    Peanut allergy issue

    mc3 replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    Gotta agree with Mr. Nurse x2. We have a peanut free table in our cafeteria also. They get to pick a friend to sit with them - of course that friend does not have PB&J. Nobody to my knowledge...

    Health office software

    mc3 replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Old Dude - Hurrah, a fellow Skyward user! Do you use the section for Nurse Office Visits, where you put the reason for visit, findings, etc? We don't, and the thought is it's impractical because you...

    Calling parents

    mc3 replied to peacockblue's topic in School

    OK, then, do this. For each child that comes up, use an average of 5 minutes per phone call (look up the number, make the call usually leaving messages, talking to parent when they call back)....

    I had a 4th grade girl come down the other day to tell me she started her "puberty" today. She assured me she had pads and things but just wanted me to know about her "puberty" 😊Was going to...

    I am being moved in the fall from my beloved elementary school to either middle school or high school. I do have some say which it will be. Which, in your minds, would be a better choice? Pros and...

    elementary to middle or high school

    mc3 replied to mc3's topic in School

    One big problem I already see is that MS and HS now just text their parents to come pick them up if sick. There are no HS or MS nurses, this is new for them. There's going to be a big unhappy shock...

    I can't call all parents!!!

    mc3 replied to nicunursem10's topic in School

    I think of it this way.....If I see 40 kids/today and 30 were minor booboos and I called on each, that would be 30 calls at a minimum. 30 calls x 3 minutes/call = 90 minutes or 1.5 hrs, just making...

    Parents who can't/won't pick up kids

    mc3 posted a topic in School

    I have run into this situation frequently this year. One parent in particular is troublesome about this. When I call home for a feverish or sick child or if the child has lice, the parent just says...

    "the nurse"

    mc3 replied to Flare's topic in School

    I love it! Kind of along the same lines as "Nurse", not "Nurse mc3" or even "mc3", just "Nurse". I've considered calling our secretary "Secretary" instead of "Sue", or "Principal" instead of "Ms....

    Do you ever NOT give out ice packs?

    mc3 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    There is an "unofficial" FB page on my school, started by parents. One Dad posted that I wasn't doing my job, because all the kids in school had lice....Evidently it is up to me to thoroughly screen...

    Charter School Dilemma

    mc3 replied to NettieNurse's topic in School

    I would get the school SW and/or guidance counselor involved. Our SW will drive by the parent's home on occasion to see if they're home, and tell them their child is sick at school. I've also called...

    mc3 replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    I've had a few chronic lice students. I can ask our school SW and District RN to pay a home visit. Lots of times, the parent isn't treating correctly or not following up. The RN can help identify...

    This is a pet peeve of mine! The one in my office is the only one available for visitors to use. I don't like it when I have people traipsing in and out, especially when I have children in the...
