    I have 3- 1 inch binders divided up alphabetically. Each student has a sheet with 6 visit comment sections on each side of paper. I note the date and time, C/O, brief assessment,interventions, a check...
  4. Weird Requests

    Oh my!! After reading that post re cramps and all- I sure needed this laugh. My police officer heard me laugh in the next office. I can't wait to share that request and the responses. Hee Hee!!! I...
  5. Advice need on how to approach hygiene issues

    Ohhh, This happens so often! Sometimes the odor is so pungent that I know there isn't any hugging and kissing going on in that family let alone washing. The way some of these youngsters are raised is...
  6. CPS pics and hippa question

    http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/doc/ferpa-hipaa-guidance.pdf-- This is the address- I'm not good at links and fancy computer functions, so you'll have to copy and paste the link. If it doesn't...
  7. CPS pics and hippa question

    I am sure Martha would have plenty to say. We have had discussions on a listserv recently. Most issues in schools are FERPA and not HIPAA. These discussions prompted me to download the US Department...
  8. School breakfast

    I think the point is lost. We are not talking about that poor child who doesn't have food and misses breakfast from circumstances out of his control. I ask several questions when a student comes...
  9. Not sure what to feel

    I had to take a personal/family ill day Friday. My grandfather had Mitral and CABG open heart. A student was throwing cheetos in the air and catching them in his mouth at lunch in the cafeteria. He...
  10. Organization

    I keep a running log on a clip board. This lets me know how many kids I see everyday and it's a quick reference if I get too busy to chart details immediately. I have a record for every student in a...
  11. Swine Flu

    Past two weeks I sent home average 20 kids a day w/ fever over 101. Slowing down now. I don't know what to do with myself, only sent home 2 so fartoday. I got used to a line out my door at 800 am....
  12. Teacher injury

    Hello Everyone- I almost made it to the end of the year without more issues-- THEN... A teacher aide sent a student to me for ice. I have her Return to Work Restrictions on file for a non-work...
  13. Did I do something wrong?

    I'm sure that all of us reading your post have had similar situations. Even after six years in schools, I learn new things about myself and parents. Sometimes parents who haven't been doing all THEY...
  14. Teacher injury

    I thought I should give an update- Some of you are making leaping assumptions- "power play", no, just doing what is right and prudent under my license. I did have communication with the MD, she was to...
  15. Teachers and Ice

    I am so tired of teachers demanding that I give ice packs. I know it seems minor but not every injury needs ice! The other day a teacher went to the principal. He walked in here while I was on the...
  16. Illinois School Nurses...I need your help!!!

    I am on the Student Assistant Team here in my very inner-city school. We never have a 504 without the psych or social worker. Most importantly- he may not qualify for a 504. You don't want to make one...
  17. Illinois School Nurses...I need your help!!!

    This is of such interest to me. Firstly, does he have a 504 with a behavior plan? Having a medical diagnosis does NOT automatically qualify a student for a 504. Has your team discussed him? If he...
  18. Illinois School Nurses...I need your help!!!

    Wow! I think some of this is off track now. The school is not refusing to educate the child d/t disability. The child/Mom is refusing adequate interventions to the disabiltiy, ie: change of clothing....
  19. Illinois School Nurses...I need your help!!!

    Oh My!!! Not only unsanitary but quite bad for the skin. Tell her you need a doctor order to let him sit in soiled pants all day. Have Mom sign a release and speak with the MD. Sometimes I just give...
  20. Clinic Numbers

    Great ideas- I use most of those myself. I've been here 5 years so have worked out many of the kinks. Problems at times with new staff. I feel we are here to not only keep kids in the classroom, but...
  21. School Health Fair

    My school is 100% free lunch with many absent parents. We have a tough time reaching families in a variety of areas. I have had success by holding my fairs when parents are in the building for...
