    I work in the summer as a camp
  2. I work in a private (religious) school with a significant population of people from a country where having lice is regarded very casually. My school is strict about its no lice or nits policy. I...
  3. do I tell the other school's nurse?

    My school has almost no policies about anything! Love the place, but I'm really starting at ground
  4. right or wrong or in between?

    When I did first-aid training at my school, I told the teachers that they could never go wrong calling 911 and administering epipen to child w. breathing difficulties. The thing is, you just have no...
  5. Puberty/Hygiene Video

    Sorry, I was going to suggest the Always video.... I'm teaching hygiene to 7th gr. girls on Monday. It's my first time teaching this. Any tips? I found a good brochure online, but do you do any...
  6. Bed bugs

    Would your school do emails rather than calls? I do emails for this sort of thing and it is SUCH a timesaver. I work in a private school, though, and we don't have anywhere near the number of rules...
  7. Epistaxis - doing anything different?

    I spoke w. our pediatrician about those products and was told they're not safe to use w. young children (I was asking about less than 6 y/o. Not sure if it would be different w. an older kid). I...
  8. New School Nurse - looking for ideas

    I just went around to all classes (300+ kids in Toddler-grade 9) and spoke for 5-10 mins about handwashing. I also go each day to every grade below 1 and check in w. the teachers re. how the kids...
  9. I am officially a school nurse.

    I'd make sure to ask what's the hardest thing she's had to deal with.....I guess i'm not really sure what else you should ask (I'm only a few weeks ahead of you in the school nurse dept!), but I would...
  10. I am officially a school nurse.

    Wow! NEATO! Good luck. I hope you enjoy it. Even though it's "only" emotional disturbances and autism, I'd also like to see you get a longer orientation. It would be great if you could take notes...
  11. samples of sanitary pads?

    That's such a nice idea to encourage them decorate their own bag! My own dd wears cloth pads and we had a nice time together going online and choosing the
  12. samples of sanitary pads?

    Anyone know of a place that will send school nurses samples of sanitary pads? This is the first year my school has had some in the older girls' bathrooms, and, boy, they're using a lot. I've been...

    No problem :). Nice to have a response, in any

    In the case I originally posted about, it was siblings, three in my school and three in the other
  15. do I tell the other school's nurse?

    Interesting f/u: I've been reading "School Nursing: A Comprehensive Text" and on p. 608 it says "When it is known that students in one school have possibly exposed students in neighboring schools, the...
  16. do I tell the other school's nurse?

    No, I didn't say
  17. do I tell the other school's nurse?

    Thank you, Jolie. I appreciate your input. The only thing I could think to say to the other nurse is something about how I was finding a lot of nits and lice in the people from x country and has she...
  18. do I tell the other school's nurse?

    Well, barring that for the moment :). I did have a talk w. the principal of my school about how the AAP says no child should miss school b/c of lice and that was why I picked through the girl's...
  19. What do you wear to work?

    I wear business casual w. a lab coat. It never even occurred to me to wear scrubs! Good luck in your new
