  2. Who uses the restroom in your office?

    There is a preschool across the hall one way and ECIP (early childhood) across the other way that all use my bathroom. Its much closer and less scary than the big bathroom down the hall. Plus...

  7. Love Days Like Today!

    Yep, smaller school or private will probably get you what you want. It is just me here to do all the meds, visits and paperwork. Hope you have a great
  8. We are human too

    I don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe its where I'm from or the facilities I've worked at. I've seen many coworkers hug and say loving things to those residents they were particularly close...

  11. Proctor and Gamble Always Changing

    10+ accidents?? Holy dirty clothes! That would make anyone need to
  13. ADHD Student on Rampage

    Same. I will try for a bit to give the med, but if a child refuses, I let the teacher know and if the student is otherwise causing problems, our director of SPED and her staff step in to take care...
  14. Stop, putting this on me...

    Yes, it gets frustrating at times, but if I refused to do every non-nursing thing that was sent to me, I would probably talk myself right out of a job. It doesn't take a nurse to help with a child...
  15. Pregnancies on Campus

    It isn't a big issue here. There weren't any last year. This year we had one senior student deliver a baby last month. We have a trimester health class for 8th graders, but I'm not sure how much...
  16. Splinters

    Pretty much the same as the others. My little ones can't take a lot of digging around, so if I can't grab the end easily with tweezers, i put some ointment and a bandaid on. My older teens who...

  20. Suspected Drug Use

    I am literally from small town USA, so have never had to deal with this and *knock on wood* won't have to, but I guess if I had a student brought to me under suspicion, besides vitals, I would asses...
  21. That's So Fetch! (Pink Wednesdays)

    Well, winter has set in here in the Dakotas, so its back to my Royal Blue " School Staff Wonderland - Where school is cool" sweatshirt on Wednesdays. I guess I'm banished until
  22. It's ok to look at their....

    If I have a kid come in with a rash on belly or back, I ask them if its ok if I look. I don't take clothes off, but I'm ok with lifting a shirt up to see if my little person is covered with...
  23. SO many kids out sick today

    We almost had our school closed down a couple years ago. Our otherwise healthy 6th graders started getting very sick, very quickly. Diagnosis was pneumonia - like "I can see it on the xray from...
