    Eraser Games FYI

    Spidey's mom posted a topic in School

    Hi School Nurses. Just read about this is our local news. I'd never heard of it but it seems pretty typical of teens/pre-teens. Chico teen hospitalized after 'Eraser Challenge' game | Action News...

    A coworker made me so mad!

    Spidey's mom replied to typoagain's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Before I read the comments, I was sympathetic to the OP's plea. To me it sounded like she was working to get the patient to trust her by starting with small steps. Sometimes when you gain the...

    Spidey's mom replied to Spidey's mom's topic in School

    I'd never heard of it. Wow. I was in Junior High/High School in the early 70's. We did that passing out game where you would hyperventilate and then someone would come up behind you and grab you...

    "Will You Call This Parent?"

    Spidey's mom replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    How funny - this happened last week for me. One 4th grade kid has had problems with wiping after BM in the school bathrooms and sometimes leaves a mess. I did end up talking to him about how to...

    NorCalMimi - I'm in Northern CA too. My last Friday will be in a couple of weeks. Just staying with my hospice job. Looking forward to that. Did a bunch of H&V's today. Had a kid who was...

    GA Teen Contracted HIV from a hair weave? Really?!?!

    Spidey's mom replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'll have to take protection tomorrow when I get my flu shot. Shoot - my best friend just left to get hers and I don't have time to warn

    Incidental sexism

    Spidey's mom replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I'm in Mayberry too and love it. 99.9% of the teachers are female though so many moms are working. I'd rather one parent or the other stayed home with them until Kindergarten but that's pie in the...

    Insulin administration

    Spidey's mom replied to T-Bird78's topic in School

    Me either. I'm in a quandary right now because my last day as the school nurse is coming up, they have not found a replacement (they've know for 1.5 years), and they want me to train the aide who has...

    Food Allergies on the Rise

    Spidey's mom replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in School

    Timely question - had two anaphylactic reactions in kids who have no diagnosis of allergies yesterday. California passed a law last September that all school districts must have stock epi-pens. The...

    Vision/Hearing Screenings

    Spidey's mom replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    Wow, I'm jealous! You guys have help with H&V screenings?? My real office is at the D.O. and that's where I do paperwork. I don't have a "clinic". The school secretaries are basically the...

    Letter home for our frequent visitors?

    Spidey's mom replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    I crashed a parent/teacher conference today to follow up on the kiddo who pees and drinks a lot all day. He leaves the classroom 4-5 times a morning to pee and is always very thirsty. Has Native...

    Letter home for our frequent visitors?

    Spidey's mom replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    I agree with phoning the parent. Who knows if a note home will even get to the parent? I have enough trouble getting parents to return medical

    First year as a school nurse....feeling disrespected as the only nurse in the building.

    Spidey's mom replied to Skips's topic in School

    Yes, that is very common. The nurse I replaced warned me about that. In my district, I'm the only medical person in a sea of educational

    Spidey's mom replied to Annaleemabey's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    My old high school boyfriend has never tried to contact me via FB - notice I only had one. Sort of a socially inept wallflower in high school. You sound like my best friend who is a teacher. She...

    Annoyed -just a vent

    Spidey's mom replied to Flare's topic in School

    Oh yeah, I'll be around. I love this forum and the advice - plus I still have a kid in school. Spidey's an 8th grader. My concern is if I leave on Nov 1 and there is no new school nurse hired yet,...

    Who can give an Epi-Pen in a school setting?

    Spidey's mom replied to clockwood's topic in School

    There is a great school nurse forum here - I'll ask a mod to move your question there. I'm in California as well. CSNO has a wonderful training package for this epi-pen legislation and I'd advise...

    Spidey's mom replied to Flare's topic in School

    I feel your pain. We are chasing a few of those kinds of parents too. I can't get anyone to return the Action Plans (with signature) and some of the medication paperwork isn't signed by the doc....
