  1. DoD School Nurse

    Nurse Trini replied to Natesmom98's topic in School

    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

  2. BSN Assignment Help- Cost Control Policies

    Nurse Trini replied to neli2021's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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...

  3. If you have gotten your COVID Vaccine...

    Nurse Trini replied to Cattz's topic in School

    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

  4. If your school asked you, would you admin COVID vax on campus

    Nurse Trini replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    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,...

  5. Health aid or assistant school nurse?

    Nurse Trini replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    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...

  6. LPNs and IEPs

    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...

  7. LPNs and IEPs

    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...

  8. If you have gotten your COVID Vaccine...

    Nurse Trini replied to Cattz's topic in School

    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.

  9. Under the Influence Assessment

    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...

  10. Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    Nurse Trini replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  11. SECOND nurses office?!

    Nurse Trini replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    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...

  12. Intubation Should Be A Nursing Skill, Especially Now

    Nurse Trini replied to ErikWeeWoo's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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...

  13. LPN School Nurse Interview

    Nurse Trini replied to jakrob123's topic in School

    Welcome to the profession. Nice to see I'm not the only LPN

  14. Should I quit my program?

    Nurse Trini replied to cj_94's topic in General Nursing

    Gosh, if I got dinged for every second foley or IV catheter I had to get or something I dropped and it became unsterile and had to get another, etc... I'd go nuts. As long as you don't harm the...

  15. Post-shift anxiety

    Nurse Trini replied to rnash679's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I'm concerned as well in situations. I tell the patient (teenager) about foley care, give them the care notes, and do the same spiel to the parents, and I still fret that nobody is listening....

  16. Bored?

    Nurse Trini replied to Schoolnurselpn's topic in School

    Since we're on a modified distance/in-person, my admin is letting me flex time it. It's sort of all hands on deck on the mornings the kids are here. There's little for me to do other than some...

  17. Christmas Gift Commiseration Thread

    Nurse Trini replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I can't say I got anything from the administration (or any other entity that was employed by the school district). What always surprises me is the thanks (and consideration) extended me by the...

  18. Nurse developing early osteoarthritis

    Nurse Trini replied to Katniss88's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Everybody has unique feet, but I have been getting Brooks Addiction Walkers for a few years now. Fits me well and yeah, I can tell when I get a new pair that the old ones were worn out. I'm on my...

  19. Friday

    Nurse Trini replied to Bulldogs's topic in School

    The kids are out all next week and so am I. Friday was a full day (longer for me as I had to stay and dc a few

  20. 2020 small achievements

    Nurse Trini replied to guest464345's topic in School

    Glad to have made it for possible Betty, but I couldn't have done it without your help. Happy that this year I could handle all of the things you didn't want to do like catheterizations and the...

  21. School Nurse as a new LVN?

    Nurse Trini replied to moomin's topic in School

    I'm an LPN in the school, but not "the" school nurse. They just wanted someone who could review some of the paperwork and handle a few quasimedical stuff. Anybody truly sick or injured goes to...

  22. When is everyone *supposed* to go back?

    Nurse Trini replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    August 24 for us, too. I got my contract last week. I go back on the 24th as

  23. Want to become a School Nurse, but is it worth it?

    Nurse Trini replied to Rocio8809's topic in School

    I am an LPN and I've been very happy for the past year that I've worked with the schools. I'm dreaming of getting my RN so I can be a regular school nurse, but even my existing job is nice (modulo...

  24. What will you wear?

    Nurse Trini replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    Lysol now makes a laundry sanitizer that doesn't contain bleach. Don't know much about it, but I'm likely to give it a try.

  25. SO nervous about upcoming year :(

    Nurse Trini replied to Incognito-lpn's topic in School

    It's scary that I've head that a few states (notably Florida, I'm not there thank heavens) are planning full attendance operations as early as the beginning of August. We're still in a holding...
