  1. Recent student deaths are getting to me

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    My coaches are all "trained" but they panic about every little thing (they cannot even seem to intervene on a nosebleed). I just hope they could compose themselves enough to grab the AED and start...

  2. Monday morning urgent care..

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Bevp's topic in School

    My frustration is that the parent never walks the kid down and asks my opinion. No, they send them by bus and then take 4 hours to get here when I tell them they in fact need further

  3. Monday morning urgent care..

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Bevp's topic in School

  5. *cough* teachers

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to jhlpn's topic in School

  6. Feeling like chopped liver

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    Nobody cares until one of those sweethearts has an asthma attack and another student shares his / her inhaler OR if they start a measles outbreak!! Then it will be, "why did that nurse not warn

  7. School nurses - thoughts on this?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to BeachsideRN's topic in School

  10. Battle with Myself

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I feel the same way a lot of days!! Only another school nurse understands how tough this job can be. I think staff, parents, students envision us just sitting here eating bon-bons waiting for a paper...

  11. Lunch/break question

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to EPIC_nurse's topic in School

    I agree with learning to say no!! If someone asks me for dental floss or any other minor silliness, I tell them to come back and give them a specific time to do so. If we don't respect our own right...

  12. minor complaints

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Flare's topic in School

    I just do not get my PE / Athletic coaches. They will call me on the radio in a panic for a 2 drop nosebleed to come with the wheelchair. But a kid who cannot bear weight on foot at all, they have him...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to EPIC_nurse's topic in School

    Every thing I learned about being a school nurse I learned while being a school nurse!!!! I have been at this gig 10 years and still learn something new daily. A kid will tell me or show me something...

  16. Last minute complaint

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    I had one come back to the clinic 40 minutes after dismissal a few weeks ago. When he got in the car with his mom, he mentioned his tailbone had been hurting since he fell at basketball practice (at...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in School

    Dallas girl myself, never owned a monogrammed shirt or rode a horse. Hung out at the malls we have in the area growing up. Have friends that live in Amarillo and shopping is just not as good in them...

  22. Random Thoughts: School Nurses

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    One of my biggest pet peeves! Some of the kids are told that and some are just liars, they are coming from bathroom or never went to class in the first place, which to me is why passes are so...
