  2. How much time do you get for Thanksgiving break?

    Eleven011 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Our last day of school this year is May 13th, which is absurd to me. We could easily go another 1-2 weeks and have more time off during the

    SO jealous of all of you getting the whole week

  4. Babysiting the "problem children"

    Eleven011 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    I don't have an issue with this at all. If it is a child who is in special ed, their staff handles all behaviors they may have. They are trained for it and know works for the child - I don't. If...

  5. It's not even 8 am yet (here)...

    Eleven011 replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    Thankfully I dont enter the building where parent drop off is - but, I do walk across the playground. So every child that has fallen, thinks they may have fallen, is sick today, but couldn't bother...

    Eleven011 replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

  8. Halloween

    Eleven011 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I think I will be having a slow day too. No one wants to be sent home and miss the afternoon parties. Oh, well, maybe I'll get some screening results

  9. Halloween

    Eleven011 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I have been wearing Halloween scrubs off and on for the last couple weeks. Tomorrow I will wear my orange pumpkin shirt with jeans. I have also had candy corn and candy pumpkins for my visitors the...

  10. Grim Reaper Day

    Eleven011 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    We did this when I was in high school for drunk driving awareness. Someone walked around and picked out random people every so often and at the end of the day we had an assembly where everyone who...

  12. Cough drops

    Eleven011 replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    We can't dispense anything, not even cough drops, without parent permission (and the parent supplying the med) . I am thinking of trying to implement a parent permission form for OTC's for next...

  13. How long is your commute?

    Eleven011 replied to the nurse who lived's topic in General Nursing

    I live 6 miles outside of a small town. It takes about 15 min. from my door to work. There is never traffic and only 1 stop light. Only thing that makes it longer would be blizzards and icy

  15. Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

    Eleven011 replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    I had a 9th grader come down for a sliver today. I had him wash his hands, then got out my "tools". He promptly pulls away - "no don't poke at it"! Me: "exactly what do you want me to do then?"...

  16. Dining Room Duties

    Eleven011 replied to NurseQT's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The last 2 nursing homes I worked at the policy was that "someone", either nurse or CNA needed to be in the dining room until the last person finished. That made it much easier for us to leave and...

  17. supplemental income

    Eleven011 replied to crazynursebsn's topic in School

    I work for Home Health during the summer months. I don't do much extra during the school year, as i'm busy enough with my kids

  18. Annoyed -just a vent

    Eleven011 replied to Flare's topic in School

    Kids comes into my office and hands me a prescription bottle of meds. "I'm supposed to have these here in case I get a headache". NO parent note or form sent along. Then, I read the bottle....

  19. Returning pants

    Eleven011 replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

    I lend out quite a few pairs of pants also. About 1/2 bring them back. I have access to a washer/dryer in our life skills room, so I wash everything returned even if it looks like they have been...

    Eleven011 posted a topic in School

    I just started my school nurse position this year, been at it about 6 weeks. Its all going good, but I already can see that I have many frequent fliers. I was wondering if anyone did something...

  21. Random Thoughts: School Nurses

    Eleven011 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I have a teenager who had a concussion and for some reason isn't able to pass her release concussion test, so we recieved a dr. order for her to spend her study hall in the nurses office for...

  22. Headlice/dandruff

    Eleven011 posted a topic in School

    Any good ways to tell the difference?? Besides that the nits stick to the hairshaft? I've had a couple kids come in lately with bad dandruff, and its so hard to tell. Most of it obviously flakes...

  23. TGIF

    Eleven011 replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    I long for a 3 day weekend! While our kids are off on Monday, we get to have Teacher Inservice. Yippee. At least I don't have to wake my kids up, so I get about an extra hour of

  24. Headlice/dandruff

    Eleven011 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    This is exactly what I told my kid today. Go wash your hair tonite and come back in the morning! Our policy is vague and usually open to interpretation. "A student found to have head lice will be...

    Eleven011 replied to Roy Fokker's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have a student who had a head CT earlier this week and an MRI today for a newly developed head tic/tremor. Guess who came in yesterday with a nice goose egg from bumping heads with a
