  1. That's So Fetch! (Pink Wednesdays)

    NanaPoo replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I totally agree that the dream was a visit. I lost a close friend to suicide in my early 20's and that's the one and only time I've had a deceased loved one visit me afterwards in a dream. It was...

    NanaPoo replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    I know!! I think I will DIE when my daughter leaves for high school! Most days she gives me a grin and a wave as her 6th grade class passes but I just LOVE it when she stops by and gives me a hug or...

  5. Random Thoughts: School Nurses

    NanaPoo replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I just got a call from a teacher asking, "can you tell me what the current outdoor temperature is and what does it need to be to take the kids outside?" #1) Do I look like Al Roker?? #2) Should I just...

  6. Malingering Monday

    NanaPoo replied to Flare's topic in School

    I just had a kid who "fell and hit my eye on the rug."

  7. Mobile IV infusions... for hangovers

    NanaPoo replied to Dogen's topic in General Nursing

    Those patients who "need electrolytes" might also need to be on telemetry. When my potassium gets low it gets as low as 2.0 and, as much as I'd love to be at home in the comfort of my own bed getting...

  8. New School Nurse, need some advice on what daily activities yall do?

    NanaPoo replied to amleah10's topic in School

    Welcome! I'm glad you found us! This is my 2nd full year as a school nurse and I've learned so much from the school nurses here in this forum and gotten some great ideas here. There is some loneliness...

  9. MED ERROR....

    NanaPoo replied to Jerseygirl314's topic in Patient Medications

    Thankfully your patient is okay and this med error will be a great learning experience to keep you on your toes from now on. We all make mistakes and it doesn't generally end our careers. I can name 2...

  11. Friday!

    NanaPoo replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Heck yes it's Friday. Every now and then I have a slowish Friday and this appears to be one of those. Of course I'm jinxing myself by saying

  12. The dreaded topic...lice

    NanaPoo replied to nyy2's topic in School

    AND, just to be clear here...we can be sued if a kid gets lice? We can be sued if we check a kid for lice? I imagine I can be sued if I also DO NOT check a kid for lice,

  13. The dreaded topic...lice

    NanaPoo replied to nyy2's topic in School

    My first grade classrooms have been the hub of lice this school year and, this week, the flu. I second the TGIF! Is it Wine O'clock

    NanaPoo replied to Flare's topic in School

    Just borrow some from the school nurse. I know she's got like 5 of em in her drawer! I'm not gonna borrow hers, ya

  15. standing orders

    NanaPoo replied to kayakqueen's topic in School

    That makes perfect sense. I thought the same thing when I worked it through my brain! I read through all 31 pages of my state's practice act and couldn't find a single thing on this. Then I found...

  16. standing orders

    NanaPoo replied to kayakqueen's topic in School

    Thank you for this info! My clinic has been set up for several years to my coming on so I've made the assumption that all was being done correctly. I'm definitely going to look at my state practice...

  19. Nursing and the supernatural

    NanaPoo replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    In my 12 years of hospice, both inpatient and home hospice, it was very common to have patients in their last 2 days or so report seeing deceased family members in their room and particularly at the...

  20. Are clinic and school nursing jobs "too easy"

    NanaPoo replied to Jenfred's topic in General Nursing

    Hey! Are you calling my job trash?? And, trust me, they definitely wouldn't pay you enough. I love it but I'm definitely not in it for the $$ We bought lottery tickets yesterday just because the...

  21. Are clinic and school nursing jobs "too easy"

    NanaPoo replied to Jenfred's topic in General Nursing

    Like Farawyn said, there's downtime until there isn't! I would have never wanted this "cush" school nurse job until I had some serious acute care job under my belt. I came to school nursing after 15...

  22. Need Help QUICK .Are you responsible for getting sub coverage

    NanaPoo replied to lakewin's topic in School

    I have to find my own subs even if I'm dying. I've called subs from an ER bed and gotten all "no, I'm too busy" from all of them before. Very discouraging. I've added a new sub this year that I think...

  23. standing orders

    NanaPoo replied to kayakqueen's topic in School

  24. Interesting Article

    NanaPoo replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    And while you're looking for PooPouri videos, also search for the Squatty Potty commercial on YouTube. That was my favorite video for all of 2015. That is clever
