  1. Teacher Issue...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to CarlyCastaneda's topic in School

    Sometimes these practices come back to bite them on the butt. I had a student that the SPED was sending home A LOT for "illness." When mom got the truancy letter - she was mad! Admin came to me on why...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Avill's topic in School

    I just had a conversation with a SPED teacher who had "no clue" she was supposed to call or put on my e-pass before sending a student down because of covid protocol. We have been in person since...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to guest464345's topic in School

    I just sent a student home with 4 covid symptoms, including a temp. Reason for being sent to school - so she would not miss basketball

    EnoughWithTheIce posted a topic in School

    Do you ever feel that their department is a full-time job in itself??? And I am not talking about the kids, THE STAFF! And they don't seem to know how to use a telephone - they just love to call...

  10. So Discouraged...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to pineappleupsidedowncake's topic in School

    I had a VERY similar situation about 3-4 weeks ago. These episodes had happened several times at home but parents had never given me a heads up. You can only make decisions based on the info you...

    COVID C'MON NOW!! Parent #1 sends kid to school with cough, fever, body aches, etc. Mad because you send home and quarantine when "it is just allergies!" Parent #2 keeps kid at home for 3...

  14. Rapid testing in schools- any here in MA?

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    This is what I would fear! After 8 weeks in, I am finally getting parents to understand the need to keep ill kids home and follow up with their PCP. If they found out we are testing, the lines will be...

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

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    In my soul, I really believe that this would not be done to any other person on a school campus besides the nurse. That is disheartening!! I would find a place where nobody could find me from here on...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    I had a student that fell out of his chair in class last week. I was called to the scene because "he can't move." When I got there, I assessed his head/neck/ back - all normal. I asked him if he could...
