  1. Dress Codes for School

    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...
  2. Dress Codes for School

    We wear uniforms too, and I'm glad. I agree though, that dress codes overwhelming punish girls/women for exceedingly stupid
  3. Tailoring resume for school nursing

    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...
  4. Your thoughts on ice....

    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...
  5. Full moon

    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...
  6. Full moon

    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...
  7. Random Thoughts: School Nurses

    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...
  8. Full moon

    I feel like the last two weeks have been crazy. Can the full moon last two

  11. Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

    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...
  12. Is it 3, yet?

    Every have those days where you just want to shut the door, shut the lights, and put your head down? Yeah, I'm having one of those days. It's Friday, people! Stay in class, pay attention, and go home...
  13. Is it 3, yet?

    Boo, I'm sorry, that sucks. Good luck on the audition though! What's it

    Thanks everyone! I had my lunch, and am feeling a little better now. I know you all could make me feel

    So true. Just... so
  19. When School Nurses Are Required

    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,...
  20. What Kind of SN are You ?

    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,...
  21. unhappy parents

    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...
  22. Ridiculous things. This is a new one one me.

    It's crazy what's expected some times. I'm glad you're following up on that dosing
  23. Cough Drops/ OTCs

    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...

    Can I just make all my teachers put your attachment as their background
  25. Epic excuse

    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...
