  1. Spring is not the best time of the year...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Amethya's topic in School

    What is most funny is that mom is getting angry at you for something you did not know, but trying to use I don't know as her excuse for sending kid to school. Give me a

  2. Does this fall under "my job"?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

  3. Bypassing Nurse? HELP!

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to SWimbish's topic in School

    I used to care but have learned to let it go. Like someone else said, it is a battle you won't win. I have had parents tell an administrator they left sick when they get in truancy issues. I always...

  4. Does this fall under "my job"?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    Look at your district's policy because that is one slippery slope. Our policy states that it is the school's responsibility to have a plan for an unmedicated student. Unmanageable is a subjective...

  5. Tired of certain teachers

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    I think we can all say there is a disconnect between teachers and nurses as we have not walked in each other's shoes. However, at the end of the day -WE ARE ALL HUMAN. I think we would support any...

  6. Asking me to go against policy

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    My SPED department when I first started my school 5 years ago ran like a machine. They would occasionally bring a kid and when they did, kid often met criteria to go home. NOW, that team has been...

  7. Dear Teacher

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

  12. Teachers undermining your decision/going behind your back and sending kids home

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to lovely07's topic in School

    Sounds like you are in a toxic situation and there is no winning there. Sorry it has to be that way!!!! Obviously attendance and learning are NOT a priority at your school. Just sad!!! In the long...

  13. Teachers undermining your decision/going behind your back and sending kids home

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to lovely07's topic in School

    Why is your principal even wasting money on a nurse if he /she allowing his teachers to make all of the medical decisions?? Do you have a Nursing Director? Maybe they need a few years of no nurse at...

  14. Teachers undermining your decision/going behind your back and sending kids home

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to lovely07's topic in School

    Do you have a list of conditions that are excludable for your district? If so, I sure would make a copy for them. Then, I would explain that anyone sent home by them outside those parameters should be...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to KKEGS's topic in School

  24. If you are NOT allowed to dispense OTC meds

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Cattz's topic in School
