  1. my office is NOT a nap room!

    Wow! We have about the same amount of students and sounds like a far bigger office!! I'm jealous lol! I would let them rest in my office and still see other kids, but keep the lights off and instruct...

    Possibly!
  3. Which Thermometer Do You Use And Why?

    welch allyn oral thermometer. I don't trust the accuracy of temporal scanners or ear
  4. Pre-K Nurses HelP!!

    Yes! I have them say beep and it works wonders! Another thing that I do is ask the PreK teachers to condition them during circle time. I found a youtube video that has examples of the exact beeps...
  5. Immunization Question!

    My PreKers are technically in school, so they go by the school laws, not childhood. But, I believe they're fairly close if not the same anyway. As far as exemptions go, that varies state by state. In...

  7. Student Overdoses

    When I was in nursing school, I worked as a float care tech in a large hospital and was frequently floated as a sitter for those who were on suicide watch, most of which attempted by ODing on Tylenol....
  8. Pink Eye Policy

    We don't have a policy persae, but I follow the guideline given by my state's department of public health which states "exclude if conjunctivitis is accompanied by symptoms of systemic illness or if...
  9. elementary/middle school diabetics

    Where are your 5th graders with diabetes at in the grand scheme of "total dependent care to complete self care?" I have a 5th grade student who is almost exclusively dependent for care (my first year...
  10. CBD Administration in School? Policy?

    In IL, it is now legal and schools have to administer it if the parents request and go about it in a policy approved manner. It has to be in a form that will not become a burden to others (ie, not...
  11. Any Nursing Moms?

    As far as yesterday, email the teachers and ask if they truly did come back to class. If they did stay and hang out, the teacher probably doesn't realize it. Call the kids out on it!! I'd do one of...
  12. Parent with Borderline Personality Disorder

    I'm sorry you're dealing with this. We have quite a few parents here that are obviously mentally ill and it is just sad. I feel awful for the kids who have to live with it every
  13. CBD Administration in School? Policy?

    If it is legal in your state, check with your state's board of education. It was just made legal here and our state board of education put out a webinar about it laying out what we need to
  14. elementary/middle school diabetics

    Right?! I have difficulty sugar coating things. I either don't talk or it ALL comes spilling out, so wish me luck! She might hate me after this
  15. Chronic Head Lice

    First off, make sure admin is aware and can help partner with you. Sometimes if the principal gets involved, things are taken a little more seriously. You can also refer the entire family to a lice...
  16. Working while sick

    No, I wouldn't wear a mask. Chances are, their fellow classmates are coughing, sneezing, and wiping their snotty noses all over them anyway. I'll wash my hands more frequently and wipe things down,...
  17. elementary/middle school diabetics

    Our middle school is 5th-8th. So, she technically is in middle school. Argh! Thank you all for reassuring me that I'm not being too demanding in my
  18. Diabetes Question

    The first
  19. Gave an EPI pen for first time in years

    Great job!!! You saw your student's condition worsening and you acted upon it. Situations like this always remind me of Natalie Giorgio. She didn't eat it either, but epi was administered too late...
  20. Grant money for Hearing and Vision Equipment

    Yes. In IL, we can't use the spot screeners at all. I wish we could, especially for our PreK students that are either super young or are either nonverbal, autistic, or just super
  21. Grant money for Hearing and Vision Equipment

    Try Donors Choose. BUT, I'll tell you, it's the ancient machines that usually stand the test of time
  22. Coronavirus concern for incoming student

    Same here. This what I received today: Guidance for schools K-12 schools may have exchange students or other students who attend their school and have traveled to various areas in Asia, including...
  23. Really not appreciating the attitude today

    The attitude and the entitlement coupled with the expectation that I should just accept the attitude and entitlement while keeping a smile on my face and not stick up for myself is making me want to...
  24. First day back after mat leave

    I'm not going to say this in a mean way, but don't do it. It is overwhelming for the first few years as a seasoned nurse, let alone a new grad. You need to get some peds or med surg experience and get...
  25. How? Just, HOW?!

    Right?!?! Good gravy, she probably
