    OTC Meds and the 18 yr old student

    Flare replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I'd want an order for any student regardless of age. Also, said student would not be permitted to carry an OTC such as Advil - they can only carry / self admin epi, inhalers or insulin. I suppose if...

    Judgement being questioned

    Flare replied to GertieGrantRN's topic in School

    Teachers can be such germophobes. Uh... you work with tiny snot factories (and some not so tiny). Yes, you may get sick. Take some echinacea, wash your hands and keep swimming. Go use your prep to...

    Oh my pay cut!

    Flare replied to nursex23's topic in School

    most of us work some sort of side work - i did more when i first became a school nurse until the salary guide caught up to a reasonable payscale. Now I work summer school because it's good money and...

    Those parents who believe everything their kids say

    Flare replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I am fighting that fight right now. We are not peanut free. One parent is on a crusade for us to become peanut free. I'd be fine with us splitting the difference and the cafeteria not serving it,...

    The Big Chill

    Flare replied to beachynurse's topic in School

    i would also deem that one non ice worthy. Like the kids who come in looking for bandaids for the non-existant scrapes "because it hurts". It may hurt, but all bandaids do is absorb blood, they...

    When admin fails to share "critical" information

    Flare replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Because the nurse and guidance department certainly don't need that type of info, but it's top priority that the music teacher

    Flare replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I feel ya. When the nosebleeders go in to wash up and end up leaving the bathroom looking like you need to call in the crime sceme technicians. Even better when a staff member goes in after them and...

    Ugh...what would you have done?

    Flare replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

    ugh - sounds like my day. Kid is not feeling well due to a cold and coughing up mucus and PND so naturally it's the worst illness ever. Everyone don your hazmat suits. I called the parent who said...

    Insulin injection in inner thigh?

    Flare replied to naveiak's topic in School

    i suppose it would be fine - but sensitive! My only thought is that most of my T1D kids do not have very meaty thighs to begin with - if they dropped their cell phones while sitting on the throne,...

    Flare replied to jess11RN's topic in School

    You were the one there to make the assessment. Yes, an antihistamine *may* have been an option, but the epinephrine obviously reversed whatever reaction was happening. It might not have progressed...

    The Big Chill

    Flare replied to beachynurse's topic in School

    Generally to save my own sanity, I find that it's just easier to let them ice their perceived injury for a moment rather than argue with them for 5 minutes about why they no longer need the ice. When...

    What's the biggest challenge being a school nurse?

    Flare replied to Rocio8809's topic in School

    YAAASS!!! When I get down, I do like to take a moment to snap myself back into reality. I get paid well to see healthy kids. Sure, they can whine. Yes, the parents can be pains. But some days I...
