Thursday is our last day before Spring break. When we get back we have the last 35 day straight stretch to the end of the year.
Yes, as with many, I'm going to be happy to see this year finished. Gee, I'm even happy to see us get to Spring b...

I understand that, but I was asking who the employer is. I've lived places where while the building is on a military base, the local school district actually runs it and is the employer.

I'm curious. Is this a DoD-operated school or does the local school system operate it and it just happens to be on base and serving dependent children?

Unless you're greatly inflating the prices for things, the trays aren't a whole lot more expensive than just the foley but I see the general point. I only know this because I'm responsible for actually ordering the supplies for my department. I e...
I got my second one and the reaction wasn't so bad. Shingrix hit me worse (I had chicken pox and though I'm not 50, it was recommended I get it since I didn't get the Varicella vaccine as a child.

They did a mass COVID vaccination in our parking lot. It was run by one of the local hospitals (large healthcare conglomerate). They asked if anybody wanted to volunteer for traffic control, etc... but all the actual medical staff came from the...

I'm the second nurse but I'm in a different area. I was hired to offload some of the administrative stuff off the primary nurse. Of course, things changed a bit with COVID so I got pushed into doing a lot of the screening stuff for that as well....
Nurse Trini replied to jakrob123's topic in School
Yes, there are two aspects:
1. The behavior in question is caused by the student's disability (manifestation as NutmeggeRN points out).
2. The discipline procedure proposed is inappropriate as it would interfere with the student's necessa...
Nurse Trini replied to jakrob123's topic in School
I think it's really up to the district (or state) in most cases. Federally, there's no requirement for the nurse at all. It requires the parent, one regular ED teacher, one special ED teacher, and a rep of the district. The school or parent can...
Got my Fauci Ouchi two weeks ago (actually didn't hurt much at the time, but my arm was mildly sore later in the day). Haven't got my second. (Moderna)
Nurse Trini replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School
I like the forms, thanks. I've just been giving my free form description of general observations. Of course, in our district, if the student is subject to random testing (athletes, extracurricular activities, drive to school, parental opt-in) I c...

I got most of my IV experience when they assigned me to the phlebotomy nurse on her rounds. She wasn't my technically instructor (I had done one with the real instructor) but she let me draw blood/start IVs on the patients she would have done. Ye...

We are a two nurse building, but it's split functionally. The main nurse runs a clinic that sees most of the patient care stuff. I'm in the administrative office suite and handle most of the paperwork (IEP, IHP, iDP, 501) and discipline matters ...
Nurse Trini replied to ErikWeeWoo's topic in COVID
I spent two days running round doing IV starts and drawing blood. Foleys, not so much. I got to do one on a real patient just because I happened to be there when someone needed one placed. I didn't expect to end up needing that skill, but got...
