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

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Yeah I don't know if it's worth complaining about since I am leaving. I am really hoping my new district is managed better. I think it will help that only nurses (LPNs and RNs) staff the health...

  2. Lice policy?

    KKEGS replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    We changed our policy a year ago to be in line with what the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Association of School Nurses recommends. Therefore, we do not exclude for nits. I will...

  4. Pills in Baggies...

    KKEGS posted a topic in School

    KKEGS replied to Amethya's topic in School

  8. Doctor's notes

    KKEGS replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    I just had my first fake note today! No letter head and when I called the clinic to confirm I was told the doctor whose signature they forged does not treat children. Seriously parents. If you're...

  9. Did I Just Roll My Eyes Out Loud?

    KKEGS replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    I had one yesterday come in holding a Kleenex to her nose. I asked to see how bad it was. She pulled the Kleenex away. Nothing. Not a single drop.

    KKEGS replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    For real! What school has a bath tub?!? I suppose I could run him through the rinse cycle on our washing machine. Ooooo or send him through the dish washer in the

  11. I just can't!

    KKEGS replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Haven't hit 100 in one day yet. Our record is 80 in one day. Our norm is 55 to 60 a day. This week we've been hitting the upper 60s all week. Everyone is just

    KKEGS replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

  13. dumb staff

    KKEGS replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    I got to piss off a sub a few months ago by telling him no, I cannot administer your chemo at work. Seriously. He was irate but my principal backed me up and said, "She knows the rules. She sets...

    KKEGS replied to babyjoyce's topic in School

    "I think you're gonna live." "Try to power through the day, buddy." "You get out of school in 15 minutes." "Who is your teacher?" Recently got to use this line, "My office is not a snack bar."...

  15. Please take care of your little one rant

    KKEGS replied to WineRN's topic in School

  20. 504 meetings?

    KKEGS replied to shsnurse's topic in School

    If something needs to be done beyond what would be provided to any student attending the school then a 504 may be warranted. I do have 504s for a couple of kids with severe peanut allergies. I don't...
