    I have placed little cardboard hands on each bathroom door and beside the sink in the bathrooms. The hands say... "Did you remember to wash your

  2. Shoes for school clothes closets?

    Supernrse01 replied to caregiver1977's topic in School

    We ask the students to bring an extra pair of shoes with them, during the warmer months, if they will be wearing flip-flops or sandals. As fas as extra shoes, I have a few pair that the PTO donated...

  3. What did you find was the hardest to adjust being a school nurse?

    Supernrse01 replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

  6. Lice Policies/Help Please!

    Supernrse01 replied to dta815's topic in School

  7. What would you have done?

    Supernrse01 replied to Tina, RN's topic in School

    I would have contacted the parents first (of course after first aid had been administered) and then left it up to them to give the call to contact 911. If it wasn't an open fracture, pulses were good,...

  15. Do you keep an ongoing tally of visits?

    Supernrse01 replied to Tina, RN's topic in School

    I don't do this right now but have aplan for next year. I will have a clipboard that requests each student to sign into the clinic, when they arrive. Thinking this may help me keep track of the...

  16. Vent- Sending students to Health room minutes before dismissed to home

    Supernrse01 replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in School

    This is a HUGE complaint for me too... Sending a student to the clinic 10 minutes before the end of the day really leaves me very little wiggle room as far as contacting people and what not...

  17. What you wish you could say to the staff at your school

    Supernrse01 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    1) Broken flip flops are not something that I learned to deal with in Nursing school. 2)My office/clinic is not the free space to use to send the student who is misbehaving. I shouldn't have to deal...

  21. Is it worth the little pay?

    Supernrse01 replied to NurseMeganLPN's topic in School

    You mentioned the Nurse:patient ratio making you feel like you could lose your license. In most places, the nurse:student ratio is worse. I am the district nurse, with an assistant nurse. She is 1...

    Supernrse01 replied to danceluver's topic in School
