  1. Teachers and odors

    stephaniehowe replied to griffabilly's topic in School

    I have been asked to talk with students and we just have a general how are you, and many other questions that go around where I'm not asking straight out why do you stink?! I say it's important that...

  2. Dealing with a patients death

    stephaniehowe replied to abby.reece's topic in General Students

    Death is always a sad time no matter the circumstances. And you will also remember your first one. Mine was as a CNA, I worked wkend doubles and left my little lady who was too cute for words and...

  3. Parents that are nurses

    stephaniehowe replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in School

    Daily occurance for me! But it the end you are doing your job and need to protect your license! Time for them to take off the scrubs and put on their mom jeans! Sometimes when making a difficult call...

  4. Diabetic Logs

    stephaniehowe posted a topic in School

    Top of my to do list is to make a new log for my diabetic that her mom can use at home that is less confusing for the Dr to read. The form I found in the office at the beginning of the yr is not big...

  5. Diabetic Logs

    stephaniehowe replied to stephaniehowe's topic in School

    Seems like a great website, maybe I should check out my state's school nursing website as

  6. Diabetic Logs

    stephaniehowe replied to stephaniehowe's topic in School

    That program sounds awesome, but they are on a fixed income and do not own a device/computer that accesses internet. "Mom" is really grandmother, despite being a diabetic herself does care very much...

  7. Respect....or the lack thereof...(RANT ALERT!)

  8. diaper rash vs. burn and CPS case

    stephaniehowe replied to typoagain's topic in Pediatric

    Just from my experience as a mother, my daughter occasionally had the foul smelling diarrhea and each time she would breakout with a horrible yeast rash. She had gotten the Rotavirus around 9m, and...

  9. Lunch vent

    stephaniehowe replied to tictac's topic in School

    I have a set time I take lunch which is not until 230. I emailed teachers beginning of year to not send anyone after 215 because that is when I'm finishing up charting and getting kids out of my...

  10. Head Lice Angst

    stephaniehowe replied to Ilovegiraffes's topic in School

    I had someone come to my office at the beginning on the yr. She calls herself the "Nit Picky Mom", she charges $60/hr!!! My population of kids couldn't afford that, so I doubt she gets really any...

  11. A new argument against lice checks in school

    stephaniehowe replied to fetch's topic in School

    Have a feeling this might be me soon, I've had to send a student home 12 times this school year with lice. I don't even call anymore since mom never comes and picks her up when she says she is on her...

  12. Monday return visit vent

    stephaniehowe replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

    I hate when I get a student returning to my office with the pass asking if I could check the student again, doubt much has changed in 30mins! So ready for

  13. Frequent Flier Teachers

    stephaniehowe replied to Kschaefer90's topic in School

    I had a kid who hurt his wrist while washing his hands! Guess I should be proud he even washed

  14. Frequent Flier Teachers

    stephaniehowe replied to Kschaefer90's topic in School

    I have this one teacher who everyday it is like a marathon, one goes back to class and hands off the pass to another. I believe she is a new teacher and more afraid of liability, and all of my...

  15. The miserable mother strikes again!

    stephaniehowe replied to RNlove17's topic in School

    I had baby boy come in again today because he had fallen while playing volleyball and some of the scab came off. No swelling noted! Slapped a bandaid on again, didn't have ice handy but he said he can...

  16. The miserable mother strikes again!

    stephaniehowe replied to RNlove17's topic in School

    I had one of those yesterday because baby boy scrapped he knee and she is upset she did not receive a call. I'm sorry but a 10yr old can tell you what happened when he gets home! Even though it was...

  17. I Wanted To Slap Her

    stephaniehowe replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

    I say with that attitude she probably isn't proactive in her health since she shouldn't be so shocked by the NP making the comment. I would just try and brush it off, I know it's very hard to do. But...

  18. Gave epi today

    stephaniehowe replied to SassyTachyRN's topic in School

    Thought yesterday would have been my first time too. My peanut girl comes in eating a Reese's! Same girl who was touched by a kid who had a peanut butter sandwich for lunch. It was only a mild topical...

  19. EMS call what would you do?

    stephaniehowe replied to rnjetta12's topic in School

    Absolutely did the right thing, shame on her for being more concerned about a 3hr train ride then the well being of her child! Had a student a couple wks back who fell from 10ft swinging and hit his...

  20. TGIF

    stephaniehowe posted a topic in School

    Had a routine busy day like everyday. At 2 o'clock I have 1 student in my office for the 3rd time with period cramps, could not do anything else for her. Apparently she didn't feel good and wouldn't...

  21. TGIF

    stephaniehowe replied to stephaniehowe's topic in School

    It was a great wkend at home doing nothing! I will find out a little later how my possible Pertussis student is doing. We have mass vision and hearing screenings today at another school, and I'll be...

  22. Victory!

    stephaniehowe posted a topic in School

    All my kiddos are up to date as of now for immunizations and I didn't have to call and "harass" anyone

  23. Victory!

    stephaniehowe replied to stephaniehowe's topic in School

    Before school let out for summer, letters were sent home saying the shots that were needed. Many of students had them during break but I had to spend lots of time looking them up from the state data...

  24. Chapstick dispenser needed!

    stephaniehowe posted a topic in School

    If only there was a Chapstick dispenser and bandaids outside the office it would be so much easier for me! In only the first wk I couldn't count how many Chapsticks I handed out or bandaids over paper...

  25. Chapstick dispenser needed!

    stephaniehowe replied to stephaniehowe's topic in School

    My bad it is not "Chapstick", we have Blistex samples and Qtips. But they are killing me over cracked lips! I'm working on making baggies but I've been so busy with kids in and out, and putting in...
