    BluebellRN replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    Yes! I have some littles who eat the weirdest things... then puke and are completely fine. Some teachers want to be fast and hard on sending home, others get it happens and want them

    Return to school after vomiting

    BluebellRN replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    24hrs seems like the norm... no clue why we say 12hr. Sadly, VA says to exclude until vomiting/diarrhea/fever are gone, then it's fine to return. No time limit

    Salt water rinses

    BluebellRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    My district LOVES a salt water gargle/rinse. 1lb of salt is part of each school's nursing supplies. It's one of those things that doesn't hurt them, might help them, or at least make them think it...

    Are you planning to retire from public schools?

    BluebellRN replied to CampNurse10's topic in School

    I'm in Virginia, and the state retirement has been through some changes in the past several years. It is now more like a typical 401K. Thankfully, I worked for a state hospital years ago and had time...

    BluebellRN posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm looking for advice. I've been out of school since 2005, and ALL of my former professors have retired. I've contacted the colleges (my ADN and BSN programs) and none of them left forwarding contact...

    I haven't talked to the schools, but that's likely going to be my best bet: if they will accept professional references. Unfortunately, it's the same for the clinical instructors:...

    Why your avatar?

    It's just a stock one, but I do love Bender and Futurama. I've thought about changing it, but not sure what to

    BluebellRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Virginia, April 2nd - 6th is Spring Break. No school on President's Day for the kids, PD day for us. Edit to add: Growing up, I never had a "spring break", just a long weekend for

    C'Mon Now!

    BluebellRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Teacher actually put "about to throw up in hallway" on the pass. Same pass that I had to send student back to class TWICE to get. But, nah, she's totally about to blow chunks all over that

    BluebellRN replied to aprilmoss's topic in School

    Yesterday was my first snow day! Well, first since I was a student... I have to get up fairly early because I don't live in my district, so I stayed up to have breakfast with my husband then went back...

    Field Trips

    BluebellRN replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

    We have a float nurse who goes along. Which is really good, because I have multiple diabetics and none of the parents can ever go on the field trips. I couldn't imagine having to find my own coverage...

    BluebellRN replied to mag426's topic in School

    Mine starts the 20th through the 2nd. 7 more days... This is my first year as well, and I'm excited to have so much time off for the holidays. I have lots of baking I want to do, and still need to...

    Snow Day!

    BluebellRN replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Yup, a bit jealous here... Heard this morning we have a chance of snow towards the end of the week, saying a couple inches. But, I think it's going to hit Friday night into Saturday.

    Charting in Powerschool

    BluebellRN replied to jbrmdr's topic in School

    I chart in PS as well. It's a narrative under the log. We do "Health", and then have subtypes set up (clinic visit, ER, sent home). It's okay, but I definitely don't love
