  1. Influenza

    SchoolNurseK replied to Nursesusu's topic in School

  2. Blood Disorder and Severe Bruising

    SchoolNurseK replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    I agree that something is not right. Parents with chronically ill children are usually more than forthcoming with medical info. I would keep documenting and calling CPS, even if it is multiple times...

  3. Blood Disorder and Severe Bruising

    SchoolNurseK replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    Document, document, document!!! If you are allowed, I suggest attaching pictures to your notes as well. Is there prior medical history in the Cum folder? Surely this has been addressed in the past...

  5. Really Sick

    SchoolNurseK replied to Kooky Korky's topic in School

    I have yet to get sick this year (fingers crossed!!!) but I have been crazy with the Clorox wipes, gloves and if you even look remotely sick, you get a mask in my clinic! The kids hate it, but I DO...

  8. Addressing Student Body Odor

    SchoolNurseK posted a topic in School

    SchoolNurseK replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

  11. Addressing Student Body Odor

    SchoolNurseK replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    The student is a high school senior, so apparently he isn't prone to succumbing to peer pressure. Usually a good thing, but maybe not in this

  12. tick tock....1 more sleep

    SchoolNurseK replied to Bulldogs's topic in School

    My high schoolers have been in exams all week so it's been crickets around here. The nice thing is, I get to leave at 1pm when they are released so YAY...I am almost
