  3. Last day at my school

    I hope everything goes well for you at your new school. :) I am on my second-to-last day as a substitute here at my school! They hired a new permanent nurse, and I am excited for staff and students...
  4. Last minute complaint

    I just had a little girl in here, backpack on, "I don't feel well." No temp, no nausea. "Honey, aren't you going home RIGHT NOW?" "Yes." "Then I think your best bet is to go

  8. Last minute complaint

    GO HOME! I want to shout this at almost everyone who walks through the door after two. I had one yesterday come in and tell me "my ankle hurts right here, I think it's my boot rubbing because they're...
  9. Last minute complaint

    Absolutely! I wouldn't want to drive a dizzy kid home, either. I thought that was a judicious decision on the driver's part. I just felt bad the poor kid was here waiting forever for her parent to...
  10. Last minute complaint

    Follow up to this... this girl came back to the clinic 2 minutes later and said, "She told me to lie down." I didn't know who "she" was, but one of the office admins asked me to call her mother for...
  11. Drug testing (before/during/after application?)

    I've also started calling out "YOU'RE WELCOME!!!" as the entitled ones wander off with their
  13. Starting Clinic Job!

    It's hard to study or prepare for a clinic job when your background is elsewhere. The suggestion for immunizations is spot-on - I found them a bit overwhelming - especially the pediatric vaccines....

  16. Applying for substitute school nurse job

    I'm currently a sub, and I wasn't interviewed either. I just applied, got fingerprinted, and suddenly was given access to all substitute opportunities in the entire district (including ALL classes...
  17. Cya basics

    I've seen a couple of people say they will chart "will continue to.." and I have to say, this is a big no-no, and is the OPPOSITE of CYA. You can NEVER chart something that you will do in the future,...
  18. minor complaints

    I get a lot of this kind of baloney, too. I've also noticed it seems to be the same teachers allowing the same kinds of complaints to come down here most days. Matter of fact, I saw a teacher in the...
  19. The dreaded topic...lice

    Hmm, I'm concerned now about the prospect of whole-class head checks (I've done one or two). I'm in an awkward position of being a long-term substitute (I won't be here past March), so I'm hesitant...

    I did get this as sort of a gag gift for my husband last year (I just needed something else in his stocking at Christmas) - and then I tried it and I was really impressed. If you want a good laugh,...

    For real though, have you ever TRIED Poopourri? That stuff is AMAZING. Two squirts in the can before you go, and it smells like you just crapped out a lovely spring bouquet. Amazon.com -...
  23. Gifts from students

    So, the holiday treats and little gifts are rolling in this morning - not so much for me, the sub, but lots for other office staff - what are some favorites you've been given over the years? As a...
  24. Pertussis

    Eek! I just found out that some office staff with whom I work closely is at home with her children who have pertussis. I'm pregnant, had my last TDaP in 2012, and not far along enough yet to have my...
  25. Not nursing, but..

    I need to bounce something off of a group of people, and you, my new friends, seem like a good group of reasonable people. :) Sorry this is off topic! I was dog walking with my neighbor today, and a...
