    Most Frustrating Thing ?

    fetch replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Here's a new one: "Student is sneezing uncontrollably." What do you want me to do, cut off his nose?! He's totally fine in the clinic and in his other teacher's room . . . I'm guessing the 2nd...

    I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    fetch replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And here's a possibility no one seems to have considered thus far: Mrs Dick knows about Heidi, and is okay with it (or possibly even in a relationship with her as well). I know polyamory isn't really...

    Just throwing my hat in the ring as another whose final clinical was with a "preceptor" and the instructor wasn't there most days. Even so, we definitely did NOT give medications without that...

    fetch replied to GatezRN's topic in School

    I could see calling home to speak to the parents just to make sure there's nothing else going on - I had a kid falling asleep and lo and behold, he was allowed to watch TV until 1am. Well gee, I...

    Most Frustrating Thing ?

    It's very mysterious how these kids are falling asleep in class, and coughing all over everyone, and nearly puking in a trash can . . . but as soon as they walk down the hall to the clinic they...

    Pregnant nurse interviewing for school nurse position - need advice

    fetch replied to newSN's topic in School

    Personally I wouldn't bring it up at all. Legally they can't ask you about it, and as you said you don't even know how it will turn out (though of course I wish you the best!). I would be afraid it...

    Did I do the right thing?

    fetch replied to rainydaysRN's topic in School

    1. How can the hospital say you didn't follow protocol? Do they have a copy of your district/school protocol? Do YOU have a copy? Read over it, cover your butt, you'll probably find you did everything...

    Wrapping Injuries

    fetch replied to nurseshajwani's topic in School

    I've only wrapped once - it was a case where the student's legal guardian also worked at the school so I was able to send her back to class and then pull them both an hour later to re-assess. (At the...

    Any advice for a NEW new school nurse?

    fetch replied to MidgekinRN's topic in School

    I had only about a year of experience before starting school nursing as well, and the best advice I can give you is that some teachers will sense any insecurities and will try to make you do what THEY...
