    Just need to vent for a minute...

    OP, here you are trying to keep these kids safe and healthy...and you get grief from the parents. It isn't the nurses who are making the relationships hostile. Have a peaceful Friday and

    Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

    CalNevaMimi replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    Random Thoughts: School Nurses

    CalNevaMimi replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    It happened about 10 days ago. It's very hard to explain to someone who isn't a nurse what it means to be booted out of your specialty. 70% of my career has been with special needs & medically...

    Random Thoughts: School Nurses

    CalNevaMimi replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Due to there being no emergency meds to legally keep me at my school site, I got bumped to help out somewhere else. How nice of my district to make the decision to MOVE ME from my coveted and...

    Lockdown!

    CalNevaMimi replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Glad everything is okay! Several years ago my daughter's high school had a "come pick up your kid" post-lockdown. I would have been more nervous to find her, but in a school of 1500 she was the only...

    Should I give up scrubs?

    CalNevaMimi replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    Happy medium here. I simply cannot stand scrub pants because they do not make flattering scrub pants for someone as wide as she is tall (exaggerating, but I'm a smidge under 5'4" and size XL). So here...

    The Vomit Thread

    CalNevaMimi replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I wish I knew who to credit for this vomit tip. Worked great with elementary but is also working great here at the middle school. Feeling like you're gonna barf, you say? Here, drink this big 'ole cup...

    Woo hoo! Got myself some peace at the end of the day!

    CalNevaMimi replied to 100kids's topic in School

    At my middle school, I have 'em coming in up until the last 1/2 hour of the day, usually for dumb things like ice for non-urgent issues. I've been grunting and pointing to the

    Depressed LVN

    CalNevaMimi replied to nursesmith86's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just checked EdJoin.org and there are open positions for school site LVNs. I work in a beautiful area of CA and we use EdJoin to advertise when we need an LVN. Hardly anyone applies. Seriously. I...

    Taking a lunch break

    CalNevaMimi replied to thelittlenurs's topic in School

    I work a great portion of my day with special needs kids. Those aides are adamant about getting every single minute of break time. Taking a lunch break is working out great for me this year. I grab my...

    Creative Faker Excuses

    CalNevaMimi posted a topic in School

    I know you've got 'em. Let's hear 'em! Yesterday a middle school boy came in here with the elaborate story about how he is on death's door. Apparently, he had a sore throat for 2 days. No fever. Then,...

    It's August!! Who is going back soon??

    CalNevaMimi replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    The worst is wishy-washy administrators who don't seem to understand the "excluded after 10 days" rule.

    I'm in your boat, but I have also worked at a high school. Middle school is going great so far and I'm really happy here. I've got one good trick with the hall passes for the students to get from my...
