    KKEGS replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    I'm still here! Last day with the kids is Thursday and then I have to work on Friday to close my offices. At my middle school we have to label all of our furniture for the custodians to put into...

  2. All in good fun?

    KKEGS replied to Nurse.jen's topic in School

    I get asked if I'm a real nurse too but I think it's because in some schools the "school nurse" isn't even a nurse but just a layperson who did a first aid and CPR class! I also work very part time...

    Hey there! I live in the Minneapolis/St Paul area AND I worked at a Level III NICU! :) I worked at Children's Minnesota on the St Paul campus for nearly 3 years. I did a 2 year new grad training...

    My principal at my middle school was a math teacher so she LOVES when people run numbers, make charts and graphs and share data.

    KKEGS replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    I saw 292 in my elementary school just last week alone! My health aide is diligent about entering every single visit no matter how minor but the one at my middle schools...isn't so our daily visit...

    KKEGS replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    My middle school is 8:05 to 3:01 and my elementary school is 9:15 until 3:40. I work 8 to 4 most days. Sometimes 7:30 to 3:30 if I need to get out a bit

  13. So fevers don't count on field day

    KKEGS replied to halohg's topic in School

    I've also noticed that kids who are too sick to come to school or on restrictions like no gym class make a miraculous recovery when a fun field trip is on the calendar.

  14. Probably leaving school nursing...

    KKEGS replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    I thought I'd be leaving at the end of this school year as well. I'm switching districts next year to see if that helps the situation. I will also be working in the same school my kids attend which...

  15. What is your dream job?

    KKEGS replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Honestly my dream job would be where I came from, the NICU BUT only as an 8 hour day shift with no weekends or holidays. :) I was a good 17 years away from that becoming a reality so here I am. I am...

  16. Do I ever get to be off duty? No, seriously?

    KKEGS posted a topic in School

    Why should I have to use up vacation time when I am doing work anyway? Took the day off to chaperone my daughter's last field trip of the year and was called and asked 1) how to deal with notifying...

  17. dumb staff

    KKEGS replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    Yeah that was our principal's take on it too. She thought maybe he shouldn't be on the sub list at this time. Not sure how it all shook out in the end. I haven't seen him lately. I hope he's

  18. Clorox and DFACS

    KKEGS replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I have filed 2 CPS reports this year. Neither resulted in an investigation. I can always file a report. Doesn't mean CPS actually does anything with it but I've always gotten an answer back letting...

  19. dumb staff

    KKEGS replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    I'm not really sure. He is quite elderly and a little shaky. I don't want to be ageist but I'm a little concerned that he is still working. He doesn't seem well. :'( Which obviously he isn't. He...

  20. Sharing Health Information with Teachers

    KKEGS replied to Schmidtnurse's topic in School

    I don't think teachers or aides need to know why. What difference does it make? I would have said exactly what you said and if they persisted remind them that that is private health information and...

  21. Louse or Tick?

    KKEGS posted a topic in School

    Student found a tiny (and I mean TINY) bug on his paper in class. Teacher put it on a piece of tape and sent it down to the health office along with the student. Student is concerned it's lice...

  24. Louse or Tick?

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

  25. Clorox and DFACS

    KKEGS replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I remember giving diluted bleach baths to a patient of mine in the hospital with HORRIBLE eczema. Poor kid. We'd cover him in wet gauze like a little mummy and then put him in fleece pjs to
