  1. Annual Report of Immunizations

    KKEGS replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Yep, happened to me this year too. ONE single shot was "missing" somewhere. Didn't take me too long to find

  2. We've all been venting

    KKEGS replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    I am SO sorry. He sounds like a nightmare to work for. I wouldn't meet with him alone

  3. Adjusting to Rotating Shifts

    KKEGS replied to Bjenk24's topic in General Nursing

    I worked a rotating day/night shift for 2 years after working a straight night shift for 1 year. We did 6 week increments. I think I did okay initially but the longer I did it the harder switching...

  4. What if there had been an ACTUAL emergency?!? Ugh!

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I know! This kind of stuff really ticks me

  5. UAP doing CIC and tube feeding in school

    KKEGS replied to RN-DC's topic in School

    In our district the RNs are also the ones who do all the training. I do a CIC once a day for one of my students as well. We've spoken with the student's mother in the past about training our health...

  6. Certified Nurses and Teacher Contracts

    KKEGS replied to kmazur2's topic in School

    This is my first year as a school nurse so here's how they do it in my district. Yes, I'm on the teacher's contract. Which means when the teachers are there I'm there. I have 2 prep days before the...

    KKEGS replied to mom to many's topic in School

    KKEGS replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    My daughters wanting to get up 15 minutes earlier today so we could have extra snuggle time before school. A scrapbook retreat weekend starting tonight with just me and my mom. Getting to see my...

  9. Do you enjoy being a school nurse?

    KKEGS replied to walkingonsunshine's topic in School

    After not being sure that I was really going to like doing this whole School Nurse thing I'm happy to say that I really am starting to love it. I'm getting to know the kids and even the frequent...

  10. THIS is what bugs me

    KKEGS replied to tining's topic in School

    This totally happened to me one year! I spent Christmas Eve with my family and my daughter (2 1/2 at the time) ended up vomiting at the end of the day. Took her home right away and she kept puking...

  11. Totally Off Topic: Thanksgiving Menu

    KKEGS replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We're doing Thanksgiving Day at my in-laws and Black Friday at my parents' house. My in-laws are always changing it up so it's a surprise what we'll be having. There's always turkey though. The...

  12. Charting Vision Results

    KKEGS replied to Volleygram's topic in School

    We use Skyward and double chart as well. It's so annoying. Our lead district nurse is trying to get us paper free and is having push back from the long timers who "don't trust

  13. Come on Blizzard!

    KKEGS replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    We've been having such gorgeous weather though! I'm not ready for snow! Our districts here in Minnesota never close anyway! I remember one winter when the GOVERNOR had to close the schools for a...

  14. Front office help?

    KKEGS replied to Nurse.jen's topic in School

    I do not help out the front office. We have a full time secretary and an office helper and a copy room helper. And my school is smaller than yours. Is there seriously no one else to

  15. Ah Mondays...(vent coming)

    KKEGS posted a topic in School

    A full office of kids wanting to be sent home the second they get off the bus. A frequent flier whose mother is fed up with her as well. And a kid who has missed the vast majority of the last 9...

  16. Teachers will believe anything

    KKEGS replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    I am amazed that teachers can't identify acne especially when they work in a middle school. I had a teacher ask for me to check a "rash" on a student's chin that looked infected and may be...

  17. Measuring Output

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    We decided to go with one of those urinals that men use in the hospital. The kind that always reminded me of a small, misshapen milk jug. :) That way we can just drain straight into it, measure and...

  18. Measuring Output

    KKEGS posted a topic in School

    I have a 3rd grade student with spina bifida and neurogenic bladder who requires a straight cath 4 times a day, one of which is at school after lunch. Last year the nurse recorded the output that she...

  19. Ah Mondays...(vent coming)

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I had a near miss in the NICU once with a precious little baby who pooped and it whistled by my ear like a bullet but didn't get me! Never again did I position myself where a baby could hit me! I...

  20. Ah Mondays...(vent coming)

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I asked what fluids she received. They didn't know. Also have you tried Benedryl? No, it makes her sleepy. Oh well in that case let me get my bottle of magic potion over here and that will make it...

  21. New to High school Nursing

    KKEGS replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    I am in the process of signing with a staffing agency to work in my old NICU as a local travel nurse. When I quit the hospital they weren't letting anyone go casual or per diem so this was my only...

    KKEGS replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    Welcome! I'm also new this year to school nursing (elementary and middle school) and also left a NICU position. There are few of us former NICU nurses

    KKEGS replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    We use the AT&T Language Line in my district. Not sure what all is involved in getting it set up for your district but it's a place to start. In a pinch I use our ELL teacher to translate. I...
