  1. Is it okay to drink water after liquid medication?

    I will allow water if not contraindicated. Then I will tell of "when I was your age...." I remember taking Nyquil (it only came in liquid form then) and then my body convulsing because it was so horrible. Oh, yeah. No bubble gum or grape flavor for l...
  2. C'Mon Now!

    Oh, my! How I have missed this thread.
  3. C'Mon Now!

    Oh, yes!!! You come in talking and smiling, then when I ask what is wrong, (pained look comes over your face) "I have a migraine." Really?!
  4. Weird reasons to come to school nurse?

    Little Darling comes in the office. I asked her why she came to the office, she touches her hair that came out of the bun. Yes she wanted us to put it back in.
  5. And Just Like That...

    they walk out of your life.... My young man, who I have seen so much growth in this year, just came by to say, "So long." 4 years ago before I ever met him, we had already been informed of student ODD and other diagnosis that made it very hard to con...
  6. And Just Like That...

    YES!!! Even this morning I find myself almost teary eyed once again. With this tough year, I'm choosing to focus on the successes!
  7. INSTANT MOM

    We rec'd a call that a Little Darling had collapsed in the hallway. I grab my emergency bag and call for the other nurse to get the wheelchair and meet me. When I get there I see LD sitting in the hallway who has recently been diagnosed with panic/an...
  8. INSTANT MOM

    You are right. Nurse #2 was fine with everything. It's just been a very stressful couple of days. But all is well. Thank you.
  9. INSTANT MOM

    Thanks, OD. Took the last paragraph out. Would have to go into way to much detail to clear up that mess. Again, ready for the bell to ring on May 31st.
  10. Summer 2018 Plans?

    I have always wanted to go on Mercy Ships during the summer. I will give you an update when I can. This will be my first time out of the country.
  11. If a student is 18

    Same thing here.
  12. Summer 2018 Plans?

    June 9th-16th I'm going a mission trip to Guadalajara, Mexico. (I can't wait!!!) At the end of June we have a family reunion. I will stay in Oklahoma for about 2 weeks after to spend time with my mom. Gotta workshop at the end of July and also have t...
  13. Happy Mother's Day!

    Thanks OD!!
  14. Concussion Frustration

    Really frustrated today. I have 2 LD with concussions. LD1-diagnosed around Christmas; LD2 about 6 weeks ago. Both have dragged on so long, one might think some was put on or just fear of pain or testing. LD1-don't see that often, but this week and l...
  15. Concussion Frustration

    Not that I am aware of.
  16. Concussion Frustration

    Yes, to the no screens. Some of LD2 classes are totally on the computer. It doesn't help when the teacher catches him on his phone and when she encourages him to work he needs to come see me for meds (I just found out this part).
  17. Concussion Frustration

    LD2 has. Mom made him get his eyes dilated to check any eye issues. Per the concussion specialist there is eye and brain "disconnect". They tested him earlier this week and said he was better some.
  18. Nurses Pass?

    At the high school and middle they are to have a pass. Either the class pass or the nurse's pass which has a spot for the teacher to sign and then a spot for the nurse to sign out and initial. Our kinder campus and elementary campuses have a pass th...
  19. FriYAY

    Freezing. Our chillers are malfunctioning, so it's always like 32 or below. Gotta wear long sleeves and a jacket. (Gonna get fixed over the summer) Other than that, I'm only doing what I have to. Not gonna start nuthin', until Monday!
  20. FriYAY

    it's a penguin!!!!!! Happy friday!!!
  21. Feels...

    All up in my feels this am. I have had 2 seniors come to me, one with a allergic reaction (unknown origin) and one with a personal issue that he didn't even tell dad about. I didn't solve the problems, but did what I could. As the young man left, it ...
  22. Trainer Issues

    I am subbing at the kinder school today. I rec'd an e-mail from my boss with a message similar to this, "Little Darling is not to see trainer for anything. I will tell you more tomorrow." Knowing the history between trainer and this LD, I wasn't to w...
  23. Trainer Issues

    Thank you.
  24. Is It Summer Yet?!

    I am so ready for summer. Girl drama has got me frustrated. Oh, wait there's enough drama lately to make me stressed. But all is well.
  25. Trainer Issues

    Oh, how I wish it was this simple. It has now totally exploded into a major issue for the trainer. My superior and I both are like, "wish I would have just gotten the ice." It is my opinion that this was just a situation that was going to happen soo...
