Nursesusu

I got sick end of Feb and was hospitalized mid March, just as schools shut down. Never been so sick, for so long. Bilat pneumonia. Covid 19 and flu neg. Hmmm. Quarantined 8 days awaiting results which were neg. I was very surprised. Took me 2 weeks...

I'm old enough to remember the polio epidemic and what happened when the first vaccine was administered. I have to pass on a vaccine until it is proven to be safe.

Locked up by masks this week for the first time ever. What has happened to common sense??

So agree. We really don't think like teachers/admin, and they don't think like us. This thought will keep me up till 2 am for sure....

I came to school nursing from bedside oncology nursing. The pay cut was significant but the trade off makes up for it. I have decent hours, I adore the littlins that I care for, I have my evenings and weekends free, and a get a bonus 6 weeks off in...

This. This made me cry...

Nope nope nope. I'm only masking students who have fever AND respiratory symptoms AND are waiting to be picked up.

I have been watching this site for days now. Every time I refresh the page, it jumps up. Very interesting...

This docuseries will haunt me for a long time. Everyone failed him. Everyone.

Just about everything that could go wrong in that situation, did. The step dad deserved the death penalty. Mom did too but when she saw him get sentenced, she copped a plea deal fast.

One of the first things I do each morning is check the email from the secretary listing which teachers are out and who is subbing in their class. When there is a PD day, I die a little. Cause I know many teachers will be out and I will see the FF k...

Great idea!

I have a nurse doll in my office. I think these would look wonderful on her. Doubt if anyone would get the humor but I would find it most amusing.

I have no problem keeping sick kids until parents can pick them up, within reason. It's the parents who can never be reached or say they're on their way, and show up 4 hours later (at dismissal time) that cause the most frustration!

Genius! Have to steal this for future use....

I looooove this. I occasionally have someone bring me a critter in a Ziploc bag. Aaaannnnndddd?

Uh huh. Every. Time. As they grin at me. Kids are too darn savvy.

Hey, fellow Hoosier! I am wondering what will happen when the virus really spreads (assuming that it will) in large 3rd world countries that have limited and overtaxed healthcare to begin with...I am amazed that India has one person who tested posit...

"Mowing my lawn for the next year". Priceless!

You are my spirit animal. I've also been closely following this virus online since late December. I check the updates daily and have been fascinated by the whole scenario. I watched a Netflix documentary around the time this thing began, I think i...

Had this happen to me not long ago. I did a DCS call on a foster student. Foster mom told secretary she needed to talk to me and secretary let her in. She stood between me and my door, then proceeded to shut my door and lay into me. Her biggest g...

I agree! I usually tell them to eat breakfast first, then check in with their teacher. The teacher can decide whether they need to see me or not.

I tell parents they're not giving away Lamborghinis or Bentleys this year for perfect attendance.

No way would I agree unless district lawyer and Admin were present.

Just curious how many are seeing Flu A or B? Seems we are getting hit with a lot of Flu A, especially in K.
