    Narcan now available at Walgreen's

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    I need an order for narcan in my state. While I don't have right now. But I am grateful that the fire station around the corner that responds to my EMS calls with O2 within 2-3 minutes carries narcan...

    Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was in a direct-entry program a few years ago. I started working as a RN in a school setting while completing the MSN part of the program. I learned quickly that I needed RN experience before I...

    Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I do hope your children have never used the internet or a cell phone. Because, take it for what it is, sex is easy to find. And a lot of it is not factual, unfortunately. In my experience, pre-teens...

    Subs

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    I have one sub that I can usually rely on for a scheduled absence, but I usually check with her before I schedule that absence to make sure she can cover. Last minute sub in case I am sick? Surely you...

    Munchausen on the increase?

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    Well, clearly she is trying to kill him, right? Some things you just can't make

    Stomach Virus

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    The year noro hit my school, we had teachers vomiting left and right at school. The school actually had to shut down for two days for deep clean because more than 40% of student and staff population...

    Teenager with seizures kept from school?

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to Emergent's topic in School

    Same. A public school cannot exclude this student by law. And while perhaps a private school technically can, I highly doubt they would because I could see a lawsuit happen. Even if it went in the...

    Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Of course I'm allowed to say the word! I say it a lot, to be honest, and have lessons built around it. Your second question makes an assumption about comprehensive sex education when it comes to...

    Health curriculum advice

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    I've done this as well. I use some tools from a variety of places for my seniors to create what I call my College Health 101

    That Was Quick

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    Wow - I wish I could help kids get a referral and appointment that quickly. Usually I'm jumping up and down if Neuro can see them within a

    Stomach Virus

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    This. In recent memory we had half of our senior class out d/t vomiting (~35 students). It was a Friday and we cancelled afterschool and had a cleaning crew come in that weekend to deep clean. But, my...

    Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I hope abstinence involves abstaining from any type of skin-to-skin intimate contact. Because one does not have to have lady partsl sex to contract HPV. It can also be spread during oral and anal sex...

    HUGE mistake

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    That was my thoughts as well. Camera in my office while I am assessing students? Nope, nope, nope. We only have cameras in public areas at my school. So there is a camera in the hallway outside my...

    C'Mon Now!

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Not mention that tap shoes can be expensive to replace when one ruins them wearing them like a regular pair of shoes! I know some kids are picky about what they wear, but c'mon on

    HUGE mistake

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    I do a count when it dropped off (not for OTCs, I just note bottle drop off for them), note it in the computer and write the number of pills received on the bottle itself with my initials. The...

    Name change and stock epi

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    You can get them replaced - I did after using one and it was very, very easy. I did it through the Epipens For School website. I also was able to get two packs of 0.30 mg vs one of 0.15 mg because all...

    C'Mon Now!

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I just had a student come into my office and ask for a mint. The reason: "Another student farted in my mouth." Well, okay. Sure, kiddo, you can have that mint. (Turns out she was bending down...

    Name change and stock epi

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Same on my end. I love the locker they sent! And once I got the standing orders written and signed, along with a simple form provided my Mylan on their site, it was easy to upload those documents and...

    Not sure what to do...

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to TikiBSN's topic in School

    Per NASN: "Although evidence to support ratios was limited, some states and NASN recommended one school nurse to 750 students in the healthy student population; 1:225 for student populations requiring...

    Just a question on diabetic kid

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    Same. I have a student that I've been working with for three years and now we are navigating BG and puberty together. Parent and I (parent also a nurse) work together and luckily have orders with some...

    Horrible day! Need reassuring!

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to scuba nurse's topic in School

    That was my thought as well. Not to mention - naked child in the school nurse's office? That would not go well at all. Scuba - yay on your transfer! That is awesome and I am so happy your supervisor...

    I failed out of nursing school midway, now what?

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to Jkliu888's topic in General Students

    OP, I had a couple of friends that failed a class during nursing school. And yes, these classes were only offered once a year, so they had to wait an entire year to repeat the course. And they did....

    Documentation

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to PediNurseNYC's topic in School

    Can you reconcile the paper log until a single say, Excel spreadsheet log, at the end of each day for long-term reference? I say this because it may be helpful to track trends, etc because you can...

    Who is responsibile for field trip info?

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    Teachers are supposed to tell me, but they don't. I'm on grade level emails, so when a field trip is mentioned, I make a sticky with the grade and date and stick to my computer. I give a grade level...
