  1. Things that make me grumpy

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Flare's topic in School

    Imagine that???? I guess we covet our hard earned nursing licenses much more that they do their teaching

  2. Things that make me grumpy

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Flare's topic in School

    ALL. OF. THE. ABOVE. Plus - coaches that give students with non-existent boo-boos 34 pound ice bags, no barrier and no further instructions. Kid carries it from class to class until completely melted...

  3. Sometimes more teachers than kids come to see me

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Had one today with lower back pain that pretty much wiped out my ice supply and made sure everyone in the vicinity knew she was in pain. She would keep talking even when she saw me assessing students...

  4. Calling EMS

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    I would rather call 911 for a panic attack than not call for something that ends up being life threatening. Diagnosing is beyond our scope of practice anyway. We need to stop beating ourselves up ( I...

  5. Everyone Super Busy ??

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    So busy here!! And we have so many emotionally needy students that are running me and my counselors ragged this year. And some whackadoodle parents that we are just constantly having to put out fires...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to schoolnurse2015's topic in School

    My favorite line that I use "I can see what is happening on the outside, I cannot see what is happening on the inside." With my population of affluent helicopter parents, I tend to over refer for...

  7. I made a mistake... anyone left?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    I probably would not have done anything different myself and I have been doing this 10 years now!! We are not an ER. Like someone else we do the best we can with what we got and that is very little....

  8. ticks, concussions, and fractures, Oh My!

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to BeckyESRN's topic in School

    Bus accident yesterday morning and yes, they asked me to "check out" all the kids that were on there. I hate that term "check out" - like I have a scanner or something. Weird injuries like toenail...

  10. Who's Left ??

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Students get out on June 3rd. I come back on June 6th to destroy meds and box up records and then I am done. So far I have seen a steady stream of sunburns after that long holiday weekend. Well, next...

  11. C'Mon Now!

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

  16. But I'm the Nurse

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Nobody has any knowledge when a kid is hanging their head over a trash can though. Call the nurse on the radio as only an RN can walk a student and his trash can to he clinic!! But darn I forgot my...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to vikivail26's topic in School

    I have been dealing with the same thing this year. The TA's are new, young and inexperienced. They bring them in all day long... Next year, I am going to toughen up though. Give them some stricter...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

  24. New to school nursing: need medication log advice.

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to MaltyChick's topic in School
