It is happening here quite a bit too, and has consequences the same as smoking or drugs. Lots of suspensions given for vaping on school grounds or having a pen in there possession. I haven't...
We have a screening day held usually in March for the upcoming kinders. Most is acedemic, but our SLP's screen hearing and our local Lion's club does the SPOT vision screen. So not much for me to...
We are doing Christmas with our kids Saturday (yikes that's tomarrow!), then heading to my Mom's house for my side on Sunday. We will spend Christmas Eve with MIL in the nursing home, then Christmas...
When I worked Home Health, we had about 7 of us to share call. We went a week at a time. So I was on call from 8am Monday morning until the following Monday morning every 7th week. There was a...
My daughter does dance classes, so if you think this is what she means by "dance", she might enjoy some homemade lotion for her feet, a plain water bottle jazzed up with dance stickers, a plain tote...
There isn't a position like that in my area, we are a one nurse/one school district. But I would imagine it would depend on which you liked to do better - the day to day interactions with the...
I will be at the uncool table all winter. We have winter themed staff sweatshirts in school spirit blue that we wear all season on Wednesdays. Unless I forget and accidentally wear pink
Its rare that I get an actual emergent kid (throwing up is NOT emergent in my book), so I actually triage backwards most days. If I start to get backed up with kids lined up, I'll say to all of them...
I have pretty much checked out right now. I could finish up screenings, do filing, ect, but I don't. And I have 2 full weeks yet until break! Hopefully I'll have a bit more energy when we come...
Sorry I didn't see this earlier - I JUST went through this in my school. 2 kids, brother and sister, were diagnosed with Pertussis. The Dept of Health called and informed me of that fact. They...
Hamburger Stew, Biscuit, fruit. That's all my calendar tells me. There is salad bar too. My lunch is "my stomach is not ok, so we're just gonna snack on these
I'm in a pretty rural area and I am paid hourly. Nurses in my town have limited options. We have a combined hospital/clinic, 2 nursing homes, a mentally disabled facility (only a few nurses), the...
I was sent information and I applied for it my first year here (before I knew better), but my school didn't get selected. I haven't looked into it to try again, because like the other said, I'm not...

I would help a student who asked me to do this, but while I did, would definitely have the conversation to find out if parents aware, if tattoo gotten at reputable place, if student has supplies at...
I think about it, but it isn't something I dwell on or worry about daily. We are a small town, I know our police and ambulance are only minutes from getting to us if needed. Plus I do have staff,...

We have two a year. I'm not involved though, I believe admin takes care of it. I do however, always get 2-3 kids that can't handle the after effects. Always a fun
