  2. C'Mon Now!

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    After using my contact lens solution 2-3 times a week for 2 school years "is this the only kind of solution you have?" I told her "if you don't like it, I suggest you bring your own then." C'MON...

  3. Question?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    This is what I do!!! Unless urgent, I will not stop taking care of a student to provide very basic first aid to a staff member. I will talk them through it and show them how they can help themselves...

  7. Camp nursing in summer

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I am from Texas and worked a summer camp in upstate New York about 9 years ago. I was there for 3 weeks. My daughter got to be a camper for free, no reduce in my pay which was $1000 week. I was the...

  8. C'Mon Now!

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Very 1st day on my campus, 3 sisters waiting for their schedules in counseling office. One comes flying in clinic and spits up a tiny bit of phlegm in my trash can. Before I can do anything, one of...

  9. I'm not sure what they expect!- Small vent

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    They want you to tell the kid they need to stay in class, so they don't have to. However, it puts you in a bad predicament. If a kid comes to see me several times in a day, I feel an obligation to...

  10. What do you do with your "Stomachache" kids?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I stopped trying to return trash cans. It seems the bigger the trash can, the less likely student is to hurl. If a teacher wants it back, they know where they sent

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I have told a few that since they know my job so well, maybe they can cover the clinic so I can have an uninterrupted lunch. So far, no

  12. Nurse Pass

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Exactly. I just finally gave up. Tired of spending my day questioning them about where they came from or why they don't have a pass. However, if they don't bring me a pass, I don't...

  13. Nurse Pass

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We MUST work at the same school!!! And it is one of my biggest pet peeves with kids just wandering in and out. It is a safety issue, but nobody cares until something

  14. C'Mon Now!

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    If I leave you a detailed message with my direct phone number, why must you text your kid and tell him to tell me to call you back AND, when I do - let it go to voice mail????????????? Then, you text...

  15. Teachers

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    " 3 weeks later one of that group had pneumonia and she emailed the parents telling them that the school nurse ignored the symptoms and was the reason for the pneumonia. I passed that one onto my...

  16. Head Injuries

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to mattfd37's topic in School

    I have been called to the gym with the wheelchair for a girl feeling a little dizzy because she skipped breakfast and everyone yelling "she is about to pass out." By the time I wheeled her back to...

  17. Bottle Up The Magic

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I also like to giggle when teachers return from a field trip and not one single Band-Aid was needed. Nobody ever seems to have nausea, invisible nosebleeds, unexplainable paralysis, sudden onset...

  18. How much time for break?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Eleven011's topic in School

  20. Do you ever say "no" to an inhaler request?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Bevp's topic in School

    And there it is!!! Why does the "other duties" only apply to nurses and not other

  22. It must be Pink eye!

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Every cough is pneumonia, every rash is contagious, every spit up is vomit, every eye itch is pink

  23. School Nurse "Holiday Wish List"

  24. What if there had been an ACTUAL emergency?!? Ugh!

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Well

  25. If you feel sick the nurse will call me and you can go home

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I think none of us have a problem with parents sending kids to school when they are on the fence. Heck, I have done it myself even with all of my experience. My thought is this. Just commit to it!!...
