    EnoughWithTheIce replied to guest464345's topic in School

    I must be a real meanie. I may buy some occasional mints, crackers or even extra juice (for diabetics - just in case). However, no way am I buying stock OTC meds out of my pocket. If district wants...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to guest464345's topic in School

    Wow!!!! No budget at all. That is awful for you as the nurse and those poor kids. I agree with other posters. Take those things that you have bought out of your own pocket with you if you ever

  11. Obese Kinder Child

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    I am not sure why teachers think we have some sort of special ability to make parents / students make healthy choices! Do they have special abilities to make a kid do their homework or pass a...

  17. Latex Balloons

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to CrazySchoolNurse's topic in School

    If it is severe - need action plan and epi-pen on campus. No school can guarantee latex free, peanut free, etc free environment so there must be an emergency plan in

  18. When parents are not upfront on medical forms

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School
