  1. Enterovirus D68

    Wave Watcher replied to fetch's topic in School

    We are nowhere near any outbreaks. My teachers would be happy if we put them in space suits and breathing apparatuses. I have one teacher who has a runny nose and she thinks she has the virus. Over...

  2. Should I go back to school for MSN?

    Wave Watcher replied to Kschaefer90's topic in School

    In my school district...nurses do not get a pay raise for a higher degree. It is not in the budget for us. Unlike our teachers....for every advance in degree they get a pay raise. I would check into...

    Wave Watcher replied to weebarra73's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many folks who have children young are waiting to start their college careers later in life. I believe (in most cases) as we age we become more stable in all areas of our lives. We know what we want...

  6. Did I do the right thing?

    Wave Watcher replied to rainydaysRN's topic in School

    If the parent was present during the accident then they can decide what needs to be done. I would have recommended pretty much the same thing. Although, since she passed out and hit her head I would...

  7. Wrapping Injuries

    Wave Watcher replied to nurseshajwani's topic in School

    I do not wrap. Period. What if you don't suspect there is a fracture BUT there is? I just don't take the chance. I send the kid back to class and tell them to ice it and prop their foot up or call...

  9. School Nurse Software

    Wave Watcher replied to amandarn10's topic in School

  15. Which diagnosis nursing most important

    Wave Watcher replied to adel5991's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would say infection comes first. Just my opinion. Although, being malnourished will affect how you heal but infection can cause death (worse case scenario) probably a lot quicker than being...

  23. Testing Snacks

    Wave Watcher replied to RNCourt's topic in School

    Each class decides if they want to provide a snack during state testing. Every teacher is aware if a child in their class has a food allergy. It is up to them to provide the appropriate snack. I don't...
