere near or between the secretaries and the principal's office. I can usually hear everything going on in the office, but I don't often pay any...

    S.C. 5th Grader Dies After a Fight at School

    we have told her she has the right to defend herself, but she doesn't want anyone to get hurt (she is a green belt in karate). She is sensitive and kind and smart, so she's an easy target. Her teacher...

    S.C. 5th Grader Dies After a Fight at School

    I feel that mother's frustration, if not her pain (I can't even imagine). My 3rd grade daughter is bullied by a group of boys. She has been knocked down and hit (thank God only once). I know the...

    HOLY MOLY

    At least I'm not alone. It has been crazy here as well. As my mom used to say, "It's been a long week today." Have a good weekend

    standing desk

    Unfortunately that isn't an option, we get what we get. We're lucky when we get a new chair. We've been using a broken chair at one of the schools for most of the school year, supposedly a new one has...

    That annoying time of year

    We don't write PE notes, but if one of the students at recess rolls an ankle or have other minor injuries that cause discomfort I will let the PE teacher know so they are aware and can adjust activity...

    Tell me about your sub coverage

    No subs for us either. Our secretaries are trained as health clerks. There are only 2 of us and 6 sites, so our students and secretaries are used to handling things on their own. Fortunately since I...
