  1. Tell us about your school

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I am in a rural elementary, PreK-5th. About 370 students total. PreK has one teacher and every other grade has 3 except for first grade and they have four. VERY involved community, all three schools...

  2. What do you wear to work as a school nurse?

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to verdeacres's topic in School

    I wear business casual most days, occasionally I will wear solid color scrub pants with a tshirt, on Fridays we wear jeans. I don't particularly like scrub tops, I do like the pants, that's why I wear...

  3. baby friendly questions

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to Rhee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I realize this is an old topic, but I was interested in seeing what had became of the situation. In the hospital where I had my daughters (4 years ago and 14 months ago) , I was simply asked if I was...

  4. Campus Safety after CT shootings

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to Spidey's mom's topic in School

    We do the whole "everyone must sign into the front office and get a nametag", but we have NOTHING in place as far as having to be buzzed in or anything of that nature. The front door to our school is...

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to kingsmiley's topic in School

    I don't understand why a parent would be

  6. Made CPS report, what now?

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to squidbilly's topic in School

    I keep all records, but I've never been told to contact police. That would probably be a pretty handy thing to do, just in case a situation arises from the

  7. underweight kid

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to kingsmiley's topic in School

    I don't see any reason for the parent to be "smoking hot" over getting a letter that your child is in the 5-10% percentile for weight. It's not like we are "insinuating" anything or sticking our nose...

  8. Elementary Kids Took ME Down!

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to Britrn04's topic in School

    My first year here, me and my (then 9 month old daughter) STAYED sick. She turned 1 that December (She'll be 4 in two days!) and we were constantly sick. She had several bouts of bronchitis and then...

  9. Homeopathic Meds at School

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to clf314's topic in School

    I have a K student who takes homeopathic ADHD medication. I was very hesitant about giving this to her. My nurse supervisor for the school system said that we could give it to her, but we had to have...

  10. School Nurse Salary?

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to kegreat's topic in School

    We are NOT on teacher's scale, I have 8 years' experience, and have been with the school system for 3 years, and I make (roughly) $25,000 per year. The WORST part of my job is the pay. I would love to...

  11. Halloween.....

    SouthernSweetheart16 posted a topic in School

    Happy Halloween :-) Are you dressed up (in a costume) today?? Halloween costumes are a big thing at our school (rural elementary). So far today, as far as staff goes, I've seen a bookworm, Cleopatra,...

  12. Halloween.....

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to SouthernSweetheart16's topic in School

    It is a lot of fun!! I have two daughters (my oldest is almost 4 and my youngest will be one on Friday) and they are going as Little Bo Peep and her sheep! (The baby is the sheep). I'm scrambling to...

  13. Head Injury Complaint ~ What else could I have done?

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to OkiNurse74's topic in School

    If she was only 10 minutes away, I think you did fine. He probably didn't feel like being dragged around or going to the gym where it would have been loud and noisy. I wouldn't worry about it if I...

  14. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Several weeks ago, our three year old daughter got sick. She ran a fever of 103-104.5 for four days. Took her to the doctor after the first 24 hours, they did a rapid strep and strep culture---both...

  15. SIDS Pediatric Code

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to harrird's topic in Emergency

    As a nurse, and a Mom who sat through her own child's code almost 5 years ago, I know the heartbreak that the parents were feeling. I will NEVER EVER EVER forget finding my son in his corificeat, not...

  18. What supplies will I need?

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to misty_dawn's topic in School

    I don't buy anything out of pocket for my clinic. All my supplies are bought throughout the year (typically at the beginning of the year and over Christmas break) using school funds. I have bought a...

  19. School nurse denies inhaler

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to phnII's topic in School

    I don't see why it would matter if the school nurse was an LPN or RN. Even an LPN knows that if a student is in a true asthmatic emergency, to give the inhaler. That doesn't change, no matter what...

  20. Where are RNs school nurses?

    SouthernSweetheart16 replied to NursePamela's topic in School

    In TN, we have LPNs or RNs in schools. I'm an LPN and I cover an elementary and high school that are side by side. The middle school up the road has an LPN there also. Our county "traveling" nurse...
