  1. International Immunziations

    Eleven011 replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I had a couple kids from Mexico this year too. I transcribed what I could (using google!) and sent it off to our county health nurse. She then could enter it all into our states database and she...

    Eleven011 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

  5. Do you log every "out" time?

    Eleven011 replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    In my computer system, I can schedule med visits and they populate on my calendar every day with the time I scheduled them for. Then when I give the med I just click it as completed. Unless I...

  7. Night shift alterative hours poll

    Eleven011 replied to Wolf at the Door's topic in General Nursing

    I will never go back to night shift if at all possible, but back in the day, I would have liked 10p-6, 4 paid for 5. I didn't like with the 6pm or even 7pm start, I only had a couple hours at best...

  8. How is life as a school nurse

    Eleven011 replied to Dpagan16's topic in School

  11. Not my role... admin rant

    Eleven011 replied to Dattebayo's topic in School

    I have great admins too. They will ask me to call a parent if an injury has occurred and I'm ok with that. But, almost always they have already called the parents about the behavior issue. If...

  12. Ideas for After School Program?

    Eleven011 replied to shark_nurse14's topic in School

    First thing that comes to mind would be a yoga/meditation/relaxation type of class. Some of our little ones can be pretty stressed now a days. Obviously there are the first aid, heathy habits, etc....

  13. How many are members of NASN?

    Eleven011 replied to verdeacres's topic in School

    Eleven011 replied to yanisetsarai's topic in School

    Hi!! and welcome! If you are talking about "other duties as assigned", many of us have them, and there isn't alot you can do about it. My school is pretty good at letting me just do nursing...

  17. Question?

    Eleven011 replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    I don't really see the big deal. I would help a staff member who came to my office with an injury. That's just being a good friend/coworker. What good is a toll free number to call if you are...

    Eleven011 replied to Gr4ceffa's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've never looked into it, but in the two nursing homes I've worked at, many of the evening staff are high school kids. Pretty sure they were

  19. School Nurse /Pay/No pay?

    Eleven011 replied to KATIEOP's topic in School

    Eleven011 replied to Amethya's topic in School

  21. Puberty class

    Eleven011 replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I do 4th and 5th grade girls puberty/periods using the PG dvd and then questions after. They are never hard medical questions - usually lots of "how will I know" and "what to do if" type things. I...

    Eleven011 replied to WineRN's topic in School

    This is only my 2nd year as a school nurse, but I'll answer as best I can! 1. Each day and each kid is different but I have let kids stay longer than a few minutes if they seem to need it. I've let...

  24. Unemployment during the summer

    Eleven011 replied to verdeacres's topic in School

    No, actually it doesn't, but that's not the point. Say we both are offered a contract for the 2017/18 school year for $20,000. You get a 9 month contract for $2,222.22 a month x 9 months. I get...

  25. Unemployment during the summer

    Eleven011 replied to verdeacres's topic in School

    I don't understand how having a 9 month contract is really that much different than a 12 month one. We are making the SAME AMOUNT of money. If I was paid for the 9 months I worked only - I would...
