    How to handle a 3rd grade hypochondriac?

    Flare replied to River Song, RN's topic in School

    Yaas!! i do this all the time. Turn back to my work and toil away. Once they start trying to tell me about their video games or movies or whatever it becomes clear that it's less a case of a virus...

    ADHD child giving issues

    Flare replied to Amethya's topic in School

    How to handle a 3rd grade hypochondriac?

    Flare replied to River Song, RN's topic in School

    The problem with offering them the ambulance is that these dramatics want that level of show over nothing. They truly think that an afternoon spent in an ER and pulling parents away from their jobs...

    Flare replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

    How much input does the student have over when and where she can eat these snacks? Anorexia is largely about control. Perhaps if she is not comfortable coming to your office and there is another...

    So my state allows us to grant provisional admission as long as there is one dose of everything and the students are "actively" in the process of receiving the rest. They apparently have 12 month to...

    Glucagon delivery method

    Flare replied to Mango Juice's topic in School

    We can delegate here in my state, but here's where it gets tricky. You must volunteer as a delegate for this training. No duh, Flare, you say. It's the same thing with and epipen. Yes. Well, i've...

    "My chest hurts"

    Flare replied to great_lakes_expat's topic in School

    i get a lot of "my heart hurts" from the littles this time of year when they run around at recess and there just a bit too much of a bite in the air. A few cups of water, some rest time in the office...

    Been thought of as the bad guy?

    Flare replied to Amethya's topic in School

    If enforcing the laws and policies set forth by the state makes me the bad guy, then I'm the bad guy. Sorry, but not sorry. I have a job to do here. I know that i'm not going to win any popularity...

    Pregnant 15 y/o in School

    called 911

    Flare replied to basketball13's topic in School

    so my rule of thumb is, if i am looking at a child and thinking "should i call EMS?" then I call EMS. I would much rather explain why I called than why i didn't. You made the right call. The i've...
