  1. Help with a nursing diagnosis?

    Most nursing programs are weak in their teaching of normal and abnormal physiology of the newborn, so I'm going to help you out a little. In older children and adults, elevated bilirubin levels are...
  2. Any tips to help my student remember to carry inhaler?

    What kind of inhaler costs $100 a
  3. Any tips to help my student remember to carry inhaler?

    Do I understand correctly that this student has (finally) brought an inhaler to be kept at school, and you are concerned that she is traveling back and forth to school without her second inhaler on...
  4. Brandon, The standard for determining employer responsibility for paying initial unemployment benefits is not whether the employee was able to "control" his/her absences. It is whether the employer...
  5. Obamacare

    Why the semantics lesson? You realize that Obama himself expressed approval of the term, "Obamacare" during the presidential debates. He stated that he likes it because it shows that he
  6. Please excuse my skepticism, but I agree with Fiona59. This sounds more like a homework question than an emergency action plan or 504 plan that would be written in the school setting. I have never...
  7. Question about R.n license

    There is no such thing as transfering a license from one state to another. Once you become licensed in any state in the U.S., you are eligible for a process called endorsement, which allows you to...
  8. Postural Physical Therapy

    Visit to the spinal specialist this week. 3 protruding discs on MRI, one of which is pressing on a nerve root, causing leg and foot pain. She had an injection of steriods, which we hope will help...
  9. Postural Physical Therapy

    My family has had our share of injuries requiring PT, and I've always had the greatest respect for physical therapists in terms of their knowledge, skill and ability to produce positive results. We...
  10. school nurse advice?????

    If you are not a nurse, then your position is not that of a school nurse, but probably a health aide. The terms, "nurse" and "school nurse" have specific meanings and are legally protected in many...
  11. School selection

    Just my opinion as a working mom: 70 miles is too far to commute for any purpose. Not for work. Not for school. I know too many people who have fallen asleep at the wheel and suffered serious...
  12. Unreasonable offer

    Joni's Mom, I'm sure your proposed schedule is well-thought-out, but I believe that you are missing the bigger point. Your employer is not concerned with scheduling arrangements for any particular...
  13. Unreasonable offer

    It sounds as though your supervisor was trying to find a way, (imperfect as it may be) to NOT have to lay one of you off. If the offer is unsatisfactory to you, please be prepared to look for a new...
  14. New Grad want to quit after 6 months

    How do you plan to pay your bills, including your existing student loans and your upcoming school
  15. underweight kid

    Flare's response is accurate for my state as well. Public health regulations require school screenings of height, weight, BMI, vision, hearing, dental and scoliosis at prescribed intervals with...
  16. Postural Physical Therapy

    Sigh...went back to the doctor and basically got a scolding for not being open-minded and appreciating a whole-body approach. May now be time to find a new PCP as
  17. Aspiring Pediatric RN NEEDS ADVICE

    Is there a reason that your daughter is "wedded" to earning a Bachelor's Degree at this institution? If I understand correctly, she is now a sophomore. That means 2-1/2 more years of effort and...
  18. Question about pink eye

    I suppose it might be possible for someone to have an eye infection without obvious redness, for example someone with immune suppression who is unable to mount an inflammatory response. If I...

    You might want to post this in the NICU forum (under ICU). Good luck and enjoy your
  20. Asthma issues and sending kids home....

    Had something like this happen once. A parent finally picked the child up, but stated he was going to bring her back after lunch. The principal backed me up stating that the child would not be...
  21. 2022 Resume

    The professional objective you've written appears to b a description of the "future you." What a professional objective should be is a description of the position you are seeking. For example,...
  22. Nurse parapros

    I don't understand your question. It is my understanding that the term "paraprofessional" refers to an unlicensed assistant, who by definition, would not be a nurse. So a paraprofessional would most...
  23. Homeopathic Meds at School

    I can't speak for California, but here in NE, for the purposes of school health (physicals, medical exemptions from vaccines and medication authorizations) the signature must come from an MD, DO, PA-C...
  24. Nasty Parents and This Opportunity to Vent

    We need to base our policies, procedures and practices on public health principles that are supported by current research and scientific knowledge. Research shows that lice are not readily...
  25. Potty training at school

    bleemadden, I read your post and had to respond. You could be describing my oldest daughter. When she was pre-school age, she was absolutely terrified of auto-flush toilets and hand dryers. She was...
