  1. Athletics = Madness

    guest464345 replied to guest464345's topic in School

    Well, at least it's not just here....looking at guidance I see that wrestling and football are listed as the highest-risk sports even by the AIA. And yet, we have both. Just like all of you, I'm...

  2. Called 911 - anything I could have done better?

    guest464345 replied to pineappleupsidedowncake's topic in School

    I would have called EMS for this significant, unexplained change from the child's baseline - especially since the parent didn't share the history with you, and she wasn't immediately available when...

  3. How Are You Passing Time?

    guest464345 replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I also have only about 25% of the kids on campus any given time (about half came back for hybrid instruction, but they're split into two groups) and I also have been seeing 2-5 kids/day....

  4. Are your kids back to school full time in person?

    guest464345 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    AZ here. We have been virtual (except for a few ELL and special ED kids), but tomorrow is day 1 of hybrid model. In my school 45% of families chose hybrid, 50% decided to stay completely online...

  5. What do you do when a kid refuses to wear a mask?

    guest464345 replied to turtlesRcool's topic in School

    At our school the child is sent to the Dean's office. They are given a disposable mask if they don't have one, and parents are called. Repeated violations lead to disciplinary measures. We've just...

  6. Devastated over Isolation Precautions Problem

    guest464345 replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    You've summed up the majority of the problems that I experienced with hospital nursing, all three places that I worked, to varying extents. It's a job with insane responsibility and very little...

  7. Staff getting overly involved

    guest464345 replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    I think this is really insightful. In fact, I feel that tendency within myself. I've bought PPE for myself, and I know that teachers have too. I don't really trust anything about what our governor...

  8. New to this

    guest464345 replied to Looking_ahead's topic in School

    Yes, this. I had a kid last year whose parent sent him on the bus with a controlled medication, and somehow it "fell out of his pocket" en route. Pretty sure the kid sold it. Luckily, I had seen...

  9. If I have to leave?

    guest464345 posted a topic in School

    My parent in another state has become ill with COVID- or flulike symptoms (100F temp the first day with chills, then overwhelming fatigue, a little diarrhea, dyspnea with any activity, severe joint...

  10. Anaphylaxis: Epinephrine First, Period.

    guest464345 replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I just had a parent request that I administer PRN Zyrtec for a preschool kid with an anaphylactic peanut allergy "if she just has mild hives." I don't even want to know if a doctor ordered that, and...

  11. If I have to leave?

    guest464345 replied to guest464345's topic in School

    You are all so wonderful! Thank you! He's had two negative COVID tests, both PCR, both in the first week of symptoms. (I don't know....flu? Of course they didn't test for that, just got routed...

  12. Left in the Dark

    guest464345 replied to BooBooCrew's topic in School

    And of course....THEIR meeting, involving the decisionmakers, was done on Zoom. No way THEY'RE going to sit in a classroom for an hour with 20 other people

  13. Left in the Dark

    guest464345 replied to BooBooCrew's topic in School

    Same here. At another point in my life, I would have been banging on the principal's door with binders, and research studies, and powerpoint slides, and algorithms in hand. But, well...in my...

  14. Vision/Hearing with virtual learners

    guest464345 replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    We're prioritizing individual appointments for SPED kids (who need them for IEPs), but I think basically giving up on mass screening this year because COVID. No way I can get through 500-600...

  15. How to assert yourself?

    guest464345 replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    Those are ALL hard situations that most of us have faced - I sympathize. My approach is usually to try engaging the teacher, and also helping them understand how the medical world works. They...

  16. Blacklisted from HCA

    guest464345 replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

    I know they have near-monopolies in some regions of the country....but seriously, you don't want to work for those guys. Even as a traveler. Do a little googling about their historic levels of...

  17. First week done. I'm overwhelmed

    guest464345 replied to Mayflower22's topic in School

    I'm pretty new too - starting my third year. Looking back, I think that year one is about starting to control your office (don't let people run you ragged for shoelace knots, gum in hair, dress code...

  18. Stock Epi Pen location

    guest464345 replied to RNatSchool's topic in School

    Mine is behind my desk (accessible to staff in admin office), in a marked box mounted on the wall, near the AED and emergency

  19. Organiztion for medicine cabinet?

    guest464345 replied to RNatSchool's topic in School

    Are you thinking about student's prescribed meds? I personally am a fan of the hanging pharmacy-style bags on the rod - they're easy to label, easy to grab, and you can get different sizes to...

  20. Covid Coordinator

    guest464345 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    My admin is (or perhaps is not) handling most of it, and little information filters down to me. They identified an isolation area after I absolutely insisted. No staffing for isolation area;...

  21. We start on Monday - full in person

    guest464345 replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Good luck to you, to me, and all of us. In 4-6 weeks, we'll see where this leads. I think we are headed down a dangerous path, but I very much hope to be

  22. We start on Monday - full in person

    guest464345 replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Ahhh yes.... the Before

  23. Strange New World

    guest464345 replied to CJforme01's topic in School

    We started (virtual) today. I have a ton of vaccination records to chase down and over a thousand health cards that need data entry, and I still need to figure out a plan for screenings. So for now...

  24. Isolation room set up?

    guest464345 replied to nursetlm's topic in School

    Jen, what magical state do you work in?? I'm guessing you're not here in Arizona, where we invest in guns and border walls rather than HEPA filters. An LPN! Distanced cots! I'm so

  25. What are you stocking up on?

    guest464345 replied to cmh1118's topic in School

    Vodka, and not for its disinfectant properties
