  2. Power point?

    ihavealltheice replied to soontoretire2020's topic in School

    I think it depends on your specific role and your level of comfort working with the programs. I do a lot of IEP meetings and manage multiple buildings, so I use Google docs/sheets (the Google version...

  4. New to work and School Nursing.

    ihavealltheice replied to coldcasejustice's topic in School

    So, I don't want to discourage you, but school nursing isn't as easy to jump into as people think. Even having a medical assisting background doesn't quite prepare you for what you'll face (usually...

  6. Do you get any real and regular supervision?

    ihavealltheice replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    This was a big reason as to why I left my last job. I was willing to put up with a lot, but the constant micromanaging got to be too much for

  7. Do you get any real and regular supervision?

    ihavealltheice replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    I am based out of 1 school, but cover the IEPs for mine and 6 other schools. So, between my building admin, director of student services, director of special ED services and the other admin that I...

  8. Anyone have their masters?

    ihavealltheice posted a topic in School

    Anyone here have their MSN and have any programs they recommend? Bonus points if you're in IL. To be certified in my state (IL), we have to commit to a graduate level certificate program which...

  9. Vision/Hearing exams on preschool age children

    ihavealltheice replied to peaceful2100's topic in School

    For the super littles like PreK, I have involved the teachers in the past to help me condition them during their circle time. I have used Youtube videos that play the tones, they practice listening to...

    ihavealltheice replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    Yes! Google Nursing CE Central. They have TONS of super easy and free CEUs. Many of them pertain to pediatrics, emergency management and school

  13. Happy Nurse's week.... I guess

    ihavealltheice replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    Not that I'm aware of. I don't mind it though because I'm perfectly happy remaining in the background and flying under the radar

  15. Staying or Going?

    ihavealltheice replied to BooBooCrew's topic in School

    I think the schedule is a reason why many people get into school nursing. Don't ever feel selfish or guilty for doing what is best for your

  16. Summer Summer Summer!

    ihavealltheice replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I just signed a contract to volunteer as a beach bum for the duration of the Summer. It'll be quite stressful

    ihavealltheice replied to jnemartin's topic in School

  18. Considering Becoming A School Nurse

    ihavealltheice replied to kkadi's topic in School

    I think that where the school nurse profession is headed is different in each state. Some states mandate that there is a school nurse in every building where other states are much like California...

  19. 40 days left!!

    ihavealltheice replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    I have 40 days after today! My kids have 45. We've been 100% virtual up until this week, so professionally, it's been OK. BUT it has been very stressful from a personal perspective as my...

  20. SECOND nurses office?!

    ihavealltheice posted a topic in School

    Hi all, Been a while since I have logged in. I decided to take the leap of faith and change districts and although I would never recommend changing jobs in the middle of a pandemic (ha!), I am so...

  21. SECOND nurses office?!

    ihavealltheice replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    It really depends on your district and your state. In my state, if you have an extra certification, you are considered a teacher and receive the benefits of the teachers in most districts (it is still...

  22. Staying or Going?

    ihavealltheice replied to BooBooCrew's topic in School

    There has been no discussion of incentives to stay, but I'll be returning next year to my current position. Having left a district with a more toxic environment last year, my current district has been...

  23. Diabetes Delegated Care Aides

    ihavealltheice replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    I would do both. For the teachers/staff who will have direct contact with the student, I would have the diabetic educator teach them. For the remainder of the staff, I would do a shorter...

  24. Epi pens and stomach pain

    ihavealltheice replied to schoolnursenewbie's topic in School

    Always look for the involvement of a 2nd body system. Yes, 90% of your allergic reactions are going to present with hives/rash/throat issues first, but there's always that odd outlier. The first...

    ihavealltheice replied to Cattz's topic in School

    I had my first Moderna a week ago. I had a fairly significant amount of arm pain for 3 days following. I also slept very poorly and had a stiff neck for that duration of time. I'm not sure...
