  1. Anyone working nurse labeled a Non-Responder with vaccines?

    AdobeRN replied to jengix29's topic in General Nursing

    I have had the Hep B series 3 times and shows no immunity. My last employer gave me a form showing my attempts at vaccination and titer results - hopefully any future employers requiring...

  2. Previous Experience to be School Nurse?

    AdobeRN replied to thefuture88's topic in School

    I would recommend some nursing experience before getting into school nursing....you just don't realize what you don't know until you start working in the real world - clinical experiences were nothing...

  3. Here I Am!

    AdobeRN replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    This is what I look like to one of my kinder kids.....A Sleestak with purple hair from Land of the Lost

  4. tdap school requirements

    AdobeRN replied to cmtzrn's topic in School

    Just curious - so what do you do with those parents that are antivax or those delaying for whatever reason - do they just attend private school or homeschooled in the states without an official...

  5. tdap school requirements

    AdobeRN replied to cmtzrn's topic in School

    I don't bother trying to educate the doctors - I will print out the state requirements and highlight - pointing out to the parent the blurb on excluding from school. I also give the parent the option...

  6. Getting a parent to switch agencies

    AdobeRN replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Private Duty

    Seems unethical to convince a family to switch. I have only had parents ask me to change after they decided to do it - I have followed a client once but will not again - too much trouble and time...

  7. Medication Situation

    AdobeRN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    If it was a PRN I wouldn't give it or I would call the parent every time the child requests it and let them make the decision whether the med is administered or

  8. A Drive by, seriously!

    AdobeRN replied to Bevp's topic in School

    Weird....that wouldn't happen at my school, the people wouldn't get pass the front doors and if I was called to the front to address I would have directed them to nearest urgent care or to a new lice...

  9. Guess what I got to do today. Hint: lice related

    AdobeRN replied to rbytsdy's topic in School

    Thanks for the link to the article - lots of good info. I printed and saved it for future "infestations" :) to give to parents and staff that give me

  10. School Nurse Student Hygiene

    AdobeRN replied to c.thorpe04's topic in School

    I have made the decision to longer assist with this after last week - had a parent complain to admin about me sending feces soiled clothing home - I don't know what he wanted me to do with them and he...

  11. Clincal question from another stalker

    AdobeRN replied to Mango Juice's topic in School

    I rarely look at throats anymore - student gets a salt water gargle and I will call parent to to let them know. Ears - I will take a peek but I am not confident in my skill Unless the area is...

    AdobeRN replied to rbytsdy's topic in School

  13. Wet Clothes - VENT!!!

    AdobeRN replied to scrubsrn24's topic in School

    I had a parent complain to principal this week because I sent home bagged up clothing soiled with feces - told principal that it was rude and disgusting. Well what was I supposed to do with child's...

  14. Nurses who've had LASIK

    AdobeRN replied to Ruger8mm's topic in General Nursing

    I had it done in the 90's - best decision. At the time my vision was accidently over corrected in one eye and under in the other so unintentionally was monovision. Worked great for me until just...

  15. Applied for a non-nursing job today 😊

    AdobeRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I work as a school nurse, this year I started to work the ticket gates at our districts high school athletic events. It has been great - make $50-75/event for a few hours of no brainer/no stress...

  16. With all the allergies children have nowadays...?

    AdobeRN replied to caregiver1977's topic in School

    No class pets. We do have the occasional lizard, turtle, frog/tadpoles, butterflies, lady bugs and even baby chicks for short time periods thru the year to go with whatever science stuff the classes...

  17. Charting!!??

    AdobeRN replied to jhlpn's topic in School

  18. oral immunotherapy for peanut allergy

    AdobeRN replied to ERRNDeans's topic in School

    I had 1 student go thru this, he would eat X amount of peanut M&m's every evening with dinner. I never had any issues with him at school during the day. Mom would send an email every so often to...

  19. School nurses - thoughts on this?

    AdobeRN replied to BeachsideRN's topic in School

    I don't think we are hearing the whole story with this one. It doesn't make sense that a teacher or anyone for that matter would sit and watch someone have difficulty breathing and not do anything...

  20. Climate/Culture Improvement Ideas

    AdobeRN replied to Kittery's topic in School

    We have a Sunshine committee - $20 is requested at beginning of year to help fund it. They do a snack cart once a month, we try to have some kind of activity outside of work every other month - some...

  22. Snow, Where Are You?

    AdobeRN replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    Nooooo.....I am not a fan of snow/ice days. We have 2 days marked as "bad weather make up days" so if school is not closed for snow/ice we get those days off. I'd much rather have sunny, warm...

  23. Pertussis

    AdobeRN replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    I had one positive a few years ago - parent did not bother to tell us - I was notified by the Health Department. At that point the kid had already been treated and was back at school. All I did was...

  24. List the most frivolous complaints you've received

    AdobeRN replied to gardenpartyy's topic in Private Duty

    I had two from the same mom - first complaint she had was that I didn't keep the childs area clean enough and I used too many gloves when taking care of her - sorry I will use clean gloves every time...

  25. Job Offer Questions

    AdobeRN replied to beekee's topic in Private Duty

    All agencies are going to be different. The one I work for (PRN) pays the $10/hr "training" wage - this would include any training in the office (skill checkoffs, etc) or if I were to take on a new...
