    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Bevp's topic in School

  3. Administration hovering and criticizing

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    "guess assessing is so natural to us nurses that someone on the outside may not even realize we are doing it and therefore it looks like we did nothing." There you go, that says it so well!!! I am in...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I have one in here as we speak. Needs an ice pack because her hair got pulled accidentally during PE. I mean, really??? C'mon now. The way our society is heading is very scary. What next? Place these...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I know a trick that will cure ANY ailment. Tell them their parents are on on their way to pick them up!! Biggest medical discovery EVER!! Then when they ask to go get their backpack, tell them " oh...

  6. SERIOUSLY, sometimes I just surrender!

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Mango Juice's topic in School

    I feel your pain. Truth is, I try to be tough and keep these kiddos in class but when they just keep coming back, what else do you do? They certainly aren't learning a thing that day if they are...

  7. T-shirt Sayings

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I saw this t- shirt on my facebook news feed a few months ago. Should have ordered it because can't find it now. "School Nurse We do precision guess work based on unreliable data provided by those of...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

    Sending letter for 1-2 isolated cases = mass chaos!!! Don't do

  9. Student Down! Where's Everybody?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Tencat12's topic in School

    What gets me is when they call me (for something that is usually stupid) on the radio, if I don't pick up in 1/2 second they are freaking out. When I call for help,

  10. Entitlement - Are We Making The Problem Worse?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    My crystal ball and magic wand broke 10 year years ago, ironically right around the time I became a school nurse. I have been searching desperately for a repair shop ever since. So far, no luck!!! Any...

  11. C'Mon Now!

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I (try) to eat lunch at the same time every day for 4 years! You have interrupted my lunch at least 249 times in those 4 years and are telling me today that you had no clue I eat lunch at this time....

  12. C'Mon Now!

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    It all boils down to good old fashioned communication. Do not give us phone numbers for people you do not want called, give us good working phone numbers for YOU, and provideneeded legal

  13. Wrap it up?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Flare's topic in School

    Flare, To me - this is a darn if you do and darn if you don't scenario. Go beyond your scope vs assist a student. As someone else stated, it is silly not to when RICE is the standard of treatment. I...

  14. I'm a nurse too.....

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to txbootsy's topic in School

    I had a nurse argue with me about my refusal to dispense unlabeled medication from a baggie to her precious flower. My response "if someone handed you a bag of unlabeled meds in the hallway and told...

  15. C'Mon Now!

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Recently, a teacher and counselor made a CPS report for a parent not giving ADHD medication. They were both told that the investigation would go no further as they feel that the parents have a right...

  16. Entitlement - Are We Making The Problem Worse?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I do believe a lot it is hyper parenting and hyper teaching that causes these kiddos to act as they do. My 6 year old was grabbing his stomach a few months ago and I asked him if it hurt. He looks at...

  17. Paranoid teacher

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to rbytsdy's topic in School

    Not sure if they did or not but I sure did recommend it. That conversation came up when she wanted to know what I was going to do about the student (with no siblings or ties to my school at all) who...

  18. This is not why I became a nurse

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    Don't forget to add: 1. And please send students with a "insert several expletives here" pass! Would you like to have to go to a new class every "insert another expletive" day and have to teach...

  19. Paranoid teacher

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to rbytsdy's topic in School

    Pixierose, You are so correct with this behavior being selfish. When I first became a school nurse, I was astounded that teachers were ok (or even encouraged) missed class time for silly stuff. When I...

  20. Paranoid teacher

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to rbytsdy's topic in School

    I have a very similar situation. The only difference is that instead of pregnant teacher it is a "brand new grandma" that does not want her new grandbaby exposed to anything. She takes the passive...

  21. This is not why I became a nurse

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    I will never forget my second year as I school nurse. The paramedics had just left my school with a 7th grade drug overdose victim - no more than 10 minutes later, I was using ice to get gum out of...

  22. Do you interact with students outside of the office?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Kittery's topic in School

    Some days I can barely interact with them in the clinic much less outside the school

  24. So, the season begins, "I have asthma and no inhaler at school."

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    I had one today who has all paperwork signed to be a self carry. Where was his inhaler at? Well, at home of course! This after 15 discussions with student and dad of importance of having it on his...
