    Pointers Wanted! Help with frequent flyers!

    SnowyJ replied to Massmagic's topic in School

    If a student comes down to see me more than once in a day, I call a parent. More often than not, the parent is surprised to hear their child is c/o not feeling well. Sometimes there is a legit reason...

    Things that want to make you slap people

    SnowyJ replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    When teachers send kids to me to sit when a parent doesn't want them doing outside recess. Usually because that child has been ill recently. Awesome idea...Expose the child to even more illness!...

    SnowyJ posted a topic in School

    Ugh. We have had issues with head lice since school began! The problem is more with the children I DON'T know about. I can't check all 604 students in the school, I'd go blind. I send home an...

    School nurses and other RNs not supportive of decision to send their child home

    SnowyJ replied to rollernurse365's topic in School

    While I understand it can be a hardship to miss work, your child should ALWAYS be the #1 priority. Have a backup plan..A friend, neighbor, family member if need be. Children get sick and sometimes...

    School nurses and other RNs not supportive of decision to send their child home

    SnowyJ replied to rollernurse365's topic in School

    I will never understand how parents can be this way. It's ridiculous. I've had students with a fever, and the parents claim they were "fine" after they got home. Sorry, I don't buy it. Your child came...

    SnowyJ replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    What NON Nursing jobs are you "expected" to do?

    SnowyJ replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Ok, I have to ask this. I am often sent students who can't snap/button/zip their pants. Today it was a belt. teachers seem fearful of touching a student. It just seems strange to me that they think I...

    What NON Nursing jobs are you "expected" to do?

    SnowyJ replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I had a teacher get mad at me recently for not agreeing to give a student a shower/clean clothes. (We have a shower near the gym. Can you imagine the implications within?) He wasn't even that dirty....

    SnowyJ replied to kidzcare's topic in School
