  3. Stop the insanity (AKA panic)

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

  9. Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    At least they did not blame marker on bad circulation. At least 2-3 times every year, I get some panicked student whose teacher told them they are not getting circulation to their hands because they...

  10. Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    Monday morning, 2nd period class and a student was sent to me to get a spoon so he can eat his applesauce in class. Maybe if there was less snacking and more learning going on........... We have...

  11. Your thoughts on ice....

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    If I didn't think it would get very annoying very quickly, I would like to play "Shake it Off" in a continuous loop in my clinic. Because why?? Most of those bumps would be fine if teachers just said...

  12. Thirsty?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to GdBSN's topic in School

  14. Your thoughts on ice....

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    I used to let my middle schoolers take their ice packs to class. Then, I got so many complaints of them being found melted all over the floor, or the kids slurping on them and disrupting class that I...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I had a parent calling me a liar because her kid said she was in the clinic when she was not. She started cussing me out and saying I have my daughter on the phone and she is right in front of you....

    Cattz, I am curious, I even looked at your original post to clarify. What is the school hours for the student mentioned? I have a feeling that either that breakfast or afternoon does is outside of...

  17. Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    My thing is this - why are these things not nipped in the bud in the classroom? If they send them to us, it sends the message that cry hard enough, you get your

  20. Medical Assistant as school nurse

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to smileitout's topic in School

    This is a slippery slope if you ask me. I was a Medical Assistant for an Ob/Gyn doctor office before I went to nursing school. I see MA's as a very valuable part of a medical team. I think that is...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to mycsm's topic in School

    There was a student hiding under their desk in class yesterday. Apparently, they had tried everything short of a forklift and he was just not budging. So, of course they call me (Super Nurse) to the...

  23. UGH TEACHERS

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to mycsm's topic in School

    The ONLY part of this I disagree with is "on the elementary level." In my experience, this serious condition extends over all race, socio-economic and grade levels. In middle school, the paralysis...

  24. A Drive by, seriously!

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Bevp's topic in School

    I had a driver who was making a delivery to a school down the block and he cut his hand open on a box. He then came to my school for his next delivery and found his way to me (oh joy). I had a clinic...
