    Frustrated to no end.....

    LACA replied to LACA's topic in School

    I'm definitely worried about my own personal safety at this point. Both of the parents have shown some anger towards me, and I don't want it to escalate. I don't think it would do any good to even...

    Frustrated to no end.....

    LACA replied to LACA's topic in School

    The parents showed up out of the blue about an hour ago to pick her up. I wasn't here, I was at the high school doing drug testing. I can't treat her at school due to liability issues. I've even...

    When do you report to CPS?

    LACA replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    Tough question---they all three have their suspicions....The first two do sound possible, but I'm not sure they warrant a call to CPS. Maybe keep an eye out for further signs? Monitor the children for...

    Is this correct??????

    LACA replied to rdsxfnrn's topic in School

    I'm with you on this one. You have to have an order that states SEASONAL allergy. You can't give a med for something that you don't have an order for. It's like the 3rd grader that came to take his...

    period during pregnancy?

    LACA replied to Ms.RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm pretty sure that didelphic is the same, or similar to, as bicornate uterus (?) I actually have a bicornate uterus. During my first pregnancy, I began bleeding and cramping (just like a normal...

    Nurses who DON'T work in a hospital, what do you do?

    LACA replied to RNfaster's topic in General Nursing

    I am an LPN, almost 5 years out of nursing school. I am currently an elementary school nurse in a PreK-5th grade school. LOVE my job. Being a school nurse has always been my dream job and I'm so...

    NASN Question....

    LACA replied to LACA's topic in School

    Oh I've never doubted that I'm just as much a nurse as they are...I just think it's extremely unfair to offer an association for school nurses, then only allow RNs to join. Oh well, so it goes I...

    NASN Question....

    LACA replied to LACA's topic in School

    Honestly, that kinda makes me mad. I'm just as much a school nurse as an RN! Why would you have an associated for School Nurses if they aren't all able to join???? RNs and LPNs are both nurses...I...

    A fever...and no answer at home!

    LACA replied to LACA's topic in School

    In our district, we are not allowed to take kids home. The principal wasn't available that afternoon. My ONLY option was to put him on the bus. I am an LPN, I'm in Tennessee. We are not required to...

    Missed a call for an on-call shift

    LACA replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    If I don't have the money to provide my child with something she needs, I'm not going to go out and buy myself new scrubs or something. I understand what you are saying about needing to have the...

    What would you have done?

    LACA replied to LACA's topic in School

    You better believe I call for EVERYTHING now. I guess I learned my lesson...still haven't heard anything from those parents though....Guess that's a good sign! Oh well, you live and learn! I guess...

    How do you handle these?

    LACA replied to LACA's topic in School

    I don't really understand her way of thinking on not treating them just because the injury didn't happen at school. If they are in pain, bleeding, etc then they would need some sort of treatment! Yes,...

    A fever...and no answer at home!

    LACA replied to LACA's topic in School

    I just went and spoke to his teacher, he isn't here today. I called his home number and I'm pretty sure someone answered and then hung up without saying anything because it disconnected before the...

    A fever...and no answer at home!

    LACA replied to LACA's topic in School

    In my district, I had no other choice. I sent a note home with him and put him on the bus. I would have driven him home myself, but that would have put me directly responsible if I had had a car...

    A fever...and no answer at home!

    LACA replied to LACA's topic in School

    His teacher just stopped by to get him from the clinic to put him on the bus....poor little guy looks like he's about to fall over. I hate situations like this. He's sick as can be and now he's going...

    Missed a call for an on-call shift

    LACA replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    In response to the recent post, I am completely outraged. They pay decent money so that makes them have a say in how you spend it???!? REGARDLESS of where I work or what I do, food for my child comes...

    If someone tested you on the last book you read for fun, what grade would you get?

    LACA replied to annalem's topic in General Nursing

    I can answer any Twilight question you throw at me!! I LOVE that series! And I'm NOT ashamed to admit

    How do you handle these?

    LACA replied to LACA's topic in School

    I had a school nurse once tell me that she didn't treat injuries that occured at home. So I was going to see if that was the norm....I treat them just like any other injury, but didn't know if...

    Fixing the past?

    LACA replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    It's amazing how long some people can hold a grudge. I don't see that the comment you made was enough to keep that child from liking you a year later. Children don't typically hold grudges that long,...
