    Supernrse01 replied to LACA's topic in School

    I'm assuming that your office and clinic are two different rooms? Maybe I'm misunderstanding but, germs are everywhere. What are you doing when you go to the mall, the grocery store, etc... I worked...

    Supernrse01 posted a topic in School

    That just about sums up my day. How many weeks until summer vacation again??? I have one teacher that is literally going to be the end of me. WHY WHY WHY??? She is our LD/BD teacher and I truly think...

    ... anonymous phone calls reporting head lice? Last year, I had a family member of 2 of my students call to report that the students were "crawling" with head lice. I checked them and one did indeed...

  12. How do you handle...

    Supernrse01 replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    I did check the students this time, both of which were completely nit/lice free. I will not entertain that anonymous report again; however. Lots of time spent pulling kids from class and them missing...

  13. School Nurse fired for alleged comment made about students

    Supernrse01 replied to safarirn's topic in School

    I agree... she shouldn't have said what she said but from the article, I think that she was saying the abusing parents/guardians should be euthanized not the kids. Sad situation all the way

    I don't mess with braces. I have wax for kids to use but if they come in with broken appliances then it's an automatic phone call home. Just not comfortable messing with

    Supernrse01 posted a topic in School

    I love it when parents call the school to complain that I didn't call them to let them know their child had a "stomach ache" First of all, if I called every parent to notify of this complaint, I would...

  16. Am I hard of hearing?

    Supernrse01 replied to Flare's topic in School

    Or how about the students who walk in and say... "My stomach" My foot" "My head" I always say, yep you have one... what's the problem?

  17. Who's ready for Spring Break??? (this is a vent)

    Supernrse01 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    We are probably not going to get our Spring Break becasue of snow days. We have to use Spring Break as make-up days.

    Supernrse01 posted a topic in School

    My stomach is literally in knots right now... I received a fax, yesterday, stating that our school had been randomly chosen for review of immunization records. I have about 150 7th graders, 13 of...

    Supernrse01 replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    The student is immunized. Mumps not real prevalent around here but we do have a well-integrated community so it is entirely possible that she could have been exposed. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the...
