I hate the time change!!!! it takes me forever to recover. School started a alf an hour ago ant the tardy's have all checking, so I'm sure I'll be getting vitors any minute
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...
Have Fun, and relax. I have 6 weeks, but I that's better than not at all (sorry Eleven011), so I'll save my complaining. We do get a 4 day weekend in February. We get out for the summer June 14. I'm...

We have 6 1/2 weeks?. We go on Spring Break the week after Easter. I can't even start a count down yet. I do have a PD day in a week from Monday, so there's that to look forward

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...
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...
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...

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...

When they show up early, (sometimes before school starts), I Tell the student he/she hasn't really tried, and to go to class, and no I'm not going to call mom until there has been a real effort made....

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...

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...

Don't get me wrong, I do understand that and I am fine if the parents tell me what's going on, it's the ones that say ok I'll be right there and I don't see them for 2 hours that I get frustrated...
Glitternurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School
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...

Great job, good thing you are there for this student. Hopefully you won't have to do it again (fingers crossed for you). Maybe that ambulance bill will help mom get a plan in place at the health...

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

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...
