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...
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 -...
I get up at 6am. We only have one bathroom, so I have to get up that early to get myself ready, then I wake up my kids to get ready. I leave the house by 7:30 and get to work by 7:45. 2 of my...
I went through the epi pens for schools website. First I sent our local doctor information to see if he would give us an order. Then I wrote a policy that had to be approved by our school board (I...
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...

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,...

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...

No actual gifts or anything, but when I first see my med kids, I spend a little more time saying Hi, asking how their summer was, who they got for a teacher, ect. Just a little extra

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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Not too often. If a student couldn't be in the classroom due to something they did, they would be with the principal,counselor, ect being talked to. My office is small and pretty inconvenient for...
I posted this in another thread - but my counselor brought me down a big banner that said "Thank you Nurse *name* for all you do" and all the elementary had signed it. The cutest part is my son...
Happy Nurses Day everyone! My counselor just brought a huge banner down wishing me a happy nurses day and all the elementary kids signed it. Best present
Out of 650, I have 2 families that don't vaccinate, together they make 7 kids. Both signed religious exemption although I don't really believe it, we don't require any sort of
