    Coming in late with a weird question

    Flare posted a topic in School

    Hey gang - It's been a heck of a month. I'm still not dug out yet and the precious few minutes that I did have to take a breather were spent focusing on working on papers for my masters. No joke...

    Do you always send home after Vomiting 1x?

    Flare replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    i agree with our virtual co-workers. It really depends. If the kid just has that look then yes, you're out the door. If it was a mouthful of phlegm, unwitnessed, or ar a result of food not sitting...

    What would you do?

    Flare replied to jess11RN's topic in School

    i wouldn't pay for it myself just for that. I pay my own dues to my county school nurse assoc, but it's no where near that

    Otherwise Becomes Aware - Input Requested

    Flare replied to OldDude's topic in School

    so let me get this straight... they want you to incite mass chaos because a parent calls you to tell you they treated Nadine for lice over break? And they want you to also incite the same chaos...

    Flare replied to stephrooth's topic in School

    i had a kid a number of years ago, when I was just a bright little spark, who was compliant for me for ages. I'll admit that I was comfortable with him and didn't always watch him swallow it. I...

    Essential Oils

    Flare replied to janetpa's topic in School

    i rather like when my office reeks of Sanitex and Lysol. I feel like i am really earning my pay then. When people come in and say "oh! it smells like a nurse's office in here!" i reply with "what...

    Crappy question

    Flare replied to MendyT's topic in School

    I agree, CPS needs to be given "an update". This rings especially true if there still is no water in the house, no clean clothing being sent in and no way to contact a parent. It sounds like a...

    Essential Oils

    Flare replied to janetpa's topic in School

    i've made mention before that i i use oils, but on a personal level. I also have a diffuser in my office, but that's to use in the absence of students - so i tend to run it before or after bell or...

    Enablement Overload

    Flare replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Most of us who are long in the tooth as school nurses, sadly, have come across the child you describe. That is not our run of the mill visitor. That is not the child that runs around until they are...

    I had a call last week where a parent wanted to tx his child into my school but only if I would accept his religious exemption that a neighboring school would not. Then went on to tell me that he got...

    Med admin difficulty

    Flare replied to stephrooth's topic in School

    i'm not above doing mouth checks, no matter the age, if I suspect that the medication is being cheeked. I agree though that the parents should be in the conversation if not already aware that there...

    Why do teachers

    Flare replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    i don't think the teachers realize we need to chart every blasted thing that comes through our door. or probably don't care. I choose to believe the former to keep the peace even though I know in my...

    Coming in late with a weird question

    Flare replied to Flare's topic in School

    me either. If i am pressed, i will answer questions about them, but not happily. I actually had a parent call me up to try and debate vaccines with me. The kicker - not even one of my students....
