    Just happened. Had Little Darling I know to have history of headaches and is waiting for further testing come in for meds. In these cases after the initial reported charting I will just do the simple...

  2. Strange hearing screening question

    cooties_are_real replied to Cattz's topic in School

    (I it the quote button on OD's comment) My thoughts, too. Here on the high school level, if they raise a hand when I push the button it's a pass for

  3. This is a new one

    cooties_are_real replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I have wondered about this also. Then noticed some of my seniors who have had the Conscientious Objections for the 7th grade requirements are some of the first ones to get the MCV for college. What?!...

  4. Sometimes, you get something right

    cooties_are_real replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

    Great

  5. school stock meds given, do you notify?

    cooties_are_real replied to theredhen's topic in School

    What I have for standing orders for I don't generally call. There are the cases where I treat for a couple of weeks without seeing improvement and then call. As far as OTC pain medications, I will...

  6. NORMAL (UPDATE)

    cooties_are_real posted a topic in School

    I am feeling better with my 2 days off. Mom is doing good. I just decided to be the light. I do not have to be moved by the things happening. There is always hope. Trying to walk this out will a...

  7. Normal....

    cooties_are_real posted a topic in School

    ....the usual, average, or typical state or condition. This is one of the roughest years I have had since I started school nursing. Every year brings it's own challenges and I have come to accept this...

  8. Gotta Love Drama

    cooties_are_real posted a topic in School

    I'm sitting in my office talking with a student when one of my diabetics comes running in with a nasty looking "burn" on her forearm. She tells me she burned it with chemicals in science class. When I...

  9. That Was Quick

    cooties_are_real posted a topic in School

    Monday I sent a Little Darling home due to him having black "floaties" in his vision. When mom got here, she told me that the eye dr had called these ocular migraines. She said he did not understand...

  10. That Was Quick

    cooties_are_real replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    Mom said there was cancellation before she called. I'm so glad there was. I have seen kids suffer so much before they can get in. I know how frustrating migraines can

  11. Using Dexcom and not finger poke to treat?

    cooties_are_real replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I have a Little Darling with a CGM not sure which one, but I just spoke to his Dr. this am and she said to always check with his meter. There is a BIG difference in the orders I have and what mom is...

  12. kids going home when they really don't need to

    cooties_are_real replied to nurseshellyRN's topic in School

    Same here. I am at the high school

  13. Throwing up policy

    cooties_are_real replied to SchoolNurse2017's topic in School

    About call or contacting parent, I just let them know there is nothing else I can do for them and it will not be nurse excused. Policy on this one is we have to assess and call the parent if needed...

  14. Restroom Visits

    cooties_are_real replied to SchoolNurse2017's topic in School

    Yes. My restroom is in close proximity to my office, so I hear and smell everything. When Little Darlings go into my restroom to vomit, I automatically tell them not to flush or lock the door. I have...

  15. Another Bad Day

    cooties_are_real posted a topic in School

    Have you ever had the year from H_ll? It seems like this year has been and we just started our 2nd 6 wk. Please pray for our little community. It's been 3 wks since we lost a student here on the HS...

  16. Autistic Student w/Body Odor

    cooties_are_real replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    Yep! Had a young man a few years ago that I started to get calls on about body odor and dirty clothes. This was a student that has had hygiene issues since elementary. Mom even brought a hygiene kit...

  17. Success story!

    cooties_are_real replied to Kittery's topic in School

  18. What's the Pay Off?

    cooties_are_real posted a topic in School

    I have a Little Darling who moved to the district last year. Mom explained she has "seizure like episodes" on her emergency care form. States they have been trying for years to figure out whats is...

  19. Valid excuses to sit out of sports?

    cooties_are_real replied to Lemur's topic in School

    I don't normally excuse sitting out in PE. My go to answer is we have to have a physician order to let them sit out. I do have exceptions to the rule, for example, they fall and hurt limb right before...

  20. What's the Pay Off?

    cooties_are_real replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    On the upside of this, she doesn't have one every day or week. I have gone 2 weeks without seeing her. She is a pleasant LD and is always cheerful when she sees me sans

  21. What's the Pay Off?

    cooties_are_real replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    How odd it is you used that term. I was just talking with one of our diagnosticians about another possible case of this. It's amazing how many LD we have that could be labeled under

  22. What's the Pay Off?

    cooties_are_real replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    Little Darling is 15. She does come from a parent/step parent home. Seems to be "normal" (I use the term lightly). She is needy. She will come in the office at the end of an elective just to talk. Mom...

  23. Throwing up

    cooties_are_real replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I have kept some Little Darlings after they vomited several times, but I knew it was not an illness. Fever with vomiting gets you a ticket home for that day and the next. I have some diagnosed with...

  24. One diagnosis....

    cooties_are_real posted a topic in School

    does not excuse bad behavior. I don't care what you think the dr said. I have a Little Darling with history of bad behavior and just a turd. (I try to see the good in all, but this one it's very hard...

  25. One diagnosis....

    cooties_are_real replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    Nope, a dr note still does not allow your LD to sleep in class. Now LD's mother is upset with me because I instructed the teacher to send the student to the principal's office if he sleeps in class....
