Thank you!

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?!?!

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, thankfull...

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.

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...

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 p...

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

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 ...

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 al...

Thank you all!

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.

OLDDUDE!!!!!!! Thanks for stopping in to say Hi and giving us the words of encouragement! It was the pep talk I needed to hear. We miss you.

?‍♀️ Such a waste of time.

I don't send letters or do full classroom checks.

Any change in dosage requires an order for us here.

Hi all and welcome back! We've been in for a few weeks now but I haven't had a chance to pop in and say hello. Hope you are all having a wonderful start! I'm currently doing some research re: stocking Narcan in our school district. What are your tho...

Do you have students that use this as part of their DM management? If so, do you download the app on your phone, as well?

That's awesome, congratulations!! We transitioned several years ago, and while I still have some arguments, for the most part the teachers have given up fighting me ? In the beginning, I would just simple state our policy, spout out a few facts if I ...

We have "Bucket Fillers" here and students get treasure cards for actions recognized by teachers and staff here in our building- Going the extra mile for each other, holding doors, volunteering to help a student in need, etc... If they are awarded a ...

I came across this today while browsing my supply catalog and getting things ordered for next year. Any of you familiar with this? I would love to be able to utilize this, as we do not have facilities in place for me to dispose of medications that ar...

We don't allow our students to transport meds to or from school. A parent must drop it off and pick it up. Too much liability and worry about who may get their hands on it. Students that keep epi and inhalers in their possession have an entirely diff...
