I had a teacher that was highly sensitive, and any essential oils would trigger a severe asthma attack. Student was moved to a different classroom. Personally, I can't stomach the smell of patchouli oil... mc3:snurse:

Me, Me! (raises hand and waves).... At a new school and so far so good:up: Darned if I don't keep forgetting about Pink Wednesdays though!!!! mc3:)

Darn! I forgot!!!

I've already gone in and done things on my own, but I officially start on the 8th! Best wishes to everyone for a happy and safe school year! :)

My current visit log is on paper. I want to create some kind of electronic record, so I can easily keep track of visits. Has anyone done this, and if so what did you use? I still will have to keep a paper log, though, so I may not be able to easil...

We have something different but does have the ability to put in visits. However, those entries will stay on the student's record indefinitely, which is of course not practical. Do you keep a paper log, then go and enter the info on the student recor...

Yup, that describes perfectly the weeks leading up to Field Day last week.

How? We're not allowed to let students sit in wet clothes or send them back, and even if they're dry they still have urine on then with the odor. My principal would have a fit if I did that. Nope, with my admin we have to keep clothes here. Of c...

There is one child in our school who has spina bifida. She is too little to adequately clean and change herself, and can't tell if she's gone (except for the odor..). The classroom has an aide, and she will clean and change her if she's there. If...

I'm so sorry, Far (hugs)

Ah, yes, allergy season strikes again!

:roflmao::roflmao: School nurses, you know what I mean

Yes, yes and yes!!! I still ask myself that 14 years later!

I agree with NurseSpeedy. LPN's have jobs that are just as stressful, so be careful making that assumption. Nurse jobs are stressful jobs; it's just part of it. Are there less stressful nurse jobs? I don't know..I'm a School Nurse and this job i...

Are you sure you're in the right forum? This is the School Nurses forum; is that what you wanted? mc3

What do you use the dish soap for?

Yes, it's true. I've decided the school doesn't need me, they only need someone who can call home. Kinda like a robot. Nursing judgment, eh, what does that mean??? My school is filled with special snowflakes who need to go home immediately if ...

Mmmmmmfffffffffff. (translated: Thanks, I feel better now 😁)

I would like to respectfully ask the Admins not to put this on FB. I really feel beaten up this week. This is the only place where I can come where I feel understood. Thank you. mc

:roflmao:

Aww, thanks everyone (((hugs back))). Yup, it's been a bad one. A small sampling of recent conversations had with parents: Today, for example, I discovered I had the ability to create a fever in a second grader! I admit it - it's my fault your l...

Funny, I was asking myself how much more I could take today!

I'm ready!

You're so mean, Mr Nurse! 😉

Ok, I'm not going to de-rail this thread with what I think a reality check at school could be 😉...
