We don't get set budget amounts every year. We turn in our budget requests (they are due today actually) for the next year and then they are approved or not. I have a general idea, but its not a...
My problem with this is that its hard to enforce/monitor. Are HS kids searched every morning to see if they have OTC's? And then who spends the time checking to see if every kid who has an OTC...
I've never worked at a summer camp, but have looked into it a bit - I looked around nurse.campstaff.com and found lots of jobs. I heard about it here on the camp nurse forum, so they might have...
I'm no where near TX, but I've gotten some really cute and inexpensive scrub tops from WalMart. I work with all ages of kids, but the younger come see me more often. I've gotten a minion one, one...

I have them all! My school is PreK - 12. But I prefer the little ones. I like to be around the teens, I have two kids up there, but not when they are sick. They are way more whiney than my...
I'm forever out of the loop. Just today I let a HS kid get permission from mom to go home sick, only to be informed by the office we had to get permission from his Home Detention Monitor. Well If...
I have this memory as well. I had no idea the world was so clear and beautiful. My mom was watching me walk around outside and said I almost walked right into a tree because I was just so...

Our 7-12 section has planners that they are required to carry with them at all times. In the back is a section to fill out where you are going and when you got back. They are not nurse specific, so...
I also like the Thinx underwear. I got a pair for my teen daughter when she started her period and was nervous about school. She loves them! She can go the whole school day with
I asked when I started if I could wear scrubs and they told me to wear whatever I wanted as long as it was clean and neat. So I wear scrubs everyday and friday is charity jeans day (wear jeans for...
My school is PreK - 12 so I have them all! My favorites would be the littles because they are willing to try your suggestions - rest/water/bathroom. The HS kids just think thats a waste of time and...
Stomachaches get a temp check, "did you eat breakfast/lunch?", drink a big glass of water, use my bathroom, rest x 10 min. Some get saltines, grahams, or a granola bar if I think they may be...
Can I ask why you are having an open house in the middle of the year? Usually they are at the beginning of the year, and I would have things like copies of medication policy and forms, Immunization...
Sadly, it doesn't get used alot. I have it at the ready, in a basket by my recovery couch, with my oximeter and manual b/p cuffs. I have an automatic b/p machine too, so don't even use it for...
