  1. 911 Debrief

    Supernrse01 replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    I think you did exactly what you should have done based on your assessment findings and the way things were playing out. You did what you could to help get things under control and those things didn't...

  2. Christmas gifts?

    Supernrse01 replied to jessicamcg29's topic in School

    We draw names here in the elementary office and then I will generally get a little trinket or something small for the other administrators in the other 2 buildings. No way I could do something for all...

  3. How do YOU check for lice?

    Supernrse01 replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    I'm sorry- I just realized I never really answered your question :) I normally start with the hotspot down the back center of their head and then behind their ears. I do quick checks, but will take a...

  4. How do YOU check for lice?

    Supernrse01 replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    So, why are you to blame and why is it your responsibility to check her every single day? What is the parent's role in all of this? Seems to me if the child was being checked at home, then if you did...

  5. Stress

    Supernrse01 replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    I love it when I walk by the conference room, where admins are having lunch, and they loudly complain about how busy they are and yada yada yada... Oh really?! Well at least you are getting a moment...

  6. Child bitten by another child

    Supernrse01 replied to 100kids's topic in School

    I call to report the injury but I am very careful to let the parent know I am just the messenger. I let the parent know my assessment findings and then let them know that the administrators are...

  8. Caught my first louse today!

    Supernrse01 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    So what's the story now? Is Homeboy still kicking it in his med cup crib or did he decide life isn't worth living if he can't be living it up in a head full of

  9. Anyone work in two different buildings?

    Supernrse01 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I work 3 of the 4 schools in our district. My "homebase" is our 3rd-5th grade elementary but I travel to the Middle and High schools everyday too. I also carry a cell phone that the schools will use...

  10. Splinters - To remove or not to remove

    Supernrse01 replied to halohg's topic in School

    If it looks to be an easy removal, I will. If I can't get it, or it looks like removal will require minor surgery then I cover with a bandaid and send them on their merry

  11. Things that make me grumpy

    Supernrse01 replied to Flare's topic in School

    Kids coming in with splinters that they got on Saturday... It's Thursday. Kids complaining that their head has been itching for days but they keep forgetting to tell Mom. The kid with the bellyache...

  12. New to this school nurse thing but...

    Supernrse01 replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    LOL! Just wait... I have kids sent to me ALL THE TIME, to have flip flops fixed, holes in clothes repaired, glasses fixed, etc... They also send them in to use the phone for forgotten lunchboxes,...

  13. All was well until the end of the day

    Supernrse01 replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    All. The. Time. Hope today is

  14. What do you wear to work as a school nurse?

    Supernrse01 replied to verdeacres's topic in School

    I wear scrubs but I am toying with the idea of wearing some casual clothes every once in a while. Scrubs are comfy but they are so dang hot, and since Old Man Weather thinks it is still summer, I am...

  16. Everyone Super Busy ??

    Supernrse01 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    It has been NON-STOP in my clinics. Phone calls starting at 7:45, medications, dealing with these crazy immunizations for 7th and 12th, new seizure kids, bus driver trainings, etc... My list goes on...

  17. Vision/hearing

    Supernrse01 replied to Nurse.jen's topic in School

    I screen our Elementary kids during their library time, in a conference room that is in the library. That saves the time of them walking to see me and keeps them all in one place! It takes a little...

  18. Immunizations

    Supernrse01 posted a topic in School

    These new Tdap and MCV4 requirements are about to make me lose my mind. Trying to get these things turned in is next to impossible. As of today, I am missing almost 150 records between my 7th and 12th...

  19. Immunizations

    Supernrse01 replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Sounds like my plan of action, as well. A letter went home end of March early April, with a reminder letter mailed home with final report cards. Then another letter was sent out at the beginning of...

  20. Immunizations

    Supernrse01 replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Thanks Far! That's the way I'm looking at it also. I feel like I have given them PLENTY of warning and time to have this taken care

  21. Immunizations

    Supernrse01 replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    The letter I sent home today gave a deadline with the advice that if we do not have the documentation by that date, their student will no longer be allowed to attend classes. This is the first year...

  22. Immunizations

    Supernrse01 replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    We do have one but the physicians' offices aren't required to use it, so it is a hit or miss for me with that one. I have used it to search for the missing records in both classes and have found...

    Supernrse01 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

  24. School nurse delays giving epi pen

    Supernrse01 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    What is dangerous about following the emergency plan upon assessment? If a student came to me, telling me they had ingested an allergen and their plan and doctor's orders were to give Benadryl first,...

  25. School nurse delays giving epi pen

    Supernrse01 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    But it's not always the first line of defense. I have several students that, according to their Emergency plan, are to get Benadryl first. Obviously, that stands to go by the wayside, based on the...
