    DEgalRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

  4. What do you document...

    DEgalRN replied to Bevp's topic in School

    Me too! I do get some in and out for band aid or feminine products too, and I try to document them, but I don't worry too much if I don't if I'm working on some one else. Otherwise, I try and...

    DEgalRN replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

  7. What's on Your Walls?

    DEgalRN replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

  12. Who do you order your School Health supplies from?

    DEgalRN replied to Bevp's topic in School

    We have a contract with school health and a local compounding pharmacy for OTC meds. I really just buy everything off amazon and get reimbursed though. It's significantly cheaper and I don't mind...

  13. I made a mistake... anyone left?

    DEgalRN replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    I absolutely understand the feeling! It's so hard to know when to call and when not to. And every parent is different in when they want to be notified about something! You did the best you could...

  14. C'Mon Now!

    DEgalRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I am not a walk in clinic! Do not wait for me outside my door because you act like I am a walk in clinic. And you most assuredly do not get to "do your hair" because you ran out of time this morning...

  20. "I stepped on Poo"

    DEgalRN replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    I'm terrible at fixing them too. I have the small screwdrivers though, so I'll let students come and try for about 10 minutes to fix it themselves. But, I have teenagers. If I had younger kids,...

    DEgalRN replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    I had a 10th grader who, how do I put this delicately, had some flatulence that wasn't just gas. Apparently there was a small stain in his underwear and he was freaking out. I mean legitimately loud...
