  1. C'Mon Now!

    DEgalRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I seriously can't believe some of the parents. If you told your kid not to come to school because they're sick, don't let them come to school! You are still the adult, and you still know them better...

  2. School nurse and maternity leave

    DEgalRN replied to luvly189's topic in School

    And that's only if you qualify for FMLA in the first place! Small company, nope, part time, less than 1250 hours in a year, nope, haven't been at your job for a year, nope. And not all STDs cover...

  3. Not Enough Backup-CPS?

    DEgalRN replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    Good luck! You're doing the right

  4. Introduction

    DEgalRN replied to Baloo's topic in School

    Welcome!

  5. Could I be a high school nurse?

    DEgalRN replied to Fireflynurse's topic in School

    Good luck on your interview. A 1-1 nurse will be very different from a generalized school wide nurse. Is the position through the school or an agency? Is it just for care during school hours or on...

  6. Pizza parties, cupcakes, cookies, OH MY

    DEgalRN replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Dear parents/guardians, Please note that any food or drink brought into the school to be shared needs to have an ingredient list and nutritional information provided also. Due to dietary...

  7. Sports Physicals

    DEgalRN replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Our AD handles them. Although I have the copies of the blank ones. I get a copy if I need a yearly physical since they count for both. Parents are responsible for getting them on their

  8. Annie wants us to teach cursive....

    DEgalRN replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    I can only write my name in cursive. I learned cursive in school, but I never used it. I type everything now, and barely write anything out. My previous job was paper charting, and all my...

  10. Nurse vs Para

    DEgalRN replied to 117800's topic in School

    Until there is blood, vomit, or poop. Or broken

  11. Do you interact with students outside of the office?

    DEgalRN replied to Kittery's topic in School

    I don't really interact either. But I know my school would welcome it if I wanted to. Similar to the other posters, I have family commitments that take precedence (and I've noticed at my school that...

  12. Lets take attendance

    DEgalRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Welcome!

  13. Not Enough Backup-CPS?

    DEgalRN replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    Your principal is wrong. https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubPDFs/manda.pdf You don't need to have concrete proof to contact CPS. From what you said here I think you have a strong reasonable suspicion....

  14. Thankful for my "Co-Workers"

    DEgalRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Agreed. It's nice to know that I have somewhere I can come and ask "dumb" questions and people will actually answer them nicely!

  15. School nurse and maternity leave

    DEgalRN replied to luvly189's topic in School

    Lol, I think I'd like MA. I'm not sure my husband would

  17. How far does confidentiality go?

    DEgalRN replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    Depending on the kids, sometimes I give general information regarding injuries. Concussions require brain rest, so no electronics, no noisy or bright areas, more time to do assignments, etc. I'm not...

  18. Not Enough Backup-CPS?

    DEgalRN replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    That's such a rough situation, SnowyJ. You're doing the right thing though. Those kind of statements require an investigation, and one that your principal and counselor probably aren't trained to...

  19. School nurse and maternity leave

    DEgalRN replied to luvly189's topic in School

    Another voice for it depends. My employer offers STD as part of the benefits package, but it's pretty bad, and it only covers 2-4 weeks depending on delivery after the 30 day waiting period. Very...

  20. Lets take attendance

    DEgalRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Here all week. Next week here for 4

  21. What is wrong with parents?

    DEgalRN posted a topic in School

    Believe me when I tell you that I have not seen other students with the same complaint as your kid! I am not trying to hide anything, and I don't care if "that's not what you heard." Because that's...

  22. Adderall tabs question

    DEgalRN replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Just as an FYI, while you can't crush Adderall XR, you can open it and pour the medication into a spoonful of food (per the medication insert). Sounds like yours isn't XR anyway

  23. C'Mon Now!

    DEgalRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I would be so, so happy if we would take the phones from the kids! I'm not sure who would take it worse though, the kids or the

  24. Warmer Weather and Outside Injuries !

    DEgalRN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Big box of band-aids to the teachers! Not the ice packs though, those are too valuable to give to untrained
