  1. Calling 911

    DEgalRN replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    You're fine! You also have to remember you're in a school. There are going to be times that you may need to call even if they're not "emergencies" simply because you don't have the ability to handle...

  2. Second guessing myself

    DEgalRN replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    I'm not sure I would have done the same thing, but, I understand why you did, especially with the back story. I'm not allowed to leave campus, so I wouldn't have to worry about transporting a student...

  3. Would you have called?

    DEgalRN replied to bluebonnetrn's topic in School

    I would not have called. She didn't come back after you advised her to if the pain continued, and her initial exam did not show anything out of the ordinary. Let dad whine a little, but you didn't...

  4. I really want to thank...

    DEgalRN posted a topic in School

    the person who told me about alcohol/water in a zip lock bag for ice packs. (Did you like my click bait! :)) I'm almost certain it was someone on this board! At the beginning of the year I splurge...

  5. I really want to thank...

    DEgalRN replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    Oh, boo. That sucks! Luckily I haven't run into the problem with them doing anything weird with the ice packs. I definitely see my share of kids doing dumb things to try and get to the nurse, but I...

  6. I really want to thank...

    DEgalRN replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    I use a little 3oz cup and do one of rubbing alcohol and 2 of

  7. We knew it was coming but it still sucks

    DEgalRN replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    I'm so sorry. Many good thoughts to you and her

  8. C'Mon Now!

    DEgalRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Kid comes in because he bite his cheek and there was a "bit of flesh hanging off" that he didn't like. (PS, no I didn't see this mysterious flesh.) Was actually very much in disbelief that I...

  9. Have you been given a raise every year?

    DEgalRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I'm on the teacher's contact. So I do get yearly raises. A year or two before I started they took a pay cut, but that's not likely to happen again, at least this

  10. We've had a student death also

    DEgalRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I'm so sorry.

  11. Another student death

    DEgalRN replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    I'm so sorry. ::many hugs:: Take care of yourself during this

  12. Does this fall under "my job"?

    DEgalRN replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    Yeah, pretty much this. Being "unmanageable" while unmedicated, is no different from being "unmanageable" with no prescribed meds. Class management, not

  13. Bypassing Nurse? HELP!

    DEgalRN replied to SWimbish's topic in School

    Ill students are generally kept in my office until a ride arrives. Occasionally I will have a student wait in class, but I let the main office know when I do that. So, usually the office will call...

  14. Tired of certain teachers

    DEgalRN replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    I'm sorry that you had a rough day. When everything just piles on, it can feel overwhelming. And I'll be honest, I'm livid on your behalf about the losing your pumping session! It's one thing to...

  15. NO MORE SNOW DAYS!!!

    DEgalRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I'm super excited about some snow days this week! :) We've only had one so far. And I want to take my 3 year old sledding! I can totally see why, with as many as you've had, that you wouldn't want...

  16. I don't want ibuprofen...

    DEgalRN posted a topic in School

    I only take Motrin. Sorry kid, I only have

  17. Standardized Testing Week!

    DEgalRN replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    I love testing weeks! Unless they're dying, they don't get out of the

  18. I don't want ibuprofen...

    DEgalRN replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    By the time the kids go through 4 years with me they will know acetaminophen is Tylenol and ibuprofen is Advil! I don't care if they learn anything else in their high school careers!

  19. Office location

    DEgalRN replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    2nd floor, corner of the school, above the gym. Second floor is not the most convenient, but I have a bathroom attached, so I think that's why I got this room. I don't mind being further from the...

  20. They are trying to send ME home!

    DEgalRN replied to WineRN's topic in School

    I get the, "are you going home?" question whenever I look a little under the weather, but that's probably because there's the mythical chance that the school will close early if they can't get a...

  21. I don't want ibuprofen...

    DEgalRN replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    At least they admit that it's the same thing, if only generic. This kid would not believe me that Motrin and Ibuprofen were the same

  22. No subs and I'm sick!

    DEgalRN replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    It took me having to call off last year and the school CLOSING (long story, but they ended up with an early dismissal because they could not find a sub) for my admins to get hooked up with an agency...

  23. Other jobs you do at work?

    DEgalRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Our counselor is only here 3 days a week. I handle the other 2 days, plus his overflow. I also handle our website. And I've also handled some admin things, like waiting with disciple issues while...

  24. C'Mon Now!

    DEgalRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Teenager: The sports director wants me to ask you if I can play basketball with a fractured finger. Me: No. Teen: What if I tape it? Me: No Teen: What if I use A LOT of tape. Me: No. Teen: What if the...

  25. When is your Spring Break

    DEgalRN replied to 1mrsbs's topic in School

    April 14th - 21st. March is going to be terrible... no days off. So
