    I told mom that I would call his teacher and remind him before lunch...the trick is the days i'm tied up like yesterday and dont see that it's past time until it's past! I call for every other check....

  6. Ugh...what would you have done?

    ERschoolRN posted a topic in School

    So I had a kindergartner sent down that supposedly threw up at recess. He didnt speak much to me but his friend said he ate a lot of lunch and then threw up. No fever. Drank a cup of water and kept it...

  8. Elementary nurses - teacher referral?

    ERschoolRN replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    I have been having similar things. I don't mind seeing any kid but most of them go back to class. I don't get much push back. I think it's just the time of the year they're all worried they will get...

    ERschoolRN posted a topic in School

    Anyone had to deal with this in their schools? It's my 1st year at an elementary school (1st year as school nurse at all) and my 2 boys come with. Last week all 3 of my kids had raging head lice...

    ERschoolRN replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

    I totally agree. Oddly I haven't heard much since getting the all clear with my son and have no quetions from parents....maybe they really did direct questions to the health dept like the note

  11. Help Please!

    ERschoolRN replied to JLA's topic in School

    1. I would say the hardest thing is the lack of comraderie. You don't have a "team" and coming from ER I was used to that. I am confident in my own assessments but I miss a sounding board which is why...

  12. Vomit Emergency

    ERschoolRN replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Our district policy is that a grown up has to witness said vomiting to be a reason to go home. Everyone loves that. Haha. If no one has witnessed I always PO challenge. If no fever and they hold water...

  15. Sensitive topic--Pertussis

    ERschoolRN replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

    Thanks! That sounds way more organized than what i've gone through this week. I think the biggest issue was the doctor who is in charge at DoH was out on monday when the info came through. I guess it...

    ERschoolRN replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

    thankfully i have no unvaxed or exemption kids. that made it easier. But they are only telling me to report "severe cough" at this point which my child did not fall into the

  17. Sensitive topic--Pertussis

    ERschoolRN replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

    No that's my bigger frustration. I got the original call about 2:30 monday afternoon and we get out at 3:00. Kids were in an assembly so i couldn't really go and observe the class like they wanted me...

  18. Sensitive topic--Pertussis

    ERschoolRN replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

    Guidelines did come down from the DoH. The communicable diseases CNS is the one that told me i had to keep my son home based on "he has a cough and a direct exposure in his classroom". I do think they...

    ERschoolRN replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

    Wow that's wild it got that bad! The letter did come from DoH and did say to call The health dept so hopefully i won't deal with too much of it. I've made it clear to his teacher that he really didn't...

    ERschoolRN replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

    Yes exactly. I'm so mad i said a word about his occasional sporadic dry cough. He had 1 episode Saturday where he coughed to that gaging point. I wasn't expecting my boss to escalate it. I'm just mad...

    ERschoolRN replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

    I know. Technically he doesn't have the symptoms with an occasional cough which has gotten better. I don't even think he's coughed once today. But the director had her son test positive with only a...

    ERschoolRN replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

  25. How do you get paid?

    ERschoolRN replied to scout mom's topic in School

    I think there's huge variation by region. I live in Arkansas and am salaried. I make $38,700. I took at $15,000 paycut for this job but of course the hours, being with my kids more, etc made it worth...
