  1. NOT gas!

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to nursmimi's topic in School

    I find sometimes the "go with your gut" works in many different ways. I will have a kid with something so minor and silly that I usually don't even call a parent on but something about the kid's...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    This just burns my ****. I have the same exact stop sign and my lunch is 1:15-1:45 (practically dinner if you ask me). I used to turn off lights and close the door but kids would just go in and sit in...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to ob-rnc's topic in School

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Windchaser22's topic in School

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Windchaser22's topic in School

    To the OP. it is not just your staff!!! Everything in school is an emergency. And the lack of info given when called to an "emergency" just makes smoke ome out of my ears. If these same folks were to...

  16. Help With "Needy" Teachers

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to jodys-girl's topic in School

    I hate to say it, but the school nurse is truly the dump site in a lot of buildings. If a staff member cannot figure out what to do or where to send the kid, they end up with the nurse. Some days,...

  17. Random Thoughts: School Nurses

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Why must staff members feel it necessary to send a kid who has had a "________________all day long" to the clinic right in the middle of their lunch? Lierally, kids take 2 bites, leave tray and come...

  23. How many visits make a frequent flyer.

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to kkanady's topic in School

    If they can't pay you what you are worth, give you the title you have worked hard to earn and are essentially placing you in a position where your role is kind of muddy - is that a place you really...

  25. PARENTS say the darnedest things

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to fetch's topic in School

    OR, I will get the opposite of this. Student presents to me at 7:45 (school starts at 8:30) and 3 minutes after getting out of parent's car. No fever, nothing. What did mom do/say? Nothing, just that...
