    MHDNURSE posted a topic in School

    Help a colleague out please! I am starting my second school year at a small, inner-city charter school with only K and 1st grades. We have a new K student who just joined our school last Monday...

  3. Sometimes more teachers than kids come to see me

    MHDNURSE posted a topic in School

    Anyone else feel like sometimes the teachers are worse than the kids with their ailments? I have a couple "frequent fliers" who are teachers and come see me at least 2-3 times per week about stuff....

  4. Advice needed for Anxious Kindergartener making himself barf

    MHDNURSE replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    OP here. We have a guidance counselor and she has been with him the past 2 hours. He is 5 and just would rather be at home- nothing is going on, nothing has happened. We had a crier like this last...

  5. Com'on, you got one...What is your heart wrenching moment?

    MHDNURSE replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    I have two. The first was about 12 years ago. I was the nurse manager at a hospital-based out-patient peds clinic. It was a Friday morning and our walk-in hours were in full swing. A young teen...

  7. What do you wear to work as a school nurse?

    MHDNURSE replied to verdeacres's topic in School

    It depends on my mood. Our school is business casual M-W, then Th/Fr all staff wear jeans and a school t-shirt. Sometimes I wear scrubs if I don't feel like planning an outfit, other days I wear...

  8. Hearing and Vision Screenings

    MHDNURSE posted a topic in School

    Does anyone else find it redundant to be testing every student in the school for hearing and vision, even when they have had a screening at their own pediatrician's office recently? This is only my...

  9. LICE PSA.

    MHDNURSE replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Happy to know I am not the only one who thinks people blow lice WAY out of proportion. In our state (MA) we aren't allowed to send kids home for lice. I have parents calling me angry that a kid with...

  15. What "hats" do you wear at work?

    MHDNURSE posted a topic in School

    I am starting my second year as a school nurse in a small charter school that opened last Fall. We currently have 220 kids, all either K or First grade. Aside from my nursing duties, I set up for...

  18. Hearing and Vision Screenings

    MHDNURSE replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I wish we were somewhere in the middle, maybe if no screening within the last 12 months, but I guess that will never happen if we are screening them every year starting in

  19. Nursing Anxiety

    MHDNURSE replied to Seve's topic in General Nursing

    I have always loved pediatrics and went from managing a peds unit, to working as a camp nurse once I had kids and am now doing school nursing. The hours are great for me and I am able to work M-F and...

  20. To Master or Not

    MHDNURSE replied to guest83140's topic in School

    Honestly, I wouldn't. It's a HUGE expense that at $1000 more per year, realistically, you will never earn back what you paid to get the degree. I am a PNP and earned my MSN in 2001. I will be...

  23. New School Nurses

    MHDNURSE replied to VN2016's topic in School

    I am new as well. I started September of 2015 in a public charter school and still consider myself "new" as I am constantly learning. I was hired after school had already started and it was a new...
