I watched this story last night on the news through tears. My heart breaks for you fawnmarie, the parents and families and the entire community. Much love to you and the school staff, parents and community. I think I hugged every kid in our building ...

This day wore me out!! We had dental clinic and between getting kids to the clinic, regular med and diabetic visits and dealing with the vomiting I'm exhausted! So happy tomorrow is only half day! Happy Thanksgiving School Nurses!!

Today's C'mon visit from a 1st grader. "I'm not sick but my dog pooped in my underwear" This was 4 hours into the school day!! No dog on campus and no smell so back to class the little dear went! The worst part was the teacher that overheard the stu...

Sadly, I have done something similar. Once in LTC job, I was called to patient's room by his daughter. She was changing her dad's shirt and noticed his arms and chest blue. VS all stable, no real distress. Daughter insisted and I, as a brand new nurs...

I've not had much time to check in with my coworkers here lately, but haven't missed a fetch pink Wed. This year is crazy so far!!! (have a lot going on outside of work with family things) Tomorrow is think pink day for us. So I'll be in the pink twi...

Shake it off. I would have done the same as you.

Your state's Board of Education website should have a tab with the state health requirements. Good luck and welcome to the group!

Had a mother tell me earlier this week that her T1D kindergardener packed her lunch 2 days ago and she didn't know what was in the lunch bag. (First red flag). I opened the lunch bag to find 3 chocolate doughnuts, pringles chips, cheese stick and cra...

PK - 5 200 kids enrolled, 4 ADHD meds, 2 T1DM seeing about 25-30 total each day, most of which could be handled in the classroom if the teachers would just take the band aids! Paper cuts, picked scabs really don't need the nurses attention during lun...

I'm in for Pink, I can't deal with another change this year.

Welcome back! It's been wild in my office the last 12 days, very little time to check in with the AN peeps. 168 more days of craziness, not that I'm counting or anything....

The last time a teacher asked me that, my reply was "no I just play one on TV" .

Not for my diabetics, I'm lucky to get a parent to answer their phone. Packing a lunch for the little dears just might cause them to have to ADULT!

It's a lot of extra work for me but worth it, to go with the 2 in my school. We pick out the meal together and I check their trays after they finish. We are carb counting for a kindergarden and 3rd grader. It's two trips across the building but worth...

As I walked into the building this morning a teacher stated, "it must be Wed the nurse is in pink". Happy Pink Wednesday!

I started back last Thursday, kids start back tomorrow! I'm buried under mountains of paperwork today checking all those shot records! I miss being outside so much! Thankfully I have you all to take a break with now and then!

I have to be back at school on the 4th, kids return on 10th. I'm NOT ready! I love hot summer days by the pool or on the golf course! Going to enjoy the last two days of freedom on the golf course with my golfer girls!

The program I worked for made it uniform across the board, health forms for center based and home based due dates the same. Home based kids could not attend the monthly group outings unless all paper work was current. Parents seems to get it togethe...

But I'm in flip flops right now, at school! It's our last day, 63 minutes til the bell!

Field day survivor here! We had ours Tuesday. Bouncy houses and water slide, only one injury one water slide, a few abrasions at the bouncy houses. We had some very diligent PTO parents watching those kids, esp on the water slide (broken arm and ankl...

I felt a little sad this morning when I was putting on my fetch pink. It's the last fetch Wednesday of this school year for me, but I'll try to stay fetch on the course this summer!

We are done next Friday!! Five more days! I'll join some the the staff on the last day after the kids are gone for a brew to celebrate and then we have a staff breakfast next week, after that I"m avoiding teacher type people for 2 months.
