  1. School nurse VS school secretary

    Not quite understanding the language of your contract and the normal for your school, I will say this is similar to my situation and it is normal (not the not very nice secretary part). I have...
  2. Since we are all talking about secretaries

    All my secretaries are great. I work with 6 total and they are all great! They are invaluable and I have been doing this long enough to understand how important they are. I try not to rock that boat....
  3. DM1 in Elementary Setting - Dealing with Parents

    I think you just keep doing what you are doing and educating and encouraging healthy options, but really your hands are tied. Folks are going to do what they wanna do. Reach out to the diabetic...

  6. Need Advice Plz Help!

    Wow. Real supportive. Let us know how it goes. The meeting is definitely the first step. What about your districts policies/guidelines. Can you take it from that
  7. Type 2 DM that parents refuse to treat

    You do not need a confirmed diagnosis to consider a student for a 504 plan. I am curious as what accommodations are being requested? Perhaps they are managing type 2 with
  8. Don't jump on me! But i'm bored already

    Sounds like you have a plan! Not all schools are like that. It really depends on the population/needs and nurse involvement. Anywho, congrats on the baby! Enjoy! Let me us which direction you end up...
  9. Immunization Compliance

    Is your school conducting exclusions? Have your admin get involved. I ask my principals to call if I have done all I can do. Sometimes they have better
  10. Don't jump on me! But i'm bored already

    Evaluate what you thought school nursing was like. It is not hospital pace. Look at your population that will play into your day. Look at NASN website, look into your charting system, child find,...

  13. All in good fun?

    I would be slightly annoyed but it is humorous at the same time. I used to care more about what people "thought" school nursing was but now I just don't care. This is my 5th year and it took me...
  14. Who is still hanging around??

    We had 12 snow days this year. Staff is suppose to be here until the 27th. However, that is not happening for me. I am out on the 22nd, plus I only work 3 days a week. I have 8 work days left over the...

    My word! I used to love those as a kid. I would never eat those as an adult...lol. There is another one called potted meat. Its like those sausage things all grounded
  16. Licegate 2017

    I have had a lice free "scare" so far this year (knocking on wood)! One year my PTA volunteered its board members time so that we could conduct classroom checks on all the 3rd grade students....
  17. Jumping on the 911 bandwagon...

    Is there a safety plan in place? Maybe there was a meeting before re-entry that you were not invited to. One of the many annoyances I have with being a nurse in a school...collaboration is an
  18. handling a willful child

    I had an diabetic update training at my children's hospital this past year. Doctors definitely encouraged nurses to reach out to parents as they will have a better understanding of the child and my...

    This is our setup at one of my campuses. We have a 4 drawer filing cabinet and my assistant has them bagged and labeled individually. At my other campus we have a medication
  20. Good Kids

    Love this thread! I have a 3-12 grade school/academy. The kids only attend classes 4 days a week and they have expected to complete a lot of work at home. I have students come down with all the...
  21. Question?

    I am not required to help a staff member but I have taken a BP or helped with dressing if they were not able to due to location. All injuries that need WC go through someone else. I don't deal with...

  23. 1st day questions

    I work at a 3-12 grade school and at a 9-12 grade school. My 3-12 (600 kids) grade school no one naps. The kids are highly capable and don't want to miss any time in class. They don't even like to go...
  24. New Middle School Nurse!

    Im a lurker but wanted to say
  25. Would love some advice!

    It is so worth it to me. I was not happy doing bedside and I am happy now! WORTH IT! I took a huge pay cut as well but it was definitely worth having the time with my kids and a set schedule. I am...
