2. Tummy Ache ideas??!?!?

   SchoolNurseBSN replied to blackscrubs's topic in School

   I always do a medical referral after 3-4 visits for the same complaint. I also speak with the teacher and get the counselor involved. I agree that many of these kids do have psychosocial problems and...

3. Communication PLEASSEEE!

   My biggest fear is that i will have to call 911 on a kid and I will not even know his name. I have had nightmares about

   SchoolNurseBSN posted a topic in School

   Sorry! This is a plain ole VENT! I had a Pre K kid come down with no note, no pass, nada! Can't tell me his name, his teacher's name.....just looks at me and holds up a long gauze dressing. I look and...

5. Am i burned out?

   SchoolNurseBSN posted a topic in School

   Is it me or are children today getting whinier and whinier? I am just astounded at the missed class time for paper cuts and tiny drops of spilled white milk on a white shirt! Kids get upset when I...

6. New job, really need advice:)

   SchoolNurseBSN replied to beccanurse's topic in School

   Just my 2 cents. When I am in the middle of a "school nurse dilemma" I ask myself this question - How would i handle this situation if I still worked on the floor of a hospital. That being said. If i...

7. New School Year Resolutions

   SchoolNurseBSN replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

   Purple Scrubs - stealing this one from you, it's a good one! - 1. Try to be less jaded with the frequent fliers and assume that there really is something bothering them, be it physical, emotional, or...

8. New job, really need advice:)

   SchoolNurseBSN replied to beccanurse's topic in School

   Sounds like they want a 2 for 1 special to save money! Nurse to 800 kids IS a full time job. 6 diabetics ALONE will take up a lot of your time. Do you have an aide trained to cover for you in the...

9. How do you respectfully tell a teacher ENOUGH ALREADY!

   SchoolNurseBSN replied to tictac's topic in School

   I definately agree, I always talk to the teacher first. At the beginning of the year, I give all of my teachers a list of what is appropriate to send to the clinic and what is not. Attached is a...

11. My district has gone from 14 nurses to 3.5 in 5 years

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to geocachingRN's topic in School

    The phrase that frightens me most is "and the job description hasn't changed in that time." It is IMPOSSIBLE for 1 nurse to do the same work as 14. Why don't we go ahead and have just 1 math teacher...

12. Scabies? Letter to all students or not?

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to lissaq10's topic in School

    Ditto. 2-3 cases is not an OUTBREAK in my book. Sending letters home tends to throw everyone in panic mode, which is just

13. Training non-nurses for shot records

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    I would just hate to hear the backlash of trying to bring students up to compliance. "But that other 'nurse' said everything was fine." I just feel that the more we delegate to non-medical staff, the...

14. New to board and seeking guidance

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to Xatiayn's topic in School

    The daycare is a separate entity from you, your school district, and the teacher. I believe any health communication and planning for this student should be between the day care facility and the...
