So, I applied for a job at the local jail about 2 months ago. 2 days later they called me for an interview to be held a week later. Interview and test lasted about 45 min. I was told I would be called the following week. 3 weeks later they called and...

I got hired yesterday! Start on Thursday! Hope the job was worth the wait.:)

Our field day was today. The PTA requested donations for water for the snack bar, then kids had to buy water. There was NO free water. So many kids didn't bring money so they didn't get any water. Re-cap, 300 kids running, hoping, jumping in 80 degre...

I work in the school that 2 of my children attend. I think it's great :loveya: I get to check in on them occasionally, they cant fake sick and it keeps them in-line. The best part is that they are still younge enough that it's cool to hug and kiss mo...

I'm not a hospine nurse, actually a school nurse, however my father was terminally ill last year and one year ago today we engaged hospice. He only lived a week. 20 years with hep. c , 1 liver transplant, and finally hepatic/renal failure and he had ...

My favorite is when they come in asking for a change of clothes or clean socks....then get really ***** because I don't have those things. Sometimes I think the teachers think that there's a magic fairy that delivers all odds and ends to the nurses o...

This year I took 50 bucks out of my budget and bought a small ice maker. I add water every morning and it maked a days worth of ice in about 20 minutes. Once it gets warm out and we have more playground injuries, I go through 2 cycles. Definatly wort...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU , THANK YOU!!!!, I too would like to wish everyone a Happy School Nurses Day!!! We are an often unrecognized group of women ( do we have any men on here?) who change lives!!! GOD BLESS US ALL!!!!

You have a doctors note saying the child cannot go outside. You can always say that is is not within your authority to override a medical decision. In any other situation you have to follow doctors orders right? I hate parents that do stuff like thi...

I'm in Virginia and had a student with Fifth's disesde last week. I checked the Virginia communicable refference chart put out by the dept. of health. It said no exclusion was required. Check with your state to see if they put out something like that...

We have a school resourse officer, a local police officer, who we send to the house to knock on the door. Having a police car pull up in front of a house to tell a parent their child is sick and the school has no working numbers...that usually gets t...

I live in a small town in Virginia and am currently the school nurse for k-12 for about 600 students. The school boars has decided to cut my job next year because of budget cuts. I have decided that they have no idea what they're doing and I want to ...

The first thing I learned in nursing school was...IT YOU DON'T WRITE IT...IT NEVER HAPPENED..I write everything.Keep track of everything. I think that will be a great help to me. I was also looking for statistics and such.

In my school the principal leaves it up to my discretion. I feel as though teachers know how to keep it from spreading. I always talk to the teacher and if they want to stay. Great!! If they want to go because it's bothersome then that's great too...

This is exactly what I was talking about yesterday...sorry I missed this post. My principal is going to talk to the teachers. What I have decided is this...Between having 3 kids and being a school nurse for a few years I have a pretty good BS meter! ...

O.K. so this may not seem like a big deal, but it really gets me. I am the school nurse for two schools with a total of 563 students. We have several teachers (mostly lower grades) who will send kids to my office and when I send them back, because in...

I have had to make the same threat several times and have actually had to call 911. More often than that I call the school resourse officer who drives to the house and tells the parent they need to pick up there child.....That works!!

I am a graduate from Richmond and think the program was horrible. Most of teh etachers were o.k., some were horrible, and the administration was really bad. Still is. They don't do what they say they are going to do. I reccomend checking out other sc...
