  6. Too Many Visits - advice for teachers?

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    I have had one on one conversations with teachers before to try to get at the root of why they specifically send so many kids. Often, they just think they should!! At my prior school, there were...

  9. Dear coworkers, I'm not your mom (or free PCP)

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to guest464345's topic in School

    What really irks me about this situation is that the staff member does not want 911 called, does not want family member called, blah, blah. They also do not want to leave the clinic either - like you...

  10. Poorest lack of judgment EVER!!!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I agree. I have been astounded over the years what teachers will send to the clinic with no note, no phone call, no escort. Possible concussions, really low blood sugars, asthma symptoms, etc. It as...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to guest464345's topic in School

    Happens EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. I have worked in 3 districts and 5 schools and this is the one thing you can always count on. I have learned to balance it out. Sure, I will take a look at it....

  15. Poorest lack of judgment EVER!!!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Here is my thought!! Most of these people have kids of their own. Can they not put themselves into the place of "what if this was my kid, what would I want somebody else to do for...

  16. Enablement Overload

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Because physicians just give them what they want so that they don't have to deal with these type of kids/parents. I have teachers say "well, the doctor gave him so it must be legit." Nope, they do it...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Glad it turned out all ok!!! Once again though, this entire debacle goes back on the teacher for sticking her nose in where it DOES NOT BELONG! We are not ON CALL nurses, we are not paid to be in the...

  20. 911 call

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to waxynurse3's topic in School

    I have a teacher who has her planning period at 2:00, which so happens to be when I try to grab a few bites to eat at my desk. EVERY.SINGLE.DAY she needs something. Can you talk to a student about BO,...
