  1. Budget cuts=No school nurse?????

    Do you keep track of how many students you see, secure care for, do vision screenings for, etc? Every nurse should be doing this to help prove the need for our
  2. Student strip searched at school...

    I'm pretty strict over medications, but do not think I would have participated in this!!!
  3. Thank you for posting this. I'll forward it to my peers and
  4. Inaccurate Vital Signs- no one cares

    If they continue to ignore your concerns, bring it up to risk management. If a patients medications are changed or their course of care is altered because of a false reading, that's a big issue. If it...
  5. Bummed...I think I have MRSA

    I would disagree. If you keep any drainage covered (HELLO! It's your groin, shouldn't be a problem), you should be able to work (unless it's on your hand or something). I would call and bug the crap...
  6. Cat bite update...

    The cat got away from animal control. Nice. It was a stray, no way to know if it was infected, he (animal control officer) said "it didn't have any symptoms of rabies". Cats can shed the virus for 5...
  7. Are elementary students allowed to carry pedialyte in school

    Better question- What does she need pedialyte
  8. Are elementary students allowed to carry pedialyte in school

    I wouldn't think so. I'm compare it to giving a student gatorade. If they make a big deal out of it, have him go get her some gatorade
  9. To all the mothers: Day Care Advice (long)

    Dept. of social services. Our local DSS includes the stuff for kids, adults, elderly,
  10. Death....by cheese

    I almost spit out my slice of parmesean (spelling?) that I am eating with my salad for
  11. Death....by cheese

    I think I would have been dead a long time ago if you could die from cheese. THose lil' mini blubell's and brie would have had me long
  12. To all the mothers: Day Care Advice (long)

    Also check with DSS and see what kind of services that have to help you pay for childcare since you'll be in school full time. A friend here used a program through DSS to pay for daycare for her son...
  13. To all the mothers: Day Care Advice (long)

    My three year old has been in daycare since she was 6 weeks old. I love it, she loves it. 1- Don't set up an appointment, just go. Health/food inspectors don't make appointments, you shouldn't either...
  14. " If you don't pick up your child NOW I'm calling 911.

    Did your supervisor not offer to come check out the student also? I'm not doubting your judgement, but our nurses that have health assistants will try and come to the school if 911 is being called...
  15. Resume's

    My husband and I have interviews for different nursing positions this Friday. I told him yesterday "I need to fix up my resume". I had one, and we got a new computer, so I need to redo it. I asked him...
  16. Resume's

    Thanks guys! That is what I thought too. It's not like it used to be when I first start (a mere 4 years ago) when you applied for the job and unless it was very specialized, you got it. There are...
  17. A cat...

    A cat just ran into our gym and bit one of my students. Animal control has already been out and got it. Things you don't expect to see everyday. Sending him to his PMD for abx and rabies vaccine. Cat...
  18. A cat...

    I wanted to add- I don't think he grabbed the cat with malicious intent. He's a kind student, just doesn't think things through all the way before acting. I think he had planned to take the cat...
  19. A cat...

    Update: Provoked. Figures. Cat was hiding behind the bleachers, came running out, student went against teachers orders and grabbed the cat and said "It's just a cat". Cat laid into his arm.
  20. I could cry....

    I've got another student who thinks she is pregnant. I can counsel until I go blue in the face- this is the second pregnancy scare for her this year. She's only in 9th grade. I don't use this term...
  21. Having a hard time with less hygienic patients

    Regardless of WHY they haven't bathed, and no matter how compassionate the nurse might be, it doesn't make the smell any less tolerable. Agreed. We had bottles of the peppermint oil also. Tent a...
  22. I also bought a program. It has a template I use to for Word. It automatically puts everything where it is supposed to (spacing, font, etc...) so I can focus on the material instead. I aced my last...
  23. TNCC

    I really enjoyed TNCC. Full of information. Not sure how much has changed since I took it (it's a four year recert, so I'm not due to recert until next year). I don't remember at this point how the...
  24. Is nepotism alive and well??

    Yes, yes it is. One of the reasons I left bedside where I worked before my current job. I couldn't get a daytime position. I was told for months there were no positions. I was mighty confused when...
  25. Complaint of the day

    Usually "something bit me" involves me sending them to their PMD cause at this age group, it's usually an
