  1. Diabetic student having surgery

    AdobeRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    You didn't miss anything and don't beat yourself up about it - you did the right by contacting the parent, not much else you could have done. My own kid had appendicitis and surgery when she was 7 -...

  2. Did they ask for your GPA, yes or no?

    AdobeRN replied to Bunsbuns's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Never was asked for grades or transcripts when I was hired at a hospital. After I was hired on with the school district as a school nurse I was asked to provide my transcripts - I don't think it had...

  3. LVN vs RN clinicals

    AdobeRN replied to amycire's topic in General Nursing

    AdobeRN replied to ceelopez12's topic in School

  5. Allergy Concerns

    AdobeRN replied to T-ROD's topic in School

    We have "allergen free tables" available - a student with food allergy may choose to sit there or a parent may require their child to sit there - either way we have parents sign a consent form for it....

  7. Inhalers???

    AdobeRN replied to T-ROD's topic in School

    AdobeRN replied to Sol95's topic in General Nursing

    AdobeRN replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

    I wish it was so easy forget about....we still send home for live lice & do head checks if 2+ cases in same class. I am so sick of it right now - in one grade level I have a large group of girls...

    AdobeRN replied to khaley69's topic in School

    AdobeRN replied to nrsingislife's topic in General Students

    I was not able to do it - what previous poster brings up is true, lots of things to consider and think about. I ended up just working 12 hour nights on Friday & Saturday to bring in alittle bit...

  16. Cleaning Asthma Supplies

    AdobeRN replied to WineRN's topic in School

    I do not - just wash out and let air dry then put away at the end of the day. I've only had one parent ever ask me to soak the pieces in a vinegar/Water solution after using them - she supplied the...

  17. Student Health Guidelines

    AdobeRN replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Our parents are also required to sign that they have read the district Handbook - but I know they don't read it - heck I never read it when I had kids in K-12 - LOL. I will write up a condensed...

  22. Lock Down Diabectic Action Plan

    AdobeRN replied to AzElemNurse's topic in School

    I am in elementary k-5. Our district does allow diabetics to carry or keep own supplies on them during the school day - the parents and school nurse will work together as far as when the student...

  24. Lock Down Diabectic Action Plan
