    C'Mon Now!

    BluebellRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Student has been telling her teachers that she's having her appendix out Sunday. Teacher stands in my clinic, with the student, wanting me to call mom this very second to verify student is not...

    Another new school nurse

    BluebellRN replied to Meerkats's topic in School

    LIKES: The hours and schedule are SWEET! Summer break, two weeks off at Xmas, no weekends, 7 hour workdays, never having to hide my drink from state inspectors. The kids are the best though; even on a...

    Do You Remember...

    BluebellRN replied to Feral.Cat.Herder's topic in School

    My closet is the opposite, I can't get enough girl's pants! I'm finally restocked on boys, although I can never keep enough of either to keep up with PreK. I've spent way too much of my own money...

    Speaking of summer...

    BluebellRN posted a topic in School

    Who is going to be working this summer? I considered camp and summer school, but I need to have some minor surgery this summer. Now I'm considering doing some agency work to have greater schedule...

    Poor planning

    BluebellRN replied to ana010's topic in School

    I'm REALLY glad I don't have to deal with absences. I overheard our secretary tell a mom who was coming in late today that the kid was at 64

    Medical room goodies?

    BluebellRN replied to RNTadaaaa's topic in School

    I have stickers, tooth necklaces, and a "nurse kiss" stamp. The stamp was a leftover from the last nurse, to "kiss" and make better. The littles enjoy it. I also try to keep some snacks; fruit...

    Speaking of summer...

    BluebellRN replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    I admit, the schedule lured me in. The pay however is a bummer. Next year I might seriously look into camp nursing. I have an almost 11 yr old step daughter who would love going to a sleep away

    Nosebleeds

    BluebellRN replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Elementary here, and I keep them for a couple reasons: make sure they are able to clean up and wash hands, I can't trust most of them to hold until it's really stopped, and because *most* teachers...

    Essential Oil Diffusers

    BluebellRN posted a topic in School

    Okay hive, I need all the articles you have about the health risks related to essential oil diffusers. Our PTO is wanting to put diffusers in pretty much every classroom. ? I emailed admin bringing...

    Essential Oil Diffusers

    BluebellRN replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    I'm not of fan of mlm's at all, they're very predatory. And I'm really hoping my principal hasn't been sucked in. It does make it tough because it's a fine balance with the PTO. Teachers rely on...

    Essential Oil Diffusers

    BluebellRN replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    That's why I'm thinking this is being spearheaded by a PTO mom who sells oils. The diffusers in each classroom was sandwiched right in the middle of this whole list of educational things they are...

    Essential Oil Diffusers

    BluebellRN replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    I noticed that time limit, and totally agree they'd be running all the time! I discussed with my other district nurses as well, and this is something they've had to squash in their schools. Be nice...

    Essential Oil Diffusers

    BluebellRN replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    I hadn't even thought about migraines! I have a handful of students that are diagnosed, and a couple who have PRN meds for their migraines. Thanks for the links! I have a suspicion that a PTO mom is...

    Essential Oil Diffusers

    BluebellRN replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    She's generally been receptive when it comes to evidence based research, so I'm not sure where this is coming from. In my first email I sent along links about health concerns and even an issue of...

    CBD administration in schools - thoughts?

    BluebellRN replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Virginia recently passed this bill: https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?191+sum+SB1632S It protects both students taking CBD or THC-A and the nurses who are administering. I've not yet had a...

    Monkey Bars

    BluebellRN posted a topic in School

    Are the bane of my existence. In the past couple weeks I've had two broken arms from monkey bar falls. With just a day and half between me and spring break, if another kid falls, I might go tear the...

    Monkey Bars

    BluebellRN replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    I was obsessed with merry-go-rounds as a kid. Anything that would spin me around, making me dizzy as hell. Somehow the memories of being flung off aren't too bad either. That witches wheel looks...

    Monkey Bars

    BluebellRN replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    GaGa ball looks awful! What sadist thought of that? I'd complain about the monkey bars, but knowing my luck they'd replace it with GaGa ball. 1/2 day until spring break
