  1. HS and MS nurses, have you ever met a very manipulative student?

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Avill's topic in School

    I am in MS and the manipulation is rampant!! It is normal adolescent behavior to push boundaries. Here is the deal though! When I was this age, when we pushed boundaries - the adults in our life...

  2. Lice, Lice and more Lice...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Bulldogs's topic in School

    I always question "my kid keeps getting it back." I would bet money that the original infestation was never properly treated. I have 2 daughters with long, thick hair. Even with combing almost daily...

  3. Asthmatic emergency

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to nicole.schoolRN's topic in School

    Personally, I would have stood my ground. "Mom, based on my assessment, your child needs immediate evaluation. We can call 911 or you can transport him / her to the ER immediately. What is your...

  4. Forgery,

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to BettyGirard's topic in School

    Here is the problem with society, us not being comfortable with holding kids accountable. As good as we are, we are not professional forger investigators!! This kid needs to take all the blame and...

  5. C'Mon Now!

  6. C'Mon Now!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    But then, you can actually have a teacher send you a kid that can't stay awake in class and it be an actual valid excuse.

  7. Frequent Flyers

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to alligatoRN's topic in School

    13 years of school nurse experience here, 10 in middle school. I agree, you have to stand tough with students AND staff, even if you get the reputation of being mean. Otherwise, you will get...

  8. Judgement being questioned

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to GertieGrantRN's topic in School

    What does your school policy list as excludable conditions? It is listed clear as day on our website and is based on local health department protocols. This is your guide and back up for running your...

  9. Vision and Hearing

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to jess11RN's topic in School

    I would not do it either! Sounds counter

  10. Left job to safeguard my license - what "reason" to add on new applications?

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to KatiejonD's topic in School

    I agree with focusing on student safety (or lack thereof). I was in a similar situation at my previous school. Nobody really seemed to care about policies, procedures, and just plain ole doing the...

  12. Those parents who believe everything their kids say

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

  13. New School Nurse - how to prepare

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to ChristmasNurse's topic in School

    Blue_Moon is right on point. Do not try to take on extra stuff until you feel more comfortable with your nursing responsibilities. Do not let staff and parents try to bully you into doing things their...

  14. TODAY!!!!!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    This is our last full day before break, we have just half day tomorrow and so far: 1. Lice in the library - girls braiding each other's hair before school and SURPRISE! 2. 7th grade "athletic trainer...

  15. Elementary nurses - teacher referral?

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    In the districts that I have worked for, only select people can exclude students form school. Admin, counselors, nurse AND there should always be sound reasoning and complete documentation to back...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Some days I feel like "THE SWEEPER." Always cleaning up after other people's bad

  17. Need to vent and process this

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to jess11RN's topic in School

    JUST WOW!!!!!! It was my understanding that only the patient (or parent/guardian) could refuse. That seems like a huge liability to me. I have gotten questioned by EMT's why i did not give albuterol...

  18. The Big Chill

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to beachynurse's topic in School

    You can tell that ice is one of my biggest pet peeves by looking at my user name!!! After 13 years experience, I have decided the ice battle is not one thatI am going to fight. I pretty much give it...

    SPED teacher walks kid to clinic "he has been lethargic, sleepy and not himself all day." Took a full set of vitals, neuro assessment, etc, etc. Called mom to check in see if there were any med...

  22. Those parents who believe everything their kids say

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I once had a student allergic to fish, she could not go anywhere near the cafeteria when they served it. We had an alternative plan for her on those days. One day there was a sub eating a tuna...
