  1. A late hello comrades and salary question!

    Cattitude posted a topic in School

    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 OldDude's topic in School

  4. Do You Remember...

    Cattitude replied to Feral.Cat.Herder's topic in School

    Fellow Grinch here. Seriously, I tell my older kids that I'm not trying to be mean but that paper cut they have is NOT the end of the world. I tell them they are preparing for middle school so need to...

  5. "Heating Pads"

    Cattitude replied to CanIcallmymom's topic in School

  7. Annoyed and perhaps a little unsure

    Cattitude replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Good assessment and I'm glad it wasn't serious. Calling parents is a PITA for sure and I try to avoid it if possible. But for this I would have called for sure. I always imagine what the kid might say...

  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 posted a topic in School

    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...

    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

  12. WWYD?

    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...

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in School

    Thanks for sharing. It's almost impossible to enjoy the break with threats looming lol. They do take it seriously, kind of. I think I'll be ok. They don't fire people over it. We'll see. Those...

    Cattitude replied to tining's topic in School

    I know it's rare but we have a significant outbreak within a 40 mile radius. I have had 4 boosters, and not immune to measles. My Dr. won't give me another booster. So I will remain unprotected...

    Cattitude replied to guest464345's topic in School
