  2. BOE Misfits

    Eleven011 replied to mattfd37's topic in School

    I'm not sure if you are talking about your state's Board of Education or your specific schools "Board". Our School Board (made up of elected community members) oversee's our superintendent and...

  3. Communicating with your staff

    Eleven011 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    To clarify - there are no "nurse" passes. Jr/High school students have to carry their planner with them if they are in the halls during class time to show that they are headed somewhere. But there...

    Eleven011 replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    Is this the test for Scoliosis? I do this with my 5th graders with the help of the county health nurse ( I don't have the tools you need ). She said our state recommends 5th grade and 9th grade...

  8. Caught my first louse today!

    Eleven011 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Grabbed the closest thing to me - clear med cup. He only moved around about 30 minutes and hasn't moved since. Either he isn't the hardy type, or I squeezed him a bit too much with my

  9. Caught my first louse today!

    Eleven011 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Can't from work. And I'm not taking him home! I tried to calm her. Told her there was no health risk. She knows this. She is educated, has resources. Just in that bubble of people who go...

  10. Communicating with your staff

    Eleven011 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

  16. Not sure this is the right place for me after all...

    Eleven011 replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I am the only nurse here. No one above me to do the paperwork, no one working under me to do the hands on, so I get it all. And its a good mix, I get a bit of everything and I like it that way....

  25. Parents with poor compliance/lack of follow-up

    Eleven011 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Great idea, but for us, our hospital is about 5 blocks away with excellent response time. This is the main reason we couldn't get stock epi-pens until the very end of last year. The main dr. there...
