  1. Who gets the backpack

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Schoolnurselpn's topic in School

    I had this situation at my last school. Kids ALWAYS needed something out of those dang lockers when they had sprained ankles, etc. and couldn't walk on their own. If I could, I would wheel (or escort)...

  2. appendicitis

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to basketball13's topic in School

    I had one of those a few years ago, writing and moaning like no tomorrow. About to call 911 when mom arrived. Mom brought some coca colas and some gas x to check in. IT WAS

  3. appendicitis

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to basketball13's topic in School

    Several years ago I had a 6th grade student come to see me on the first day of school. At first, I thought nervous tummy. A few hours later he came back. No temp, no guarding, no fever, etc. He just...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    The consequence at my school is a court appearance and a fine. Sometimes it helps alleviate the problem, sometimes it does not. However, at least the parents are

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    It is a battle that we will never win. We have a very tight attendance policy at my school (which parents sign off on but forget!!!). If it becomes routine and they start getting the attendance...

  6. Happy Halloween!!!

    EnoughWithTheIce posted a topic in School

    May the odds be ever in our favor!!! It is the day that I ust go ahead and have the stock epi and benadryl on my desk and ready to

  7. Increase in bad student behavior.

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    This right here!!! And truthfully, so many of the adults in the building are just as bad so how can we expect more from the kids? I am just so tired of the fact that all of the parents (and their...

  8. Why so long

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to NurseHeatherBSNRN's topic in School

    So agree with this!! For those that are up front, I will jump hoops to help them. It is the ones that say they are 10 minutes away and they say it every time I call over a 4 hour

  9. Schools medical policy?

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to MegWorth's topic in School

    Where do you clean wounds? Where do kids use the restroom?? Where do they lay down when ill?? OMG!!! Yes, you need your own office!! Privacy just beeing one of many

  10. C'Mon Now!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Kid comes from PE with a shabbily wrapped gauze around his knee. Turns out he fell and had torn a scab from a previous abrasion. "Coach already put some alcohol on it but wants you to look at it." Me:...

  11. 1 wk into School Nursing ready to quit!! Is this normal?

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to StressedRN76's topic in School

    It sounds like the nurse that has been there for so long cares more about making staff happy than doing the right thing. You are most likely not ever going to be able to change the culture while she...

  12. C'Mon Now!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    So, I know every papercut and hangnail in the building but nobody mentioned the kid that shakes so bad x 3 years that he can barely hold a pencil. C'MON ON

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    We had a request once for an IEP that nobody from the SPED department was allowed to speak to him. Still trying to figure out how that would

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    And what is so sad is that these requests are more likely about her needs instead of her

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    NIIICCEEEE!!!!!!

  16. Unwilling link in the enabling chain...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    I so feel this post!!! Listen, these kids cannot help how manipulative and dramatic they are. Adults have allowed them to become this way. Kids jobs are to push boundaries, it is up to us to draw a...

  17. C'Mon Now!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    And so, how many times are they going to interrupt your class to apply a band-aid and to stop a nosebleed???????????

  18. Are you serious??????

    EnoughWithTheIce posted a topic in School

    Week 3 and I feel like a dumping ground!!! This is my 14th year as a school nurse and I really feel like it may be my last. I am at a MS of about 900 and have really great, supportive office staff...

  19. Are you serious??????

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to EnoughWithTheIce's topic in School

    Ok Part TWO - same counselor brings a student who has a phobia about vomit / germs/ bathroom stalls to use my clinic bathroom (where a student is sitting hanging there head over a trash can

  20. Petty and not proud of it

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    As soon as I entered my building this morning (15 minutes before my contracted time) - receptionist rolls her eyes and tells me 2 staff members were looking for me because the photographer taking...

  21. Getting out just in time!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Bye Felicias!!! Uggggghhhh nooooo, there is not enough time in the day to call every parent for every little thing. Why have nurses if you are going to take away all of their

  22. boundaries with coworkers' medical info

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to guest464345's topic in School

    I am the same way! My job is done once that person goes out in the ambulance. If they want to update me, great. If not, they are adults and that is their choice. Everybody is a nosey nellie in the...

  23. C'Mon Now!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Really??? It amazes me that some teachers can reply all to every single staff e-mail, send funny jokes daily, try to sell their furniture, get rid of their pet, etc. HOWEVER, they are too busy to ever...

  24. Rules for next year

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to guest464345's topic in School

    I just think having an AT at the middle school makes more (and not less) work for me since she is only on campus during morning athletics. Most days, she leaves even before practice is over and then...

  25. Breaking the Rules to Save a Life

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I think it all comes down to "what would a reasonable and prudent nurse do?" In this case, I think use the glucagon and save the girls life!!! Would I break policy for an advil? Never!! But being...
