    Thinking about volunteering at camp for a week- terrified

    luvschoolnursing replied to blondy2061h's topic in Camp

    I love my time I spend as a camp nurse! As a school nurse, I have the luxury of summers off, so I usually volunteer at our church camp a couple weeks per summer. Haven't had any true emergencies, sent...

    Oh, Sorry, I thought you misplaced your post. I don't really have any advice, though. I still think 40 minutes is a LONG time. Hope it works

    luvschoolnursing replied to jorla9903's topic in School

    Fourty minutes! Wow that's long! Jorla, you put this in the school nurse section. You might want to move it to the student nurse or general nursing section to get more responses. Good

    Too Smart for Rehab Nursing

    luvschoolnursing replied to Lola77's topic in Rehabilitation

    Do some kids ever just IRK you ?

    luvschoolnursing replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in School

    I have 1,000 kids in my school. I don't think it is possible to like 1,000 randomly selected people!!:chuckle At least we don't have to live with them or see them over the summer. And we can be glad...

    OOPS

    luvschoolnursing replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in School

    We are lost in an educational wilderness. I will say I do have a good relationship with nearly all my teachers, but they really don't understand what we do. It's not like you were trying to do routine...

    OOPS

    luvschoolnursing replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in School

    Our standardized tests are this week, too. That time is sacred. I suppose I will never entirely understand it. I made it a point to meet with all the teachers of my diabetic students BEFORE testing...

    Lunch for the School Nurse

    luvschoolnursing replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I take my lunch nearly every day. I leave and lock my office and the main office is pretty good about only calling me if it is serious. Of course some days I don't get lunch because of a serious...

    Starting tomorrow I'll be working mostly 4 days a week!

    luvschoolnursing replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in School

    Good luck nursing student-did you say this is your last LPN semester? Hope it goes well. Your kids will be fine. I know how you feel, though. We get a sense of ownership, they become "our" kids, don't...

    Nurses STOP telling me to be a RN ! PLEASE

    luvschoolnursing replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone has to do it the way that works best for them. I admire the fact that you are willing to work towards your goals and be responsible for yourself. The same qualities that are causing you to...

    What is your BIGGEST pet peve about school nursing ?

    luvschoolnursing replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Nursingstudent19, I don't know the kid you're talking about, so you know the situation better than I. but I did have a kid who came down very late in the day all the time wanting to go home. I found...

    luvschoolnursing replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    Uh, HELLO...it's athletics. So very much more important than health care. (please hear my extreme sarcasm) And that is why none of MY tape or elastic bandages go on sports injuries, they get sent...

    luvschoolnursing replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    I have it and have a standing order for it. I only use it if a student specifically asks for it. I rarely use it on myself or my kids. I figure if you clean it well, your body will do the

    Nurse against Nurse false accusation

    luvschoolnursing replied to guest83140's topic in School

    We have a policy that students are not allowed to use cell phones during school hours. Without consequences, policies are useless. I have determined kids to be fit to go back to class, they walk out...

    luvschoolnursing replied to guest83140's topic in School

    Like everyone said above DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. I know it's hard to deal with administration who will do anything to pacify parents. If admin doesn't give in to our parents, they go to the school board...

    Yikes Lice!!!!!(PARENTS)

    luvschoolnursing replied to raidermom's topic in School

    I really don't think this is practical or beneficial for the teachers to be checking every Friday. I can't believe the parents are tolerating this. I understand that we do what the principal tells us...

    luvschoolnursing replied to raidermom's topic in School

    I think EVERYONE has the same type of problem. Nothing seems to cause panic like lice. The school could be infected with the Plague and no one would care, but let one louse loose and look out! One of...
