  1. Does this weird anybody else out?

    NanaPoo replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I also keep a clean, fitted sheet on my cot because it's really a canvas camping cot. So if anyone lays on the cot I have to change sheets (and take those dirty sheets home at night to wash). So I...

  2. Does this weird anybody else out?

    NanaPoo replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    My cot is in a small room to the right of my desk. The very end of the cot pokes out at the door. But I have the feet at the door end. Some kids will flip the pillow to the door side so they can watch...

  3. How would you react? Body odor discussion.

    NanaPoo replied to Nurse-rachet1's topic in General Nursing

    I would personally want someone to tell me, in a kind, sensitive manner, that I wasn't smelling so good and needed a good scrub and generous deodorant. I'd hate to think a visitor would be subject to...

  4. question about nurses on methadone

    NanaPoo replied to Ntheboat2's topic in General Nursing

    If they should call in regards to these nurses taking Methadone, I hope the Board fines them with a HIPAA

  5. Lice Options

    NanaPoo replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I live in a wealthy, snooty district and there are tons of these lice salons in my area. Since I'm in a private school, I'd say 100% of my parents have gone the lice salon route in the 3 years that...

  6. Fidget Spinners

    NanaPoo replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Yep, they're everywhere. I'm actually thankful for them and those fidget boxes (or whatever they're called) because they're nowhere near as annoying as flipping water bottles. I have a student who...

  7. Do you ever NOT give out ice packs?

    NanaPoo replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I guess I'm more of an ice pack socialist rather than an ice pack

  8. Lice suicide!

    NanaPoo replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    And, since we're all speaking out, I must end my silence. I've repressed my guilt and shame for 3 years now. In my first year as a school nurse a louse jumped from a 5th grader's head and onto his...

  9. Lice suicide!

    NanaPoo replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Herein lies the problem. You must physically measure the space between a louse's pelvic bones to determine it's

  10. Do you ever NOT give out ice packs?

    NanaPoo replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I get ice from the machine in the cafeteria every morning and keep it in a beer cooler in my clinic. I make ice packs with ziploc baggies wrapped in paper towels. I give out ice packs pretty freely...

  11. Lice suicide!

    NanaPoo replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    How do you know it was a he? It was likely a female louse as male on female louse violence is at an all time

  12. C'Mon Now!

    NanaPoo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    My first visit of the day was for a sunburned nose..he wanted something to cover it up because it looked embarassing. Yes, because the bandage across your nose & under your glasses does NOT look...

  13. My Mom passed away. Did I do the right thing?

    NanaPoo replied to LovingMom1's topic in General Nursing

    Your mom was incredibly blessed and fortunate to have you with her for so long. It sounds like you took such wonderful care of her, looking after each detail and staying close to her. I worked as a...

  14. My coworker was high and got away with it

    NanaPoo replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    So, if I snapchat myself taking my a.m. pills, someone could bust me for being high mid-morning at work? Because who's to say that wasn't a handful of Lortab, or Percs, or Oxy?? Right??? I mean, it...

    Bingo, Old Dude. You're one of the good

  16. C'Mon Now!

    NanaPoo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Ha! Now we're supposed to create a pain-free environment. That's rich! I just had my daily 2nd grade boy come in for his post-lunch Ritalin. He has this routine where he drops his pill in a tiny bit...

  17. Life update from a former school nurse

  18. C'Mon Now!

    NanaPoo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    You're my hero. I need to bring down the hammer on my little, precious snowflakes. I have a 2nd grader that comes in everyday after lunch and says crazy stuff like, "I was limping this weekend." Then...

  19. C'Mon Now!

    NanaPoo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    My next door neighbor has the essential oil parties and swears by them. Her teen-aged daughter has cerebral palsy and she loves her some Donald Trump. It is mind-blowing. Maybe is is somehow related...

    Well, you are a

  21. Would you have called?

    NanaPoo replied to bluebonnetrn's topic in School

    I agree that parents need to be informed..to a point. Our previous school nurse didn't document AT ALL and didn't communicate with parents AT ALL. My daughter told me if she went to the nurse and told...

    NanaPoo replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

    You could've totally lurked around this forum anyway. I'm glad you've moved on to greener

  23. Pet Peeve Friday

    NanaPoo replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I don't think I'm getting my point across appropriately. I am in a private Christian (Baptist) school where a uniform is required. There are no micro-minis, thongs or cleavage issues. Our girls are...

  24. Emergent Situation Gone Wrong. Ideas?

    NanaPoo replied to Tencat25's topic in School

    I've been attempting the First Responder team all 3 years that I've been here. Every August when I look for a first responder on each floor of the campus, faculty and staff suddenly develops this...

    NanaPoo replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    As a school nurse it didn't take me long to realize that roughly 20-30 kids per day announce they feel like they're going to throw and it's a big, fat lie. They never throw up and they're just a)...
