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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
We all see "other non-nursing duties" each day. See these threads and you'll see some responses on this : https://allnurses.com/school-nurses/-quot-other-duties-1008042.html...

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...
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...

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...
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...
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'm only seeing the Table of Contents but this looks like a great resource. I would love to look through it. Do you know where to find the whole manual
Ok my otoscope died. Its' an old Welch Allyn, tried a new battery, new bulb, nothing works I think it is finally ready to go to the graveyard. What does everyone here have in their office? A nice...

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...
