I agree, but what I've seen is that girls are held to a standard that boys are not. (Girls shouldn't show bra straps, but boys are "allowed" to walk around with their boxers showing. And, being...

How long have you been a nurse? I wasn't getting any call backs until I meet the minimum years required, but I didn't realize why I hadn't getting calls until in an interview they mentioned that...

I'm pretty stingy honestly. (A student complained to a teacher I didn't give them out enough, and why was I hoarding them because they belong to the school and not to me! ) I have the reusable gel...
Well, maybe if mom had taken the kid to get evaluated for a concussion after the head injury 3 days ago we wouldn't have to worry about if confusion is a symptom of the possible undiagnosed concussion...
I got a call from a parent who called me a liar (several times) because her child told her I did something I didn't. Just because you messed up in the care of your child doesn't mean that you get to...
How do the students know everything, and yet don't actually know (believe?) that I don't carry cough drops despite me and the teachers telling them? And me not actually having them or handing them...
I am sure this has been said already in this thread. :) I just had a student in with an small, raised, itchy pink bump. And she had one on her leg, but it's OK, cause it's gone now. A bug bite, you...

I'm in a small charter school with a similar demographic. Luckily, my state simply requires that every public school have a full-time BSN on staff (minimally). Like OldDude said, it's state specific,...
Depends on the day, really. I'm still feeling out what's appropriate and not in terms of how much time does a stomachache really need to rest? And, do you reeeealllly need that ice pack? And,...
I had no idea what I was getting into when I started. And the last nurse was, let's just say, unorganized. In being completely honest, I'm probably not up to code on things myself. But, now that I...
I don't carry cough drops. They're considered a med and I don't have parental permission or a standing order for them. While they are legitimate, really, most students aren't using them...
I read GF as girlfriend and was very, very, very confused. Then I figured grandfather. And it made a little more sense. I swear, though, just run your laps and do your push-ups! Getting your blood...
