Oh NutmeggeRN. I feel this in my soul.

I got my Moderna booster on Saturday Morning. My arm was just a little bit sore, achy, chills and tired. It was all over by Monday morning.

I'll take that hug and one right back at you:)))

This is 14 th year as a school nurse. I'm in for the duration. This is still better than any other area I have worked in up to this point. So glad to see so many familiar names. This is the first time in 6 weeks I have had 3.5 uninterrupted minutes to read anything. Hang in there!

I am so glad you have broken away from this nightmare. Everything is a learning experience and you will never fall into this trap again. Best wishes on your next adventure.

That is great news!! Proud of you!!!

Baby Yarn has had one or both of us at school at certain times and is OK with the arrangement. Baby Yarn is pretty chill. Baby Yarn likes to eat and electricity too so putting up with regular paychecks rolling in isn't so bad. When I was growing up lots of my classmates had their own parents as teachers, coaches, principals. They just kind of went with the flow:)))

OMG?

You did a great job. You will get more comfortable everyday. You hang in there and welcome to school nursing.

Well, I check in on this site to see how it is going. I hate that you had to spend one dollar on this. 1. Child was not harmed, 2. Parent supplied medication. 3. Child was not harmed. ( It needed saying again.) 4. Doctor and parent made aware. 5. I myself have made changes because of this to make certain that I lower my odds of something like this happening and bet you have as well. Everything else completely unnecessary and costly. You stay strong. Maybe you could write a new continuing education course to help others in the future when this craziness is over. It makes me wonder what else have we not thought of that could go wrong with the medication we receive on a regular basis???

I do not know how many times in my head I have said, "Stop touching the children." ?

I check in on this thread more than my personal email. I worry about her too. Hugs coming your way.

Tragic :(((( So sorry for your loss.

Did the supervisor ever get back to about the liquid Zyrtec? The question that keeps nagging me is how did she know???? I have had real deal audits and never had any of them look at the actual pills. They just made certain the paperwork was in place. You have been on my mind. Hugs.

uofanurse this whole thing says loads more about the supervisor than you. I have never doubted a medication that was brought to me in the pharmacy bottle. I have worked in several districts and have never been instructed per policy to use the pill identifier. I'd be right there with you. I will check from now on as a result of your experience. Little round white pills. I truly am not a litigious or vengeful person, however, I hope your lawyer has an absolute field day with your supervisor. Ay Dios mio. Nothing but positive vibes coming your way.
