Thank you!

Shockingly, I've had this happen before and after some research, I called Mom to refer for further evaluation. Pituitary disorders/tumors can cause this, and it turns out that's exactly what this particular student was dealing with. Benign, thankfully, but still something to monitor.

Our students are sent home for live lice only. We do not have a no-nit policy and I don't typically do a recheck once they have been treated.

C/O upset stomach, nausea without vomiting. Ate lunch, played at recess. No need for bathroom. Gave sips of water and allowed rest for 15 minutes. improvement of symptoms, no vomiting. Returned to class... and threw up. ?‍♀️? How's your day?!?!

I have been a nurse for almost 22 years, 13 of them as a school nurse. There are plenty of days that I long to be doing something else, like something else entirely but at this point, I'm staying right where I am. My husband is a teacher, my daughter is out of school, and my son is in High School. I would be crazy to leave now. Plus, I'm not really sure what I want to do when I grow up ?

Thank you all! I received specific orders and have everything in place and ready. No reinsert here either.

I have a student with a new g-tube. This is my first go with one in the school setting and I'm trying to be sure I have all of my legal ducks in a row. What has been your experience with what we can and cannot do if the tube were to be accidentally pulled out or dislodged? I'm hearing both reinsert and don't. Any help you can throw my way would be greatly appreciated. I'm very hesitant to attempt to reinsert. Very.

I have a parent wishing for their student to receive a supplemental medication during school hours. Do you administer these, if the proper paperwork is in place?

I'm here, just limited on being able to check in! I'm back for my 13th year as a school nurse, 21st year as a nurse. I must say this has been the most overwhelming year, to date, and I'm exhausted. I'm not planning on leaving any time soon, but the thought of retirement sure sounds nice right about now ?

Thank you all!

Our students had the choice of attending a full 5 days or doing everything online. Those virtual learners are still enrolled and considered active students. I'm not sure what to do with them as far as the vision and hearing screenings go. Have you all considered this yet, and if so, what's your plan? Can we ask them to see their physician for screenings or do we just document them as online students and call it done?

I do not accept 3rd party reports. Period.

My thoughts exactly!

I am getting a tshirt made that says, "Not every bump and bruise requires and ice pack." I say this 12443775543235 times each day ?

I only do IHPs for those students that have medications/rescue medications to be dosed during school hours.
