    Stolen supplies

    SandIsMyGlitterRN replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    This is so sad! I will admit that I am getting a little nervous by the COVID-19 situation because I have a child that is immunosuppressed and has heart and lung issues but I am smart enough to not...

    Those days where you mumble "WTHeck" to yourself

    SandIsMyGlitterRN replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    I cannot imagine being responsible for that many students. What a huge liability! I only have 260 students and many days I am completely slammed and overwhelmed. Never do I get a lunch! I hope...

    A "real nurse" or school nurse

    SandIsMyGlitterRN replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Why do we let those words get to us???? I hate to hear those words so much. Not sure why because I am confident in my position. After all the hard work and determination it takes to complete our...

    Lord- Coronavirus drama

    SandIsMyGlitterRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Here is my concern....the symptoms sound like any other respiratory illness. How do we decide who needs to be tested now? In the beginning it was noted to only test if they have traveled. Now, with...

    SandIsMyGlitterRN replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    That is what was recommended. Wish we had a crystal ball to see how this was all going to go. Right now I am more concerned about the flu in our area but, since COVID19 is so new, we need to be...

    Student pregnancy

    SandIsMyGlitterRN replied to iggywench's topic in School

    Check your state laws. In our state, over 14 we cannot discuss with parents unless we have permission. Under 14 we can until the baby is born and then the mother of the baby is considered an adult....

    Face masks

    SandIsMyGlitterRN replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    Even the CDC (when discussing the COVID19) stated that masks are a false sense of security and should not be worn unless the person wearing it is ill. I have found that children play with the masks...

    How do you get a sub?

    SandIsMyGlitterRN replied to Jenniferocious's topic in School

    So hard to get reliable subs! I must call subs from our list if I need one. If I cannot obtain one, I have to ask a nurse from another school in our district to come and care for my students. Worst...

    Parent harassing me in clinic

    SandIsMyGlitterRN replied to KiddoRN73's topic in School

    I was just discussing this with a co-worker. I have had this same situation before. If a CPS report is made the parent always assumes it was the nurse. What an uneasy feeling to have when a parent...

    "Can you do something about this?"

    SandIsMyGlitterRN replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    Yes and much more at times. I feel as though I need to have a meeting with the teachers at least 3 times a year to remind them what my duties are. I do not mind being a team player and stepping into...

    Which Thermometer Do You Use And Why?

    SandIsMyGlitterRN replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    We have a large percentage of children with special needs in my school so I do use a no-touch thermometer. Sensory issues can make getting a temp with any other thermometer a nightmare. I do not...
