  1. Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

    DEgalRN replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    I'm so glad today is a PD

  2. Stop the insanity (AKA panic)

    DEgalRN replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    I'll often times ask if it's an emergency when I talk to teachers. I have to remind them that they have a list of what constitutes an emergency, and I'm not asking them to ask the student! Because...

  3. Detecting drug use in students

    DEgalRN replied to jesserpie's topic in School

    Are you able to share that form? We've had a couple of instances here with suspected drug use and we don't have any official forms related to my assessment and I think it would be helpful.

  4. Dress Codes for School

    DEgalRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    What about kneecaps? High School Senior Suspended On Last Day Of School Over Dress

  5. Dress Codes for School

    DEgalRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I don't agree with the implication that boys are simply "sneaking a peek" at girls who are dressed "provocatively." I do agree with your sentiment that people will look at something that's out of the...

  6. grrrrr!

    DEgalRN replied to txbootsy's topic in School

    You'd have 12? I'm impressed!

  7. School based health center

    DEgalRN replied to SchoolNursey's topic in School

    Ah, that makes sense. There's no school nurse triage with the school health centers here. I can see how having that be required would increase the visits, and that would be incredibly frustrating...

  8. part time acut care pedi

    DEgalRN replied to txbootsy's topic in School

    Probably not unless I was desperate whether it would be my sole job or in addition to my SN job. I hated 12 hours shifts with a passion. Kids, I would probably like better, but I still can't imagine...

  9. Diabetic student, help!

    DEgalRN replied to KSM-RN's topic in School

    How often do you communicate with the MD? Do you think it would beneficial to fax a copy of the BS, ketones, and insulin usage weekly to the doctor's office? I wonder if the family isn't being...

  10. School based health center

    DEgalRN replied to SchoolNursey's topic in School

    We have them in the school districts around me, but not in my school. I think they're a great idea here. Though they collect insurance, they don't charge the students anything (I'm not sure if they...

  11. Emergency Response Plan

    DEgalRN replied to Kittery's topic in School

    We have nothing official, and because of the size on my school and some other factors, I wasn't overly concerned. However, your point about after school sports is key. All our coaches are first aid...

  12. Do you disclose AN to coworkers

    DEgalRN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Nope, don't care to share. I mention internet forums, but nothing more

  13. Follow Up

    DEgalRN posted a topic in School

    How and when do you follow up about students who had more serious issues (basically the ones that you want to see evaluated either immediately or relatively soon)? I figure for younger kids, you...

  14. casts, braces, pe restrictions

    DEgalRN replied to CampNurse10's topic in School

    High school here - they still go to PE and "hang out" there, absolutely not in my office. Some times the PE teachers will work it out with the office for them to be office aids during their injury,...

  15. Gave my first epi-pen yesterday...

    DEgalRN replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    Woah, did she know she had an allergy to something she

  16. Advice please.....I have so much anxiety about this

    DEgalRN replied to donna88's topic in School

    I can understand why that would be concerning. Although most of us work alone, having a network we can contact is pretty important. Honestly, though, if she doesn't want you to reach out to other...

  17. Pledge of Allegiance?

    DEgalRN replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Yep, pledge and moment of silence every

  18. Pledge of Allegiance?

    DEgalRN replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    My office has a small flag, too. I stand even though I'm by myself too. Works to role-model behavior for the students,

  19. Dress Codes for School

    DEgalRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I'm tempted to bring the flying spaghetti monster to schools. I'm pretty sure it would like spaghetti strap

  20. New school disease & New treatment regimen

    DEgalRN replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    I don't carry mints. Or cough drops, because I'm a bad nurse,

  21. Dress Codes for School

    DEgalRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I don't think I was quite clear when I said we were setting our girls up for failure. I don't believe that explaining appropriate clothing choices is setting girls up for failure. I think society...

  22. Well...That was fun

    DEgalRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Way to jump back in! And it sounds like a man hunt for the pens is in order. That could be a fun welcome back

  23. New school disease & New treatment regimen

    DEgalRN replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    But only a stale saltine. Those are the ones that cure

  24. Dress Codes for School

    DEgalRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I honestly don't disagree with the sentiment that there's a time and a place for things (as much as I like to play devil's advocate). And honestly, I agree that short shorts, sheer clothing, and...

  25. Dress Codes for School

    DEgalRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I think there's more at stake than dress codes. I found this article fairly interesting, and I know that it is biased (but everything is on the internet): Every Reason Your School's Gendered Dress...
