  1. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    BWHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

  2. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    The funny thing is I really did contemplate how to communicate exactly that - "Feeding my Baby" "Nursing Mom" ...IDK. I mean, I work with MS/HS, they "Get it" and I dont really want them imagining my...

  3. Gabriel Fernandez Docu-Series on Netflix

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I found it interesting that they discussed/explained the "scapegoat syndrome." I was wondering why they focused their abuse on Gabriel and I want to learn more about that phenomenon. I feel AWFUL for...

  4. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I lock my door and have a sing that says privacy please or office closed. The front desk lady, the one who keeps walking in, knows my schedule for pumping (I've told her). I did consider sending an...

  5. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I decided I am going to meet with HR about it. We have to form a plan that protects my privacy, but also allows for me to respond to ACTUAL emergencies - you guys know what I mean by ACTUAL...

  6. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    ETA: the kid thought she had a fever.

  7. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    UNBELIEVABLE UPDATE: So I am pumping in my office and I hear the door pad beep, meaning the front desk lady is letting herself in. Fine - I told her she can come and get me for emergencies and I have...

  8. Gabriel Fernandez Docu-Series on Netflix

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    An update - I can tell a lot of teachers have also just watched this documentary because I have gotten a couple emails this week saying "so-and-so misses a lot of school, can you see what's up with...

  9. Coronavirus and Schools

    jnemartin replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I like the chart with all the cases by country, maybe I'll just do it like that. I was only going to track the US, state-by-state. That's the trouble - finding a chronological list of the cases with...

  10. Coronavirus and Schools

    jnemartin replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I'd like to make an epidemiological map for my office that shows the US cases of coronavirus (the type with pins in a paper map - super simple). I've had trouble finding a good source with...

  11. Gabriel Fernandez Docu-Series on Netflix

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I know our school policy is that the child won't go home until the case is investigated by CPS. We had a situation last year, and the CPS worker arrived at school within about 2 hours of the...

  12. Gabriel Fernandez Docu-Series on Netflix

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I should add that I realize they might not have even had a school nurse... I guess my reaction was more centered around the school in general not doing enough. That boy looked horrible in his final...

  13. Coronavirus and Schools

    jnemartin replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I don't have much to add because my school is also scrambling to keep up with all the latest twists and turns (and of course our small private school has no plan, and of course the admin wants me to...

  14. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    that's why I was worried they would turn it around on me... we do have a pumping room here. but obviously it's much more convenient for me to sit at my desk and pump (and better for them because I...

  15. Sub teachers grrrrr

    jnemartin replied to Nursesusu's topic in School

    on a separate but related note... my MS and HS principals always know when there is a sub nurse for me, because the subs tend to just send everyone home sick

  16. How do you get a sub?

    jnemartin replied to Jenniferocious's topic in School

    same for me! if I an sick or have a scheduled absence, they ask me to "reach out" to the sub nurses. Every other staff member just tells the secretary they will be out and she makes the calls. if I...

  17. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    The crazy part is that she knows my pumping schedule - 9, 1130, 1400. unless something comes up, but I'm pretty good about sticking to it. And she has never not knocked before. I just don't...

  18. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Stuff like what happened to me and what you described happens all too often. the problem is that the staff, being non-medical, tends to think everything medical-related is an emergency. Like a...

  19. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    She was so apologetic. I KNEW this day would come... but I really didn't expect her to bring a student in with her. I'm kinda pissed because now they are probably gonna make me pump in the "mom's...

  20. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    The student was a 10th grader. SMH. I want to go

  21. OTC meds for Staff

    jnemartin replied to cid1's topic in School

    I gotcha. That makes sense. I'm not sure I agree... but I do

  22. OTC meds for Staff

    jnemartin replied to cid1's topic in School

    I'm curious what the rationale on this is? Our school doesn't have a policy and I'd like to present some options to admin. Like if a teacher comes and requests 400mg ibu for a HA, what is our (the SN)...

  23. Which Thermometer Do You Use And Why?

    jnemartin posted a topic in School

    My thermometer has not been giving accurate readings. I bought a replacement and it was even worse! (I took my own temp several times, using all the different modes, and it was significantly different...

  24. my office is NOT a nap room!

    jnemartin replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    you guys... this is one of my favorite things to say: "In the absence of any other symptoms, tiredness is not a reason to see the nurse."

  25. Any Nursing Moms?

    jnemartin posted a topic in School

    I recently posted about returning to work last week after mat leave... and I'm back to ask for some advice about pumping schedules. If you find this topic uncomfortable or too personal, please stop...
