    SchoolNurseBSN replied to cowgirlBSN's topic in School

    I know it is hard - but we are in a position that if we don't speak up and let teachers know what are role is..........we will be taken advantage

  2. What to do with Freq flyers?

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to cowgirlBSN's topic in School

    1. Call their parent every blessed time they walk in the door - this gets real annoying to the parent after a while and they threaten the kid with their life "do not go to that nurse again or...

  3. Just a vent

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Oh....I am loving this. I can so sympathize. I love working with the kids. But the staff drives me crazy!!! My clinic is connected to the front office so they use it as an entrance/exit and give kids...

  4. Activities in the clinic

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    If they are able to do activities - they need to be in class!!! I will only have students do homework if they are waitng to be picked up for something like pink eye or scabies. I had a student who...

  5. Feeling guilty b/c I thought she was okay

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to kidsnurse1969's topic in School

    No offense - but do you work with middle schoolers day in and day out? If you are too nice - they will eat you with a spoon and spit you out!! If I sent home every little tummyache and small injury -...

  6. No Insulin Orders

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to joy09's topic in School

    You just can't do it! I would help mom find resources. In the meantime - until you have a Dr. order - tell her that she will have to administer it. Document, document, document on this

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to luvtobote's topic in School

    Well as you know - in nursing you can never truly schedule breaks. You sort of have to go with the flow. I try to eat lunch early - around 11:00. Otherwise, I will probably not eat at all. I close my...

  8. Frustration is mounting

    SchoolNurseBSN posted a topic in School

    I am at an urban middle school of 1100 students. I am the only nurse - no assistant. The last two weeks have tried my patience. The parents are so uninvolved - it is scary ! I feel as if what I do is...

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to sChOOLRN48's topic in School

    It is worth it for the eyeglass / exam vouchers

  10. Why do you send a student home?

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to whiskeygirl's topic in School

    I agree with the hard nose bit. I have 6-8 graders and we have a bad truancy problem. You better be really sick to get a pass home for me. And. after 2:00 (school gets out at 3:30) you are only going...

  11. Frustrated !!

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    :) you and I would get along great!!! My advice to the original poster is.... just put your foot down and say NO! I am tired of staff thinking that the nurse's office is wal-mart. Give me a

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to lilia123's topic in School

    I have gotten into a habit of not only taking temps on everybody who walks in the door - but also getting a blood pressure. I am in an urban middle school of about 1100 - lots of drug abuse, obesity,...

  14. End of year Burn Out !

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Yes, Yes, Yes!!! Summer vacation is not for students - it is for the mental health of the staff!! I have been trying so hard not to bite everyone's head

  15. What's The Record?

    SchoolNurseBSN replied to joy09's topic in School

    I am at a middle school of 1100 students and me. I usually see 25-40 kids daily. However, a lot are on drugs, pregnant, victims of abuse, medically neglected (high needs). I believe I would see 90/...
