  1. I nearly lost my cool this morning...

    I basically just told her that I didn't appreciate coming in to find said critter taped to my desk, in the middle of all of my things. I explained to her that this was not a nursing issue, or even a...

  6. Bed Bug Panic - Help

    I'd think twice about sending the letter home to parents, even if it's just for students in that grade level. If the bug wasn't professionally identified as a bedbug, then you are opening the main...

    Happy School Nurse's Day to all of my wonderful colleagues! You guys
  11. School hasn't even started yet...

    ... and I've seen 2 students, from the same classroom. TWO. In the grand scheme of things, 2 is a wonderfully low number, but still, I saw the first kiddo at 7:55. The second shortly after, and both...

  15. Grants?

    I am currently shopping around for new vision screening equipment and have hit a wall where funding is concerned. I am being told that we do not have the money to purchase new equipment....
  16. Tuesday's agenda

    Why is administration allowing a mom, nurse or not, dictate whether or not you perform mass screenings? Do they allow parents to come in and tell the teachers they feel something is necessary in the...

    1st Grader: I feel like something is stuck in my throat, and it's a little sore. Me: Asking all of the normal questions, including, have you had a cough or a stuffy nose? 1st grader: Well yes, back...
  18. Is school nursing stressful?

    It's a different kind of "stressful". I have worked in the hospital setting, the office setting, and now the school setting, and can promise you they all have their own unique stressors. When I first...
  19. Non compliant Diabetic Students

    I would absolutely involve the parents. I'm not convinced they are actually forgetting. I go through this frequently with my DM kiddos. They all hit a point where they don't want to differ from their...

  23. Angry Teachers

    I have found that the best solution for me in these situations is to let the teacher know that from that point forward, they can assume care for the student in question, meaning they can carry out the...
  24. Question about students who self-carry medications for Anaphylaxis

    At our schools, the students only self-carry the Epi. If they have an order for Benadryl, that is kept in the clinic. The thinking is, the reaction isn't urgent enough to require the Epi, so they have...
