    Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    This breaks my heart. In my humble opinion, after witnessing first hand what this disease can do, refusal to immunize is abuse. The parents intentionally put their child in harms way. They know what...

    Immunizations

    Here in California there are only medical exemption, so if a child isn't UTD or have a signed medical exemption on file they are excluded, period. In our district if there is an appointment we allow...

    Vaseline without parental permission?

    I don't have lotion for students, but we we do give students vaseline for their lips. I have never had a parent complaint. The teachers and secretaries do allow students to use their lotion, again...

    checked off a first from my list

    I had to call an ambulance for a student that fell off the monkey bars. Looks like he dislocated his shoulder and should be fine. I knew it was serious when I was told he couldn't get up and was...

    checked off a first from my list

    Just to update. The student is out today (no surprise). He has a fractured humerus. A big pat on the back to the principal and staff for following what we taught them, even though it is tempting to...

    C'Mon Now!

    My heart jumped for you. Thank God it wasn't real. That's so scary. A school in our district received a hoax threat last year, it's very

    Measles!! No MMR #2 advice

    I think it would be pretty easy to get medical exemption from the doctor if the 2nd dose is contraindicated or if the student has titers drawn indicating immunity. If the doc says she's ok to get...

    School Title

    Both the district RN and I go by nurse- first name or miss- first name. I do have some teachers refer to me as Mrs last name. I have some students that just refer to me as nurse, but I'm ok with that...

    PARENTS say the darndest things

    PARENTS say the darndest things

    Exactly!!!! Before I started working for the school I would feel horrible if it took me longer than 10 minutes to pick up my kids when the school called. I would tell my husband they must think I am a...

  23. We received a grant, the district is looking for ways to continue funding when the grant runs out. We have had great, positive feedback we definitely want to keep it

  25. In california we have to have a doctor's order and written parental consent to give anything, oral or topical. I can't even give a cough drop without orders and a consent. With the one exception being...
