    I'm in a temporary (2 year) room right now as our new school is being tore down/rebuilt. I have 2 white cinder block walls and two white makeshift drywall and 2x4 walls (no...
  2. I'm back...with questions

    I don't use EO's for student issues but I do run a diffuser in my office for my personal enjoyment. I also use sparingly on my own kids - lavender for burns is fantastic, and if they are congested -...

  6. ROLL CALL!!! School Nurses 2017/2018

    Here! I started back Monday with inservice and the kids will be here on Thursday! We are in a several year process of building a new school pretty much on top of our old one, so my office was...
  7. How do your students address you?

    I go by Mrs.Lastname for most of the kids. The little ones just call me "nurse" until they learn my name. Having my own 3 kids in my school, there is a small group of kids that are close to my own,...
  8. Scrubs or Clothes?

    My administration gave me the choice of what to wear, so I went with scrubs. I already had a closet full, so a no brainer there, no buying a new wardrobe! Plus they are comfy and easy to work in...

  11. 3 weeks left :(

    Three weeks from today I start back to school! 3 days of inservice and then kids come back too. I'm not ready!! I want more
  12. How much $$$ ?

    Supplies - very little. If I need it to take good care of the kiddos my school will buy it. If I can make a good case for something that is not a need, but will work better, save time, etc, they...
  13. Feeling conflicted

    I work prn in the summer at my local nursing home (I'm not a hospital nurse, but I imagine I could do it there as well). I only work the days I want so it still seems like I have my summers off, but...
  14. Assisted Living supervising RN

    Is anyone here an ALF nurse? I just started a new very parttime job, being the supervising RN for an ALF. They use med aides for all shifts. I'm given up to 10 hours per week. Some of my duties...

    My school doesn't use health office aides, its just me, but from other posts on here I've seen, if an office has a health aide, they usually take care of the hands on things like sick kids, daily...

    I'm still hanging around checking the boards, but I'm doing it from my couch in my tshirt and shorts! We've been out a couple weeks now. As for my office, I had to pack it all up at the end of...
  17. School Hours

    We had the exact same problem with kids showing up way early and no one to watch them! So this was their solution. They started staffing supervisors for playground duty starting at 7:30 and it...
  18. School Hours

    We are 8:20 - 3:20. High school kids get out at 3:25 just to alleviate congestion in the halls as we are all one building. There is supervision on the playground from 7:30 - 8:10 so many kids get a...
