    CPS Calls

    SnowyJ replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    "Any calls to CPS are confidential." Not the parent's business to know who called. BUT I have to say, I did once cop to it with a parent. Their furnace was busted, along with a number of other issues...

    When to send home for "Flu Symptoms"

    SnowyJ replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    My mantra. The kids want me to bypass a parent who is well aware that the child has a runny/stuffy nose, sore throat, etc. Should have stayed home, but not sick enough to warrant being sent home....

    SnowyJ replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Noooooo...Just wrong. Diabetics should not be having regular concentrated sweets carb count or no. Sure, on a special occasion, but this is ridiculous! Not to mention it isn't healthy for anyone else...

    Yes, I am aware I am a mandated reporter. I used to have CPS on speed dial when i worked home care with at risk youth. I have no problem calling. Just tired of the push back and lack of support with...

    SnowyJ replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    Oh, trust me..I have hotlined before against the wishes of the Principal. I wish he had more of a backbone with these things. But he knows I don't need his "ok." I will update soon. I couldn't even...

    Update: We had a (someone tense) meeting this AM The principal has an issue with reporting since the child did not come to an adult with the information, but another child. My point was that the child...

    SnowyJ replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    Thank you. OK, I just talked to the teacher and asked if we can meet in the AM (with Principla and Counselor) to be sure there is appropriate follow through. Far, I believe I will be doing what you...

    How far does confidentiality go?

    SnowyJ replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    Wow...That is one Academy Award winning performance! I wouldn't worry too much about letting her class know she is ok. maybe the teacher can assist in delivering that info so that the minions won't...

    Lice Check

    SnowyJ replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    This is EXACTLY why I feel being expected to check whole classrooms is silly. The amount of time I would need to fully check each student would result in way too much time away from my normal (busy)...

    want to make the transition from hospital to school nurse

    SnowyJ replied to garcherry725's topic in School

    I agree! Keep your eye out for school nurse postings. Do you work full time? If not, try subbing as a school nurse to get your foot in the door, as BethG73 said. I worked in Women and Children's...

    Adderall tabs question

    SnowyJ replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Because it can be a little bitter when crushed, I had my student decide what kid yogurt he liked and we used that. He took the med like a champ. I checked both online and with a pharmacist I know...

    Book For Boys

    SnowyJ posted a topic in School

    I would love some recommendations on a good "puberty" book for 8-9 year old boys that is not too heavy on the sex info. I've had two parents ask me in the past week, and the book I usually suggest is...

    School nurse education minimum in New York?

    SnowyJ replied to peanutbaby123's topic in School

    Yes, they can keep the pay low because these jobs are so in demand. (Great job if you are a parent.) No BSN required in my district. The pay scale is the same with or without
