  1. Staff Vaccines

    KKEGS replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    Um I would be passing that kind of hostility on to an admin. ? No one, NO ONE, deserves to be treated like that! Especially someone who has basically no control over how this vaccine is rolled out....

  2. Got My Vaccine Yesterday

    KKEGS replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Got my first dose last Thursday. I also got the Moderna vaccine and had a pretty sore arm for about 36 hours but nothing else. School nurses were not scheduled to get vaccines this early on...

  3. What Has Been an Upside to Covid?

    KKEGS replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    My upsides have been a lot more time at home with my husband and 2 daughters. I also lost a dog this year (a 13 year old Australian Shepherd/English Springer Spaniel named Derby) and was so grateful...

  4. Anyone work only per diem with an agency?

    KKEGS posted a topic in Agency Nurses

    Does anyone here only work per diem with an agency as their only source of income? I currently work as a full time school nurse and I really hate it. I left 3 years in a Level III NICU to take the...

  5. I'm baaaaaack! :)

    KKEGS posted a topic in School

    Hello fellow school nurses! Remember me? ? Well I am back after a year away from the school and just doing per diem agency work in the hospital. Agency work has not been as regular as I had hoped...

  6. Peak flow meters

    KKEGS replied to RNTadaaaa's topic in School

    I have never used one either to be honest. If a student comes in complaining of SOB I listen to their lungs and give them their inhaler no matter what I hear. As an asthmatic myself if a student...

  7. Summer 2018 Plans?

    KKEGS posted a topic in School

    Not sure if we have started this type of thread yet this year or not but...what are you doing this summer? Working, traveling, drinking beer on the beach (OldDude)? I will be chauffeuring my 2...

  8. The school board closed our school...

    KKEGS posted a topic in School

    The school board voted 5-1 to close our Montessori elementary school. We are heartbroken. Listening to the sobs of those children in the meeting last night was one of the worst things I've ever...

  9. Last monday

    KKEGS replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    My last Monday alarm clock as well!!! Can't. Even.

  10. The school board closed our school...

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Our school was so small that there were only 6 teaching positions. 4 of the teachers have tenure and will be reassigned to other elementary schools in the district. 2 of our teachers did not have...

  11. The school board closed our school...

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    This seems to be the hardest on the adults. The kids have actually done amazingly well today. Extra counselors came from the other schools to be on hand just in case. Otherwise we kept the school...

  12. What is your academic calendar and what state are you in?

    KKEGS replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    MN Public School District 2017-2018 Staff Dates (8/14 to 5/24); Student Dates (8/21 to 5/23) 2018-2019 Staff Dates (8/27 to 6/7); Student Dates (9/4 to

  13. Spider bites

    KKEGS replied to imaneedmycoffeefirst89's topic in School

    I would probably send home any child that presented with those symptoms! Glad the parents took him in and got him some

  14. Seriously?!?!

    KKEGS replied to SuperNintendoChalmers's topic in School

    You guys are killing me today!

  15. Seriously?!?!

    KKEGS replied to SuperNintendoChalmers's topic in School

  16. School closures...

    KKEGS posted a topic in School

    Not of the snowy variety. But closing a school due to budget deficits. Our district received an email today that an item will be placed on the school board agenda for this week to discuss the...

  17. School closures...

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    UPDATE: For those who were following our whole saga with potentially closing an elementary school (the one my daughters attend) well...we're STILL waiting to find out. The original plan was for the...

  18. One of the nice things about working in a school

    KKEGS replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I totally agree MHDNURSE! I love how the beginning of the school year feels like a fresh start! And the end of the school year brings closure and a chance for relaxation and renewal. I love the...

  19. Summer 2018 Plans?

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I have a friend who goes to Haiti on medical mission trips. She has invited me but I feel like my kids are still too young for me to leave them for that long to go overseas. One day though! It's...

  20. Summer 2018 Plans?

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I love Lady Antebellum! Saw them in concert last summer. Really

  21. Privacy violation??

    KKEGS replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    We can't accept any orders from a chiropractor either. We're actually having a heck of a time with a poor kiddo dealing with chronic Lyme's disease. The traditional MDs he has seen don't believe in...

  22. I need a hug. <slightly off topic>

    KKEGS replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    I didn't take the traditional path either. I took night classes for 3 years while working full time and then having 2 babies and staying home with them! I started nursing school when I was 31. The...

  23. Privacy violation??

    KKEGS replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    Schools are a HIPAA covered entity when they bill Medicaid for nursing services rendered at school under the Third Party Billing system. But regular health records are covered under FERPA. I believe...

  24. Privacy violation??

    KKEGS replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    So take this information with a grain of salt because I am not an attorney BUT I think you may be okay here. Health records maintained by a school nurse are not covered by HIPAA because schools are...

  25. Happy National School Nurse's Day

    KKEGS replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I LOVE that idea! Next year!!! Uh oh though. This means we'll find out each other's real identities. Like unmasking
