  3. Med training for non-medical staff??

    ohiobobcat replied to naveiak's topic in School

    Our state provides us with training materials for unlicensed personnel (ULP) medication administration training. It usually takes about 4 hour to complete the course and watch the videos and take the...

  4. Curiosity

    ohiobobcat replied to imaneedmycoffeefirst89's topic in School

    I have 650 students, grades 9-12. I also cover the junior high, grades 7-8 for a few hours on T-W-Th. There's probably 250 students there. I average 25-35 visits between the 2 schools. I have gone...

  5. Athletic Trainers

    ohiobobcat replied to EnoughWithTheIce's topic in School

    I, too, am an RN who used to be an athletic trainer. When I was an athletic trainer, I never iced my athlete's with a barrier between their skin and the ice. As a matter of fact, I would WRAP that ice...

  6. Funny Ranting

    ohiobobcat replied to mariarico's topic in School

    "I can't fix nausea." "I need more information than 'I'm sick'." Said almost always after student announces "I'm sick" in a pathetic voice and then stands there looking at me expectantly for 5-10...

  8. Who is back already?

    ohiobobcat replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Today is the 1st day with all the students. Freshman came yesterday for orientation. (Already had some kid punch a wall .) Teachers (and I) started on Monday, which was meetings all day. Tuesday...

  9. Does Anybody Else...

    ohiobobcat replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    I wear scrubs some days, and regular clothes other days. The only other people who wear scrubs to school are CNA students who go to the technical school for part of the day. And they only do that...

  10. Using School Computer

    ohiobobcat replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I post and look during work hours. That's the only time I am actually on a computer. I have gotten some really good, close to real-time advice from this site regarding caring for my students. I am...

  11. Neosporin, Cough Drops, & Crutches

    ohiobobcat replied to FloridanurseRN's topic in School

    I have standing orders for bacitracin and cough drops. I use bacitracin sparingly, only if a wound is looking infected. Cough drops, meh, I can take them or leave them. They are nice to have for...

  12. Maine?

    ohiobobcat replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in Camp

    I'm going to ask my director if she has ever gotten anything like this. Bridgton is a bit of a commute from my camp, but the Belgrade Lakes region has a ton of summer camps, so it would make sense...

  13. What's the nicest compliment you've gotten as a nurse?

    ohiobobcat replied to NurseNinja1990's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a school nurse. I had a student start to develop symptoms of anaphylaxis about 20 minutes or so after eating some peanut M&Ms. She was terrified, and once I realized her symptoms were...

  14. Maine?

    ohiobobcat replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in Camp

    Hm- I've never even heard of such a thing. I guess the hospitals in my area (one of which I used to work at so I think I might have at least heard about it) don't do this. My camp is a little farther...

  15. Maine?

    ohiobobcat replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in Camp

    I float around Maine all the time, since I live there year round. But alas, you will not see me there, as I already have my camp job. As a matter of fact, I moved out to my new (to me anyways) cabin...

  16. Last monday

    ohiobobcat replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Same. My brother is a SpEd teacher in Ohio and he likes to rub in the fact that they get out in May. Him: "Oh, you're still in school? We got out last week." (in that smug little brother tone) Me:...

    ohiobobcat replied to OldDude's topic in School

    Thanks! I hope all the moms on here had a wonderful Mother's Day! (I'm a little late to the party, but the sentiment is still

  19. Teacher assessments

    ohiobobcat replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I did not know this!!! I don't add students very often, so I never realized there was a drop down menu there that has a STAFF option. I will be sure to document here for staff interactions from now...

  22. Later start time

    ohiobobcat posted a topic in School

    We just got word that our start time (we are a JH/HS complex) is going to be pushed back to 7:50 am for the next school year. Right now our school day starts at 7:20 am and ends at 1:45 pm. Next year...

  23. Later start time

    ohiobobcat replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    I agree! I have to be here by 7:03. I only live 5 minutes from the school and I think it's early. We are a large rural district with lots of farm land. Some students are getting on the bus at...

  25. School closures...

    ohiobobcat replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Well, this news sucks (to put it bluntly). I am so sorry to hear this, for both you and you kids. Fingers crossed that a solution that benefits everyone works itself
