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....

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...
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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
