  2. Health Condition info to teachers

    AdobeRN replied to scrubsrn24's topic in School

    The software our school uses has an area for Medical alerts. I enter the basic information, the student will have a flag with a "M" next to the name - teachers can just click on the flag and the info...

  3. Do you make appointments?

    AdobeRN replied to SwirlyGreenMom's topic in School

    I don't see how that would work. There are some days when I can't get 5 minutes to answer/return calls. sorry I don't have any suggestions. I agree with above poster, students show up whenever - just...

    AdobeRN replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I am in Texas. We exclude with live lice but nits are OK. I am of the "don't ask, don't tell" in regards to lice. I hate dealing with it. With this new law passing - should be interesting, I will...

  8. Eclipse concerns

    AdobeRN replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Each class did their own thing. Teachers had parents sign consent forms to learn about it - which I thought was weird & tad bit overboard. We actually had a few kids excluded from the lessons...

    AdobeRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I reach out to my parents by email and/or phone call - but for the most part do not chase them down anymore for Epipens or Asthma medication. We are fortunate to have stock epi and Albuterol neb...

  12. How do your students address you?

    AdobeRN replied to River Song, RN's topic in School

    I go by "Nurse last name" or "Nurse First initial of my last name" my last name is hard to pronounce and is long. A few kids call me "Nurse First name" only because I am friends with the parents...

  13. Scrubs or Clothes?

    AdobeRN replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    I wear scrubs majority of the time. Our principal allows jeans day on Friday with a school/district shirt - I take full advantage of that. A couple times a year we are allowed to wear shorts...

    AdobeRN replied to momto5RN's topic in School

  15. Poison ivy?

    AdobeRN replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Our rash policy is so subjective - really doesn't say much except that a doctor's visit is encouraged. In the case of poison ivy - I would just tell a parent to have a doctor look at it if it doesn't...

    AdobeRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

  19. Screening questions

    AdobeRN replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    AdobeRN replied to moreoreo's topic in School

  22. Overbearing parent rant

    AdobeRN replied to Amethya's topic in School
