  1. Shake it off

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Rizowe's topic in School

    Well said, I often think this. I am full time this year at a school that has always had only a part -time nurse before. The office manager was the stand in and just sent them right back when they...

  2. C'Mon Now!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    SPED teachers and aides just kill me, they are so needy and rude!!! I really wish I could print the info below and give them each their own sign. 1. Do not come in the clinic and just stand there...

  3. C'Mon Now!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    31 for me!

  4. C'Mon Now!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Don't you just love parents that helicopter over you but don't have a clue as to what is going on with their kid??? Kid told me she stopped taking allergy meds because it made her too sick but mom had...

  5. No seriously, there's a (school) nursing shortage

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    While I am always going to advocate for a school nurse in every school building, I don't know if it would have changed the outcome in this case. Is it sometimes a false sense of security?? It is not...

  6. Essential Oil Diffusers

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    Hopefully, the principal has enough common sense to shut this down!!! However, some schools /districts cater to making parents happy so you never know. I know, I used to work at a school like that,...

  7. How do you deal with overreactors?

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    I use the therapeutic silence trick a lot. I am in middle school so the last thing I want to do is to play into the drama. If they persist with their complaint after all interventions then there...

  8. PARENTS say the darndest things

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I had a dad rip me a new one on Friday for calling on a suspected wrist fracture. He made a big show in my office of doing his assessment and announcing there was no fracture as he is an EMT. He had...

  9. AM meds at school

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to NurseMMJ's topic in School

    Medications should be administered at school only if not possible at home. My goal is to make the parent / student as responsible as possible. This being said, there is always the exception - no adult...

  10. Annoyed and perhaps a little unsure

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I had the opposite today - wrist injury that I suspect is fractured. Dad who is an EMT used his x-ray vision to let me know I was wrong. Never once have I seen this girl in my office. Dad had her in...

  11. C'Mon Now!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    OMG!!!! That is so funny, I needed that laugh. But, poor you! Don't you have something in your secret nurse orificenal to fix

  12. C'Mon Now!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    YEP!!! Beggars can't be choosers. Today has been "the clinic must be wal-mart day." Been asked for febreeze, socks and reading glasses.

  13. I don;t pull teeth

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Yep, I am in Middle School and my goal is to nip it in the bud. Find out if it is legit and get appropriate accommodations or move on. otherwise, they will milk it to no

  14. I don;t pull teeth

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    YOU.ARE.MY.SOUL.SISTER!! 1. If it is bad enough that it needs any sort of support - needs to be further evaluated. 2. If you wrap something, they will be back 4 times that same day because it is too...

  15. C'Mon Now!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Don't you know that you must have a nursing license to purchase eyeglass cleanser, safety pins and feminine

  16. Annoyed and perhaps a little unsure

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Sounds like you did everything right. And if it is so bad and mom is soooo concerned, why the heck is he at school today????? I have just started making a habit of calling on anything above the...

  17. C'Mon Now!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I am just amazed at the symptoms that can continue for 4 days (including an extra Monday off) and absolutely nothing be done. Then, less than 2 hours before the end of the school day on Tuesday -...

  18. C'Mon Now!

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Was is a 3 leaf or 4 leaf clover???? I mean a 3 leaf is right up there with Ebola but a 4 leaf is good

  19. What's the oddest thing you've done for a student?

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    This thread jinxed me!!! I just had 3 giggling 6th graders come to the clinic. 2 carrying a binder that was attached to the 3rd girl's hair. I legit barely touched the strand of hair and it slipped...

  20. What's the oddest thing you've done for a student?

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    I was called to a classroom (after taking the 2nd bite of my lunch) because a student's finger was stuck in her desk. I get there, look under the desk and student's finger hooked in a metal piece...

  21. I just told a parent

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Good for you!!! I think society / school climate has brought us to a point where we fear being honest with parents. They do pay us for our professional opinion so we are doing an injustice if do not...

  22. Complaint of the Day

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    Seriously???? NO!!!! Tell her when you get home. I had one come in looking for a bag to carry her neck pillow in. My plastic wal-mart bags were not to her liking. I used some of that therapeutic...

  23. Screenings

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    I am in middle school where kids switch classes. I usually pull from 1 core subject. I usually do English but you could pick math, science - whichever set of teachers are willing to volunteer. If they...

  24. Family sues school district for death

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Emergent's topic in School

    Yes to all of the above!!! Many, many times notes make it to me after the fact. It just irks me, if your child desperately needs an accommodation, pick up the phone and call somebody or walk them in...

  25. Student sues Health Dept. (2nd verse, same as the first)

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I really wish anti vaxers would have to sit through at least an hour long class before they were even provided the exemption
