  1. C'Mon Now!

    Little Darling comes in and asks for crackers. Here is the exchange: LD: Can I have some crackers? Me: Did you not eat breakfast this morning? LD: No, I haven't eaten since 937 yesterday morning. Me:...
  2. Did you replace a school nurse?

    I tell everyone God created this job just for me. I am an LVN who did not work for 5 years while my littles were babies. I have an RN (district coordinator) housed here with me. I am the first one to...
  3. High School Shooter Copy Cats?

    We had one threaten a teacher the day after the FL. shooting and today we have increased police presence due a "threat" on social media. The threat on social media was traced back to Ohio, but since...

  5. Really Hating the Words...

    I don't know. I get this answer from LD all the time when asking them questions and it drives me up the wall. Getting information can be so frustrating. Well, now I am the one saying, "I don't know."...
  6. Really Hating the Words...

    Update on mom. Mom is doing well. She has bounced back from her illness, but still no word on further treatment for the lung cancer. She goes Wednesday for a follow-up with cancer dr. My sister seems...
  7. Really Hating the Words...

    Yes. When I go "home" it feels like I am all alone. My husband is unable to make quick trips with me due to his work and I don't have my church peeps (support) with me. I do have some support in my...
  8. C'Mon Now!

    Wow!! Our have to come from Austin and be notarized before we can get them. But they do get 5 (I think) at a time so when the 2 yrs are up, they can just have another one notarized for the next 2...
  9. School Shootings

    I'm not sure what the answer is about gun control. We do have laws in place now that even when followed to the "t" are not fail safe. I can't remember which shooting it was, but the shooter had gotten...
  10. More on Concussions

    Not only common, but how debilitating they can be. I have had some LD that have to go on home-bound services due to a concussion. Some of the most severe concussions I have dealt with have been...
  11. More on Concussions

    thanks.
  12. What's the nicest thing a parent said to you?

    Told me thank you for doing a new enrollment hearing test. LD failed test, grandmother had it looked at....Yep, has a hole in his eardrum. Every year after she put something like this, "hearing...

  15. Tired of School Nursing?

    Yes!! I say this all the time. My LD just laugh at me. Shoot it took me until I was 27 to go back to school to get my
  16. Suprise...

    I do like "black gospel" music. While I was filling out paper work for medication for Little Darling she hears my music playing in the back ground. She turns to me with a surprised look and says, "You...
  17. Is the flu in your school?

    We were hit before the Christmas Break on our JR High Campus, but doing better now. Not sure about our elementary or Kinder. One thing I do know is people need to stay home!!! My mom is currently in...
  18. Texas nurses

    Usually, I don't. They will usually be sent when the school requests transcripts via the registrar. Most of the time I don't even know they are leaving. If they are enrolling onto our campus, we have...
  19. Doctor notes

    I have called before. Most of the time, the nurse will take a note and call me back. I have also called the parent and asked them to make the call. And with that most times it's a long shot of getting...
  20. Students under the influence at school

    With our SOR on campus, I don't get asked to assess most of the time. We went through a training with the Sheriffs department a while back that was helpful, but I only had to use it a couple of times....
  21. Confusing Pay Rates

    We have both LVNs and RNs working in our district. The pay is different depending on which one they sub for. My boss has tried to get it changed, but because we (LVNs) are considered...
  22. Oh, yeah....

    This and this is happening, too. Don't you just love it when Little Darling just keeps adding symptoms after you say, "go back to class?" LD with migraines comes in and tells me she has been sick to...
  23. Oh, yeah....

    She was joking. She and I have a good relationship. If she wasn't grinning from ear to ear, I would have been worried and took her to the office. She was not up set with anyone. For whatever reason...
  24. Stocking OTC meds at elementary school level

    We stock topicals (itch cream, triple antibiotic ointment and orajel), tums and some other things. Tylenol, Ibuprofen, naproxen, pepto and such the parents must provide and give a parent note to...
