  1. keeping records on staff members

    Eleven011 replied to NurseKitKat's topic in School

    Eleven011 replied to Julius Seizure's topic in School

    My district is one school, one nurse. If I'm sick, I normally medicate myself and power through If its too bad, I try to find my own sub. I have 3 on my list, but two of them have full time...

  3. Don't jump on me! But i'm bored already

    Eleven011 replied to mag426's topic in School

    Do you do health screenings on your students? I find doing those and then entering all the results take a big chunk of time. After those are all done, I start planning my classroom education...

    Eleven011 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Same! School picture day. We asked to wear blue, black or white. I would have stood out a bit too much for my liking if I were in

    Eleven011 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Eleven011 replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Eleven011 replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    We are not all free/reduced either, I'd guess half and half. We send out all kinds of notices to parents when money is low. If its under 0, the kids aren't allowed seconds or extras. But I've...

  13. YOUR Childhood School Nurse memories

    Eleven011 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

  14. Unemployment??? Summer???

    Eleven011 replied to Salemer's topic in School

    I don't know what the rules are in your state, but personally I don't believe we should qualify as we are not "unemployed", its just the work schedule of our job. I am paid hourly also, but my school...

    Eleven011 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Well with the bumping of this thread I had to go on a search to see what creatures would be entertaining me this year. And guess what??!! Hammy Jr. is living with the 2nd graders! He is a very...

  16. Ears and Throats!

    Eleven011 replied to River Song, RN's topic in School

    I look in every sore throat and every earache. If I didn't, I can just hear it now - "I sent a kid to the nurse with a sore throat/sore ear and she didn't even look at it! Why is she here??" No...

  18. Alone with students

    Eleven011 replied to arlingtonnurse's topic in School

    I feel that is kind of overboard. Like the others, if it involves an assesment of any private areas or even just a preschooler who had an accident, you bet there will be 2 of us there. But a...

  21. Do you make appointments?

    Eleven011 replied to SwirlyGreenMom's topic in School

    This sounds like a nightmare to me. Unless I had a secretary to answer the constant phone calls and mark down the who's and what's of the appt, I'd hate it. Students show up when they show up,...

    Eleven011 replied to HEA RN's topic in School
