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 they last had a BM and then send them to the bathr...

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 DD will be a camper that same week and it would b...

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 found live, adult bed bugs on her body and in her shoe...

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 getting the school to be willing to move you down ...

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 above poster described is Nurse Leader who supervis...

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 districts.

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 mandate masks for students, though individual school dis...

If you go to Youtube I can see several on there ?

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 until I enter the building. I also no longer check...

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 correctly with another nurse and nurse leader as a wit...

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 role is not clinical, the person in the role is a tot...

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. Seriously.

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 woke up like that. That + line appeared almost i...

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 after antibiotics. This is definitely a new tren...

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 difficult to translate. I have found a couple things on...

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 resource to translate immunizations from Brazil in...

Do you have a link? Scoured that website and can't find it. Thanks.

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 place as I did totally unbeknownst to either of us un...

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

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 parents, chasing people down for civid results, con...

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 booster so hopefully won't be too bad. I have ha...

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 else to do to increase participation. We have sen...

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 school and do not even bother to read it. We als...
