    JenTheSchoolRN replied to MegWorth's topic in School

    I don't, our office manager does. But we did move to an online system of doing it, so that helped a lot! Still need to track down a few teachers that don't log it and often they make mistakes. We can...

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

    Further update - parent now ready to blame the school if student is re-hospitalized, though I'm not certain how. Of course I also always wonder if I can help more. I've set up some staff to help me...

    That's So Fetch! (Pink Wednesdays)

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Given us East Coasters may be the lonely few in school today, I think we make our own today of many colors. I'm in navy, my soul is dark but not lost.

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to HCPSRMA's topic in School

    School Shootings

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Interesting example! I work closely with a counselor that holds all students accountable for their actions and I do the same (as does my school). Sure they can feel the way they feel, but what they...

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    School Shootings

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    My favorite complaint

    Has this happened to anyone else?

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    It really is. And it something you just build upon with experience, I think, especially when it comes to trusting it in our lonely school nurse
