  1. Tired of kids coming to the nurse...

    caregiver1977 replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

  2. Nasty Parents and This Opportunity to Vent

    caregiver1977 replied to bleemadden's topic in School

    Unless I missed something, I still don't understand why the OP had to buy the treatment. After the way the OP was handled, someone should have been buying the OP a $15 lunch! This has to be horribly...

  3. Tired of kids coming to the nurse...

    caregiver1977 replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

    I am not a nurse, but a teacher assistant. Our school nurse got burned out about the second week of school with this crap. I wonder if some of these parents realize how much time their child is...

  4. Vent- Sending students to Health room minutes before dismissed to home

    caregiver1977 replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in School

    Sounds like some teachers need to rework their bathroom

  5. Vent- Sending students to Health room minutes before dismissed to home

    caregiver1977 replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in School

    I am the person that often fills out the forms and walks with the student to the office when they need to see the nurse. Unless it is very serious, I don't let kids go to the nurse within the last 30...

  6. Just Soap and Water

    caregiver1977 replied to duckieRN's topic in School

    We don't give tylenol, or any medication without parent consent/doctor's orders, but we still do treat bee stings (we have had A LOT of those this year) and other things like that. We can treat...

  7. Hemophiliac child...question?

    caregiver1977 replied to itsnowornever's topic in School

    At my school there are children who have their own CNA/medical assistants to take care of their medical needs. The school district has a contract with a local home health agency. Could this be...

  8. Special Needs Child Being Bullied: How can I keep my patient safe?

    caregiver1977 replied to Lovewhatidointx's topic in School

    Maybe it is time to change schools, if that is possible. I can't imagine why school administration would put up with this. I agree with those who said report to

  9. When parents should keep their child home.

    caregiver1977 replied to tanna898's topic in School

    No matter, I think you should send the flyer home. As a parent, I would appreciate the

  10. Just Soap and Water

    caregiver1977 replied to duckieRN's topic in School

    Only soap and water? Wow! What do you all do for anything

  11. Healthy women schedule C-sections to prevent vaginal stretching

    caregiver1977 replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Forget the lady partsl stretching!! I know too many women personally who have had a HORRIBLE time recovering from c/s surgery. No thank you! I don't want a c-section unless my life or my child's...

  12. Parents of diabetic students

    caregiver1977 replied to Spidey's mom's topic in School

    I have 3 school-aged children. I think if I felt that I had to hover over the staff at school that much because of my child's medical condition, then I might would consider homeschooling my child. I...

  13. Would you do this?

    caregiver1977 replied to mc3's topic in School

    Just a question, what would happen if you did use another student's epi-pen and then THAT student needed their

  14. The Good and Bad

    caregiver1977 replied to QTNurseBSN's topic in School

    I never could understand the high school girls who would have to go home every month because their monthly "friend" visited. My periods were very, very irregular when they first started, and I never...

  15. Another soiled clothing vent

    caregiver1977 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    From what I have been told, the teacher assistants at my school are not responsible for cleaning a child after a toilet accident. I would only be responsible for notifying the parents. However, this...

  16. Another soiled clothing vent

    caregiver1977 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    I guess many teachers send bm/urine accidents to the nurse because in many school districts the teacher nor the teacher assistant is allowed to help with a bathroom accident, not because they just...

  17. Banning food products in school due to student allergies

    caregiver1977 replied to Alibaba's topic in School

    I don't think that many people realize just how many foods you would have to ban, HEALTHY foods for most of the population for that matter, if you take into consideration EVERYONE'S food allergy. My...

  18. Another soiled clothing vent

    caregiver1977 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    If you are talking about teacher assistants, then it is not their job either (at least not in my school district). I am a teacher assistant in a public school that specializes in educating children...

  19. Banning food products in school due to student allergies

    caregiver1977 replied to Alibaba's topic in School

    Some parents need to consider whether or not it is safe for their children to go to school if the child has a severe food allergy. I am not talking about what the schools are supposed to do, or that...

  20. Banning food products in school due to student allergies

    caregiver1977 replied to Alibaba's topic in School

    I'm not concerned about what the cafeteria won't serve, but I am concerned when the school bans in lunches from home a food that is healthy and safe for most of the population. I think if the school...

  21. What would you have done?

    caregiver1977 replied to Tina, RN's topic in School

    We just had an incident like this happen last Thursday at my school. Little girl was playing on the monkey bars, fell face first, and was crying and screaming LOUDLY about both arms. She said she...

  22. Another soiled clothing vent

    caregiver1977 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    For some of the classes in the district I work for, teacher request a change of clothes for every student in the class, especially if they are pre-K through about 1st or 2nd grade, or for students who...

  23. The youngest new mother's you've seen

    caregiver1977 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No, it is not the best plan, because some of those grandmothers who end up taking care of their daughter's children still have children to raise of their own. So grandma ends up being "mother" and...

  24. Banning food products in school due to student allergies

    caregiver1977 replied to Alibaba's topic in School

    There are plenty of kids at my school who are allergic to tuna and other fish, but my school still serves it.

  25. Banning food products in school due to student allergies

    caregiver1977 replied to Alibaba's topic in School

    Who actually enforces the ban and makes sure it is enforced? How do you check to see that no one is carrying a peanut product in their pocket, book bag, etc? More and more I see where schools are...
