    Anywhere in NY pay school nurses well?

    100kids replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    I'm on LI too. I started higher than that but not much. My income is secondary in my house so thankfully it pays for the nice to haves, kids activities and stuff and not the mortgage, lights and...

    Incidental sexism

    100kids replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I know most of the families in my district pretty well so I usually know a lot about the family dynamic here. Most of the moms stay at home, work P/T or have their own business here so it's 97% them...

    Question for NY School Nurses?

    100kids posted a topic in School

    I'm hoping some of you can help me. Is anyone a School Nurse in New York State and on the Teacher contract and salary schedule? Currently I have my own contract with no union but I wanted to see how...

    First year as a school nurse....feeling disrespected as the only nurse in the building.

    100kids replied to Skips's topic in School

    Unfortunately it's very common. Just take a deep breath and do your thing! Don't let them tell you how to do your job. You know what you're doing. I have found it has gotten better over time as...

    2 Nurses in one

    100kids replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I agree with the other comments and think you should stay the course and practice Nursing the way you think you should (unless it goes against school policy, etc). Also as a new person I would wait...

    Annoyed -just a vent

    100kids replied to Flare's topic in School

    We have a database in NY but I find many of the records are not in there or are incomplete. Very frustrating. Here no one is supposed to be able to start without my sign off but then I find out that...

    Annoyed -just a vent

    100kids replied to Flare's topic in School

    It gets exhausting when everyone assumes we just make up rules to make things as difficult as possible! I mean how many times do I have to hear a parent say "Why can't I just sign something and give...

    Letter home for our frequent visitors?

    100kids replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    I call as well. I find it helps me get any information about situations at home. With some frequent fliers this helps, with others their parents don't seem to care they see me 7xs a week. You learn...

    Am I getting too old for the job or is it just harder to be a School Nurse?

    100kids replied to LMTCBnurse's topic in School

    I couldn't like this comment more!!! My mother in law loves to tell me how easy my job is and how lucky I am. I love my job but seriously

    3rd Grader Pooping Pants to go Home

    100kids replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    I would definitely talk to mom and see if these accidents happen just at school or does he have frequent accidents at home as well. At that age there are reasons it could be happening that are...

    Elevated blood sugar

    100kids replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    I had a student several years ago who had levels in that range about once a week or so, her other extreme was down to 18. It was a stressful year. Her orders from her physician clearly spelled out...

    Interview

    100kids replied to Waitingonparadise's topic in School

    I would expect a good amount of "how would you handle..." questions. Frequent fliers, difficult parents, etc. I was asked how I would handle a situation where a staff member fell and hit their head...

    Kindergartners taking off clothes at school

    100kids replied to clockwood's topic in School

    I find whenever they're not sure what to do in the building it somehow becomes a Nursing issue. Give me a break! Tell the kid to keep their clothes on, it's inappropriate to not wear them in school...

    Ahhhh! A drop of blood!!

    100kids replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    Get these all the time! I tell the kids I don't pull teeth but it they want to sit for 2 minutes and try to wiggle it out they can, after that it's back to class. Depends of course if the tooth is...

    I am a real nurse

    100kids replied to annienurse86's topic in Psychiatric

    I am a School Nurse and I always hear how that's not real Nursing as well. In truth I didn't know much real Nursing it was until I became one! Don't let anyone demean what you do. You are a Nurse...
