  1. What do you do with your "Stomachache" kids?

    MHDNURSE posted a topic in School

    Just curious. I HATE that complaint with a passion and of course, it is the most frequent one. My kids are all K or 1 so usually not trying to get out of class. I always take a temp, ask them when...

  2. Camp Woodward in PA

    MHDNURSE posted a topic in Camp

    Anyone work there recently? I have applied for this coming Summer and would love to know what a typical day is like. They said 6 days on and 1 off. I am only working one week if I get the job as my...

  3. Bed Bugs- parents don't think it's a big deal

    MHDNURSE posted a topic in School

    Anyone deal with this issue before? I know there have been posts about recurring lice infestations, but this is a whole new level of non compliance. Since September we have had a student that we...

  4. School nurse interview

    MHDNURSE replied to futureRN09's topic in School

    If this is a public school district and the nurse salary is on the district pay scale, there is zero wiggle room. As the PP said, salaries are budgeted a year in advance. The wiggle room comes from...

  5. District School Nurse

    MHDNURSE replied to carebear01's topic in School

    I am not clear if you mean District Lead Nurse/Nursing Supervisor, or you mean a school nurse that would cover an entire district and travel from school to school. They are very different. What the...

  6. School Nurse Sub

    MHDNURSE replied to Kristilg's topic in School

    Here is a pocket manual: https://www.amazon.com/Fast-Facts-School-Nurse-Third/dp/0826174140/ Definitely poke around on the internet- there is some good stuff out there from other school...

  7. Mask Mandate in MA Schools Ending on 3/1

    MHDNURSE posted a topic in School

    Curious for any of you who have recently dropped the mask mandate (or do not have one), how things are going? The governor announced yesterday that as of March 1, schools no longer need to...

  9. Where to Draw the Line...?

    MHDNURSE replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    I think it is all about the school culture and being clear about your boundaries. I have gotten MUCH better about shutting OFF my work cell the minute I step out the door and not turning it back on...

  10. Leftovers (meds, not food...)

    MHDNURSE replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    The local police station takes all of ours. They have specific rules- like pills need to be out of the bottles and all dumped into one plastic bag, etc. Each nurse made sure everything was done...

  12. Do you get any real and regular supervision?

    MHDNURSE replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    My supervisor is our District Lead Nurse. HER supervisor is a new position that was created this year and so far none of us can understand why this new person would supervise the Lead Nurse. The...

  13. SO. SICK. OF. MASK. ISSUES.

    MHDNURSE replied to k1p1ssk's topic in School

    Experiencing ALL the same stuff in my district. All of it. I am so tired of feeling like the mask police, especially with the adults in there building. Grow the F up and follow the rules....

  14. RAPID rapid test

    MHDNURSE replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    I had one like that a couple weeks ago. The kid was part of a positive pool so we grabbed all the kids to rapid them and figure out who was +. Kid comes down and is coughing and sniffling and says he...

  15. Returning After Starting Antibiotics

    MHDNURSE replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Interesting you posted this as we have always gone by the 24 hour rule (plus fever-free) and just a couple weeks ago my friend's daughter was Dx'd with strep and her MD wrote a note to return 12 hours...

  16. Portuguese Vaccine Record Translation

    MHDNURSE posted a topic in School

    Anyone here have a high population of Portuguese-speaking families and have a good document to translate their immunizations? We have a large Brazilian population and the records we get are so...

  17. Brazil Immunization Translation

    MHDNURSE posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    Hello, I also posted a similar thread in the School nurse forum since I am a school nurse, but thinking some public health/community nurses here might be able to help. I am looking for a...

  19. NCSN

    MHDNURSE replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    A bunch of us here in my district took it last March and a few over the Summer and we ALL thought the same thing and all of us passed! One of my colleagues ended up taking it at the same time and...

  20. Backorder of butterflies...

    MHDNURSE replied to Mary Wilson RNC-NIC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We always used a diaper with warm water and wrapped it around the foot- works

  21. Burnout or Overwhelmed?

    MHDNURSE replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I know for me I have days where I am totally fine and days where I think I am out of here, and it all depends on what is going on. It gets harder and harder when we are getting screamed at by angry...

  22. Anyone get their Booster yet?

    MHDNURSE posted a topic in School

    I'm scheduled for 11/3- the day before my bday- hopefully I do not feel crummy the next day. I was tired and had a headache after my first two but nothing terrible, and Moderna is a half dose for the...

  23. Increasing Pool Testing and TTS Participation

    MHDNURSE posted a topic in School

    Hi, I am being tasked with working on a "project" to increase our number of students across the district who are enrolled in our weekly pool testing and TTS program. I honestly do not know what...

  25. Increasing Pool Testing and TTS Participation

    MHDNURSE replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    It's so hard to know. As you can imagine, communication from schools has been beyond overwhelming and I think a lot of families are over it to be honest. Like they see yet another email or text from...
