    Missed a fracture.

    It happens and it will probably happen again. We all feel terribly the 1st time because we assume we should have know. We are in such a unique situation in that a child injures themselves and we see...

    Middle School/High School and Supplies

    I personally like Macgill for my ordering. I have a small freezer/fridge in my office. In the freezer I have 3 ice cube trays and a plastic container. Each day I empty the ice cubes I made into the...

    I didn't take lunch my first few years but in the past 2 years I have been taking lunch everyday. I leave my office and go to the faculty room. They know where I am in an emergency but are also...

    Standing Orders

    In my school we only have standing orders to carry and for an RN employed by the School for non patient specific epinephrine in case of anaphylaxis. It looks like other schools have more details and...

    TGIF

    I am in a small school and have all sorts of responsibilities not related to being the Nurse. Everyone has to wear many hats. I am responsible for attendance, coordinating dismissal, health class...

    Should I join a teachers's union?

    My school has insurance but I always recommend that people get their own as well. If there's ever an incident the School's insurance will protect the school not necessarily me. I want someone who is...

    Health Class ideas

    I teach Health Class once per week for each grade (K-6). I start every year off with a hygiene lesson, handwashing-showering and deodorant (depending on the age). I always do a first aid/safety,...

    Eye machine

    I'm laughing because I looked up images of the machine models mentioned and they all positively new age compared to the dinosaur I have in my office. I almost never use it for the older kids but I do...

    Poopy Pants in PreK

    At my school I do help if needed BUT only if another adult will stay with me as a witness. Kids have accidents. If it's a regular thing then I would set up a meeting with the parents and teacher but...

    My name is Linda and I am a school nurse in the state of NJ.

    We call them SLOs here but thankfully I am exempt from needing to do them! For now at least. Good

    all i really want is...

    Interrupting me at lunch for little things drives me crazy. I find I need to gently remind our grandmotherly secretary (sounds like yours above NutmeggeRN), who wants to take care of everyone, that I...

    Needing some support

    No matter what people think this job is not easy. There is no documentation for you to look at for morning medication times and what was given when, but you have to be conscious of it. You will...

    Nutrition concerns for student

    It's hard. As the Nurse I'd like to see that child have more healthy options in their lunchbox but as a Mother I say it's none of the school's business. It's tough for me to find the balance between...

    is school nursing a good specialty?

    I love School Nursing and it's a great career for people BUT I think people often get the wrong idea about what it entails. I definitely don't have it better than the teachers (at least not where I...
