  1. Teachers wanting meds?

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to kaylee3's topic in School

    Don't do it! I really feel these adults in the building need to be more responsible. Just because there is a nurse in the building does it mean we provide free meds. I have had teachers argue with me...

  2. Weird Parents !

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in School

    This is not so much weird as annoying. I had a parent leave a message on my voice mail at 7:45 last night. They were really annoyed that I was not available and they had reached a voice mail. Hello,...

  3. My God, these family members!!

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Love your way of thinking! Actually, this is one (of many) reasons I left hospital nursing. It takes a lot of sweat and high level of critical thinking skills to even make it through nursing school....

  4. Complaint of the day

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Let's all get together and write a book about school nursing.......better yet - how about we make it into a sitcom? I had a 7th grader bite his girlfriend on the arm while they were in the library....

  5. Illinois School Nurses...I need your help!!!

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to cowgirlBSN's topic in School

    I agree with bergren. Do not have the meeting without the psychologist. He / she is crucial in this process. Also, remember- you are crucial too because you are the health expert in the building. Be...

  6. What do you guys do for...........

    SchoolNurseBSN posted a topic in School

    Cold sores, chapped lips, etc. It seems like I spend so much time seeing these kids. All I really have to offer them is vaseline. I hate to not help any student that needs it. However, do they really...

  7. Illinois School Nurses...I need your help!!!

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to cowgirlBSN's topic in School

    I would bring as much documentation as possible to the 504 meeting. Do your research - have an evidence based care plan ready for review. Show her why sitting in his urine causes skin breakdown...

  10. What do you guys do for...........

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to SchoolNurseBSN's topic in School

    Thanks all. I really like the idea of them coming on their own time. This way - I am taking care of their needs but they are not missing instruction

  11. School Nurses cover more than one school?

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to MommyandRN's topic in School

    Next year - I will be helping the nurse at the high school 1-2 days a week because our enrollment (at the middle school) is down to 550. At least I will not have 2 schools I am completely responsible...

  12. Illinois School Nurses...I need your help!!!

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to cowgirlBSN's topic in School

    You need to find a way for this student to be comfortable to come forward. Maybe a hand signal to the teacher or a password. He may even need some sort of positive reinforcement - 5 minutes computer...

  13. I could cry....

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    Last year, I had a student deliver 2 weeks before her 13th birthday. When that baby was 7 months old - she was pregnant again. Parents thought it was cute!

  14. Did you become a school nurse because you were burnt out from floor nursing?

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in School

    Wow Purple Scrubs - when I read your post, I thought it was a post I made and forgot about!!! I sort of got burned out on floor nursing before I finished nursing school. I was going to try for a year...

  15. a mix of rants and question

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in School

    Always err on the side of caution. Do not do anything else until you know your policies and procedure and above ALL else your State Nurse Practice Act. Good

  16. Job Security

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to missfixit's topic in School

    Because of changes in funding and budget cuts - there have been some talk about nurses being on the line. I am a large urban district. God be with them if they cut a bunch of us is all I have to say!!...

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to OncallRN's topic in School

    I think your experience in home health will be very beneficial even if it was with adults and not kids. You are used to working on your own out of the hospital setting. There are no hard and fast...

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    This is a sore topic with me.... I received an e-mail from my district a month or so ago. Of course - it was meant for teachers - about how you are entitled to a 30 minute lunch that does not include...
