    How do you manage your clinic?

    mc3 replied to mc3's topic in School

    Books are gone! :) That was a good suggestion. I'm afraid if I start a clipboard, I'll never get back to them because of the flow of kids not letting up. Seriously. I figured it out last week. I...

    Lvn...documentation error

    mc3 replied to Equus's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm so sorry you're going through this. It sounds like a nightmare. Even if you have to not drink coffee (or whatever) for a month, do not go without malpractice insurance. Ever.

    Extra Clothes

    mc3 replied to mmmiller's topic in School

    When Do I Tell My Boss . . . . ?

    mc3 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    As Altra said, it depends on your relationship with your boss. If I felt comfortable enough I would level with her and tell her what's going on. You don't have enought information yet to state...

    New Nurse-IM injections question

    mc3 replied to stacey914's topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering why you'd be giving B-12 injections at a chiropractor's office...do they do labs to check the levels first?

    Advice, please!

    mc3 replied to mc3's topic in School

    Thanks, everyone, for your response. The VP wrote a letter and showed it to me. My name was not on it. She asked me for my opinion, and I told her that 1) we were taking sides in something we...

    Needing advice...

    I had the worst day today. I was warned first thing about a parent whose children had contracted lice from their friends - probably a sleepover. The parents themselves found the lice - it was not...

    When are you calling home.....

    mc3 replied to crabbey16's topic in School

    Let's see...I call home if there are any scratches, red marks, etc on the child's face if they're in the younger grades. Of course, I always call home if someone bumps their head, even if there is no...

    Thanks, everyone. I truly appreciate your input. She discovered the lice on her own. It had nothing to do with me...I've told the secretaries many times not to just unlock the lobby door and let...

    Did I handle this wrong?

    mc3 replied to Talljt05's topic in School

    No, I don't think you did anything wrong. It is parent's responsibility to make sure the school has the correct contact information, not yours to go chasing telephone numbers around. Mom should...

    mc3 replied to schoolnurse1aB's topic in School

    Hi, and welcome! Unfortunately, the pay for school nurses - as for all nurses - is low. Something about the payback being sunshine all the time......I do love my job, but am making $5/hr less than...

    Cough drops in school?

    mc3 replied to lissaq10's topic in School

    Our district prohibits giving out, or even children carrying, cough drops. Even w/MD or parent note. Too much liabiity, and I agree.
