    Parent wants to stay all day

    Flare replied to NurseInTheHall's topic in School

    Yes! the confidentially to the other kids would be my primary concern. I get the fact that a parent may occasionally need to pop into our offices for this or that, but to practically set up shop -...

    No seriously, there's a (school) nursing shortage

    Flare replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    this, much like the nursing shortage in the hospital world - is created by the administration. The solution is simple - hire more nurses and staff better (oh, and pay better!). You'll get better...

    CBD administration in schools - thoughts?

    medical marijuana has been permitted by legislation passed and previous legal cases, however it's not anything i've had to contend with. CBD, however i am not sure of. In schools here we are not...

    Master's Practicum

    Flare replied to scrubsrn24's topic in School

    i guess it all depends on what your practicum entails. Do you have to develop a program and actually put it into action or is it just on paper? Can you utilize existing program and tailor them to...

    standing desk

    Flare replied to Bulldogs's topic in School

    i borrowed a yoga ball chair from ot/pt. it was fine, but honestly, i was happy enough to return it when they needed it for a student. I just try not to sit in one place too long and take a power...

    Why don't parents

    Flare replied to Feral.Cat.Herder's topic in School

    This is probably the biggest point of frustration of the job. You can bet if I am calling you, it's not to chit chat, it's because your child is sick or injured. (You can bet if i am calling you...

    "Cover" for a student?

    i've had students (older kids, usually) who have had to go home for various reasons that they have felt have been embarrassing. My piece of advice to them is all generally the same - you don't owe...

    I don;t pull teeth

    Flare replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    same. I once asked my supe (tongue in cheek) if he'd send me to dental school since i was in the process of deciding on my masters anyway - so why not just go for the next level - he laughed and...

    Valuing each other's time

    Does anyone else get emotionally exhausted from this job?

    Flare replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    yes - to all of this. I hear you and feel you. i think it's good to know that so many of us have the same type issues. I am a stickler for rules and laws. I won't bend or break them simply because...
