    Nurse Substitute

    100kids replied to RABBY's topic in School

    Subbing is a great way to get in to a school you may want to work in or to just see if this might be a job you will like. School Nurse subs are hard to find in my area so I take few days off but in a...

    Parent FYI Calls

    100kids replied to schoolnurse64's topic in School

    I always call for things that a parent will notice when the kid gets off the bus. I'd rather they have knowledge of it from me than getting emotional when they see it. I also call for anything I...

    Asking for a raise

    100kids replied to czab's topic in School

    Personally I would wait until after I had been there a full year before asking for a raise. As an employer I hired you at a certain salary and I would expect you to be ok with that for a year. After...

    Lunch

    100kids replied to rejula's topic in School

    I learned the hard way-the only way to get lunch is to leave my office and take it. Everyday at the same time (1:00 so it's after any noon meds), I turn the lights out and close my door and head to...

    100kids posted a topic in School

    How many of you have students who self carry their epi pens/auviQ and how is it working? I have a few older students who I would like to move in the direction of self carry because this is their last...

    100kids replied to Ilovegiraffes's topic in School

    Hearing screening

    100kids replied to RNlove17's topic in School

    First week as a school nurse- advice needed

    100kids replied to GrapeRN's topic in School

    You did the right thing as far as I can tell! I think what people often forget is that we see these kids 1 minute after an injury. There may not be any swelling or bruising yet. I probably wouldn't...
