   I transferred to a new school within my district. I'm much busier but I have another nurse here! It's wonderful having a colleague and we work well as a team. Quick question as we here try to fight...

2. Kindergarten bathroom accidents were handled in their individual classroom bathrooms?

   Cattitude replied to halohg's topic in School

   Pee is a PEEve of mine. Why on earth they send these soaked kids to us when our district policy is that it's NOT a medical issue is beyond me. I will not assist in changing clothes but will call...

   Cattitude replied to CanIcallmymom's topic in School

   Cattitude replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

8. What to do for Itchy Students

   Cattitude replied to sydcarverrn's topic in School

   My pockets are empty but I'd either buy a generic bottle of caladryl or send out an email asking for all staff to please chip in a quarter each. Who could say no to that? The teachers don't want itchy...

9. I don;t pull teeth

   Cattitude replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

   Nope. Really they don't need to come to me at all with a tooth out either. But the teachers always send them, I give out a little baggie that looks like a drug bag. I write "tooth" on it so no angry...

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in School

    Thank you all. Decision made and I will have documentation covering my absence. I have some issues with a guilt complex so needed to run it by "normal" nurses

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in School

    Thank you! Yes other staff does it all the time. But because there is only ONE nurse it's somehow a huge deal. GMAB We are short on nurses throughout the district. NOT my problem. I do the best I...

    Super secret poll here LOL Hypothetically, if you're district was taking ONE day from your Spring vacation so instead of 10 days off, you get 2 days off, 1 day on then 7 off. Many kids will be absent...
