    Frustrated to no end.....

    luvschoolnursing replied to LACA's topic in School

    As far as I know, CPS will not investigate this. Our county health dept. considers it a nuisance, not a health concern. We have had parents call the health department to report us (the school nurses)...

    Salary info help needed

    luvschoolnursing replied to WondeR.N.'s topic in School

    It's really hard for us to give advice for a position like that. They could be offering anything from $10/hr up to a really nice salary. Unless someone from here is familiar with where you are...

    why do doctors order more vitamin d tests than anything?

    luvschoolnursing replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    My doctor said she is ordering it on everyone now. I live in the Pittsburgh area and we are lacking sunshine most of the year. Mine was low, so I am taking supplements. I did some reading about it and...

    Spring Break

    luvschoolnursing replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    NO spring break for us. We got our break when we were snowed in for a week! Now it's all make up days. Not complaining, though. At least we didn't lose our power like lots of our

    Student wants to go home...

    luvschoolnursing replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    What would you have done?

    luvschoolnursing replied to LACA's topic in School

    Every time a parent c/o my judgment, I get worried. I posted here once about a situation parents were upset with and everyone agreed I did the right thing. You did the right thing, too. There are...

    Speaking of Head Lice...

    luvschoolnursing replied to DistrictNurse19's topic in School

    All schools get lice. One way to handle it if you don't want to send home a letter when a child has lice is to send home information at the beginning of the year. "Now that we are back in school you...

    Drug testing students

    Drug testing students

    luvschoolnursing replied to Wishinonastar's topic in School

    If you do drug testing, what do you do with the results? Do you search the student? Notify police? Notify parents? Suspend the student? What criteria would you need to conduct a test? Would you need...

    How Do You Stay Healthy Working in the Health office?

    luvschoolnursing replied to Ash_Rox87CMA's topic in School

    First year I was sick, sick, sick. Pink eye, several colds, pneumonia. It just went on and on. Now-I never get sick. Haven't taken a sick day in the past 2 years. Not sure what to tell you except once...

    RN babysiting gig gone south

    luvschoolnursing replied to RNnbakes's topic in General Nursing

    I would also have never trusted that the 15 year old would have been home in a reasonable amount of time. 15yo kids can often "forget" to come home to watch their younger

    Nursey things that you'll NEVER say again.

    luvschoolnursing replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am much more sympathetic with panic attacks since having them myself. I would never tell a patient to "relax" or that "nothing is wrong-you are fine" You can't relax and you're not

    Scheduled to work called out due to snow--can I be fired?

    luvschoolnursing replied to Wsmith16's topic in General Nursing

    I assume you are in the mid-atlantic area like Pennsylvania or Maryland. The snow we have experienced here the past few days is extraordinary. We have been declared as a "state of emergency" and many...

    School breakfast

    luvschoolnursing replied to bergren's topic in School

    I still have to campaign for personal responsibility, especially at the high school level. If you go hungry a couple of days, you should be able to figure out that you need to eat breakfast or pack a...

    Thank You. For Everything.

    You sound like a great young lady/man. As a high school nurse, I deal with much lack of appreciation, but it's kids like you that make it worth

    School breakfast

    luvschoolnursing replied to bergren's topic in School

    I guess you are much more sympathetic than I am. I just think by the time you are 16-18 years old, you should throw your own granola bar in your backpack if you're running late. I do understand what...

    School breakfast

    luvschoolnursing replied to bergren's topic in School

    Martha, I'm the one who posted that. We do have a school breakfast program. It's a pretty good one, too. I'm talking about kids who get up late, drive to school in their cars that are nicer than mine,...

    #21. If the kid is sleeping in your class do not sent them to me to lay down for the rest of the class period. They view this as a reward. #22. You are in high school. I know you have food at home....
