  1. Really not appreciating the attitude today

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to nursex23's topic in School

    Any "Real School Nurse" would know that there is more to a pass than a piece of paper. 1. Safety - we need to have all students accounted for at all times, passes allow us to hand off student...

  2. Parent harassing me in clinic

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to KiddoRN73's topic in School

    Curious as to what time school actually starts?? Here is the deal, if you start being there at 7:40 for med drop off - then, she will want to drop off at 7:20 and the slippery slope begins. Therefore,...

  3. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Don't most states have a law stating they must provide a private place to pump??? I would turn it right back on them for failing to provide that!! I would like to know what would happen if a teacher...

  4. "Can you do something about this?"

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    I am amazed at the things they send or call me for. There are 2 counselors, 3 administrators and only 1 of me. If it is behavioral, call an admin. If it is anxiety, etc. - call a counselor. Now, I...

  5. FERPA violation?

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    At some point, teachers need to be accountable to do their job and check the health alerts! We are responsible for getting the info out but we are not responsible to spoon feed grown

    I have a student who has a history of Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis. At least 8-10 times a school year for 2 years, kid presents to the clinic (usually on Monday morning after playing baseball...

  8. my office is NOT a nap room!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    I would like to add to this that my bathroom should not be the answer to all bathroom issues. My clinic is very small in size but I see 50-60 kids a day - plus needy staff, plus lots of adults...

  9. What's your record...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    I have pretended that a kid has presented to the clinic and they are bleeding. "Gotta

  10. Parent Pick-Up of Sick Kiddo

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I have one that was dropped off at 10:00 this morning - comes straight to see me. School starts at 8:45. Kid says he had diarrhea at home, mom says he did not. Kid doesn't look too ill so hard to say...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Update on this staff member!! She tested positive for flu. I found this out on facebook last

  13. Do you ever meet with parent lawyer?

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to seedanurse's topic in School

    I was actually involved in a child custody case AND: 1. Records were released AFTER we received a subpoena 2. I spoke to lawyer and went to court AFTER I received a subpoena. 3. District lawyers...

  14. C'Mon Now!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Love the hand claps!! This is exactly what I wanted to do a few minutes ago. Teacher feeling miserable, coughing up a lung x 3 weeks. CALL YOUR DOCTOR! "But I never ran a fever!" she says. CALL YOUR...

  15. I hate to tell you I told you so........

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to EnoughWithTheIce's topic in School

    My school nurse peeps understand!! Never would I feel happy about a student being ill / injured. It was more of a validation of "oh, that school nurse does know what she is talking about after all."...

  16. I hate to tell you I told you so........

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to EnoughWithTheIce's topic in School

    Sure did (and documented that I did so)!!! Proper ice use is one of the things I LOVE to educate on - hence my username!! This particular student stomped out because her teacher told her she needed...

  17. Providing Care to Staff

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    And as someone else mentioned - these things are a slippery slope. You do it for 1 person and then all of the sudden, you have a line of staff out the door needing this and that!!! And I find that I...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I spoke with the mom this afternoon about the student with the glucometer. Good lord, she has been wearing another student's cgm on top of it. When asked about doctors orders - "well, they...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    I just can't!!!!! I had one of my frequent fliers come in with a juice in one hand and a glucometer in the other "I am shaky and low." Ughhh, this girl IS NOT A DIABETIC but one of her friends is and...

  21. Any Nursing Moms?

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Can you put a note on your door and send them to the front office? Then, someone there can get them to where they need to be and / or screen for anything potentially urgent. Stand your ground though!...

  23. Coping with emergencies at any time.

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to tomn13's topic in School

    Such good advice!!! We only have limited supplies / equipment. Just remember your ABC's, have your go bag ready, do the best you can, call for help when you need it and stay calm (becuase those around...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    One of my biggest pet peeves!!!! Student hurts themselves at home or non-school related function, parents do nothing, kid (runs) into clinic the next day for ice. Not too worried about that knee...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    My dream is that some day a staff member will poke their head in my door, see how busy I am and then politely say "I see you are busy, I will come back later." I know it is a pipe dream, but - one can...
