Well, many OBGYNs are males, why can't there be male nurses in this field? Doesn't make sense for there not to be male OBGYN nurses.

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 embarrassing for the student. Maybe your school a...

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 spending out of class in the office to see the nurse (...

Sounds like some teachers need to rework their bathroom schedules...

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 minutes of the school day. I have had teacher(s)...

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 students with what comes in a general first aid kit. D...

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 provided for your nephew? Your sister might want to in...

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 CPS.

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

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

Forget the vaginal 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 life is compromised. BTW, I have had FIVE vaginal deli...

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 work at a public school that has a high populatio...

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

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 had to go home because of it (even though my perio...

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 year I work with 5th and 6th graders. They would...

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 want to ruin the nurse's day !

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 school's cafeteria does not serve any peanut produ...

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 with special health and mental needs (this is sort ...

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 the parents have a right to send their children to...

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 system is going to do that then they should provid...

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 couldn't move either one. We helped her from the pla...

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 have special needs that might require a change of...

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 "grandma." Some grandmas are not physically, financ...

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