100kids BSN, RN

thank you for posting this.

Just what every school nurse wants on a Monday morning, the dreaded call from a parent that they found head lice on their daughter after a sleepover with friends this weekend. They are treating it and let everyone at the sleepover know... Let the ma...

OMG! This just made my day! Thank you!

Probably. LOL! This decision was not mine to make. I'm just happy we are not sticking with the old no nit policy we had forever!

It's usually quiet in my office that night. I actually use it to catch up on some paperwork-no kiddos interrupting.

Remember they also send us the kid with gum stuck in their hair or who can't get a knot in their shoelaces untied so the frustration comes from this being one of many ridiculous reasons are sent to our offices. It's a good thing we are all just sitt...

"Today we are going to work on sucking it up".

Oh I had a few of those several years ago. Always fun.

I am in a role where I am the School Nurse and the Health Teacher in my building. In order to keep my certification to do both I needed to get a Masters Degree. I could do it in Nursing or in Education. In the end I decided the Masters in Educatio...

I'm a little flexible with this for vomiting. If they ate dinner and were fine, slept well and ate breakfast this morning being fine, I'm ok with them being at school but if they haven't eaten at least twice since the last vomiting without a problem...

Congratulations! When I finished grad school I remember how happy I was to gain all the time back in my schedule without having to do schoolwork! Enjoy your new letters!

I do salt water gargle/rinse for sore throat, canker sores or lost teeth. The ones who are really hurting are almost always willing to try it, and usually the ones looking to get out of class don't want to come back for more. WIN-WIN

I'm here! I started Tuesday, kids yesterday. Hard to find my desk with all the paperwork on it! Ready to tackle a new year!

In my district I am on the same salary schedule as the teachers. In the district my children attend the School nurses they are on the same contract as the teachers BUT the Nurses have a lower salary schedule.

I got my Masters in Elementary Education and Special Education. I chose that over Nursing because it suited my role here in school better. I teach Health as well as being the School Nurse. Doing may masters in Education really helped me to better u...

Enjoy your time with your babies!

I have an OTC form that parents can check off items they allow me to use (like Neosporin, cough drops, hydrocortisione cream, Tylenol, motrin, etc.) but by law it has to be signed by both the parent and the child's doctor. I get them back for about ...

I teach Health 1x per week for 40 minutes to all of our students in grades K-6. I have created my own curriculum. I teach about nutrition, hand washing, germs, childhood illness, allergies, body systems, dental health, hygiene, health professionals,...

so sorry to hear that was their decision.

There is a beach chair with my name on it and I hope my butt is planted in it most days of the week this summer. 28 days left...

It is not required of anyone but me in our school but I do get the district to pay for 10 people to get certified each year and I can get those spots filled so we have some people certified.

so ready for the weekend. Happy it's Friday!

I am in PK-6 and always say I can't imagine going anywhere other than Elementary. I love the kids at these young ages. Certainly the smaller school size sounds huge to me too but then again I have 100 kids here so I'm clueless about big schools. G...

YUP. This.
