  1. Immunization Compliance

    KKEGS replied to RNTexas13's topic in School

    Honestly it sounds like you have tried every thing short of sending a carrier pigeon to those parents. If you are a school that does exclusions then get your principal to make calls on the day you...

    Phone triage? My sister just started her first job as an RN and she is doing phone triage with a clinic. She is hoping to get into a hospital at some point but has a family and needs what she can...

  6. Anyone ever quit school nursing?

    KKEGS replied to mag426's topic in School

    This is just my opinion based on my experience and personal situation so take it for what it's worth. I left the hospital (NICU) because I was burned out, tired of working nights, weekends and...

    KKEGS replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    I had this problem last year at my elementary school as well and my health aide and I did send an email to the teachers with some problem solving advice and bandaids. It also served to make them...

  12. NICU crafts/scrapbooking

    KKEGS replied to OnTheSearch's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We take the foot prints of all of our babies and make a LOVE sign for the parents where the babies feet form the V in LOVE. For holidays we do other crafts but it's very hit or miss. Some nurses...

  13. Fleas

    KKEGS posted a topic in School

    Anyone dealt with them? Got a policy regarding them? On an unrelated note, how do I search just the School Nurses board for a topic? I like to look and see if anyone has asked a question before I...

  14. Peanut Allergy and Recess

    KKEGS replied to nurseshajwani87's topic in School

  16. Can NNP's work anywhere else outside of NICU?

    KKEGS replied to Robins19's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I have struggled with this myself and was at a crossroads last summer as to whether or not I should start applying to NNP programs or explore other specialties before I made that big leap. One of the...

  17. No insulin at school

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Yep. The parent of the student who belongs to the ADHD meds was understanding and just said, "It happens." The other student, the one who received the wrong med, is non English speaking so a...

  18. No insulin at school

    KKEGS posted a topic in School

    So how do you handle an angry parent that insists she dropped off extra insulin at school but we have no sign of it? I have to call her tomorrow and don't want to say anything that makes her...

  19. New student with T1D- mom no-showing to our meetings

    KKEGS replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Ugh. Boundaries. Some people don't have them. I insist on keeping my work and personal lives separate and that goes for who gets my personal phone number. I've never been asked to text but have...

  20. No insulin at school

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I did speak with her. She was upset but reasonable. After hearing the entire story I do think the LPN in the health office accidentally threw it away or somehow misplaced it. Mom requested that we...

    KKEGS replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

  24. Mental Pep Talks

    KKEGS replied to WineRN's topic in School

    Yep. Any time I have to talk with an angry parent. I really hate confrontation. I have to return a phone call this afternoon to an angry mom who insists that she dropped off insulin last week and...

  25. These parents are killing me

    KKEGS replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    That was my take on the situation but our lead nurse advised me to just let it go. It was kind of one of those pick-your-battle situations and she usually when it involved a field trip, which of...
