    Epipens and field trips

    In some states this is not true and an RN is the only one in a school who can administer rectal seizure medications. A child's parent or a nurse must accompany children who need this medication on a...

    School Culture - can we shift it? maybe a little?

    Definitely have a very sensitive school here as well but I try to make little changes each year to toughen everybody up a little, kids and adults alike. For one I don't send a lot of children home...

    Epipens and field trips

    What's your favorite thing about being a school nurse?

    Getting to really know all of the kids. They see me around town and I am practically a celebrity. Being in a small school in a small community I see past and present students all the

    Is the student pregnant?

    If I had a relationship with this student I might "accidentally" bump into them and engage in conversation to give her an opportunity to tell me if she wants to but even if she tells you you can't...

    A real Lunch Break!

    I did not have a set lunch time either and I never got one-exactly as you describe. I would pick a time and stick to it. That's the only way you will ever get a true lunch break and you need one!...

    Inhalers?

    I always give the inhaler. If I notice a pattern of increased use I always call home to talk to the parents about what is going on at home as well and suggest they may need to call their physician...

    Overnight Trips

    Hope it went well. I did an overnight trip with our 6th graders 1 year to DC. I had a great time and opted for 3 comp days instead of extra pay. Used those days for a trip with my girlfriends to...

    Love my job! No, seriously!

    At the end of it all these kids are my kids and I care for each and every one of them. I want them to turn out to be happy, successful, healthy adults. If I make a little difference in getting them...

    Is the concept of respect dead?

    I'm big on manners in my room. No barging in and making demands, you must use please and thank you. I make my own kids do it, I make the students in the school do it. Why don't people realize how...

    well, it happened

    Actually I believe if you hadn't been so quick to judge the OP and post a condescending remark you would not have received comments that you feel are not nice. In fact I think the responses you got...

    seeing students in the last 15 minutes of the day

    Makes me crazy too! If they have a bloody nose that won't stop-fine but if it's because they have a sore throat I am not going to be

    Faking dizziness

    As the nurse you have to send him home but really this is a problem that needs to be addressed at home rather than at school. If it was my son we would be having a serious sit down

    I screen them and I do reschedule if they forgot their glasses. I have a lot of kids who fail with their glasses and my note home is a reminder to go get new glasses. but....I am F/T in a small...

    The Snow Day Thread!

    We've had 2 snow days and a few 2 hr delays. I need another one. It's much easier to get my grad school work done with those extra hours I wasn't anticipating. One a week would really make this...

    24 hour vomit free before returning to school?

    I have one student who can vomit on command. And then she cries.... it's always fun. Whenever she doesn't want to be in school she knows what to do to get her free ticket home. Unfortunately mom...
