    Noncompliant Kids!

    Flare replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    I have one or two that think they run the show. I've learned over time which approach to use with which kid. Some need the "my office, my rules" type approach. Some need the Burger king - Have it...

    "the nurse"

    Flare replied to Flare's topic in School

    Ha ha - you guys are cracking me up over here! I guess it all comes down to context. Nurse (first name) doesn't phase me. Nurse (last name) is how I tend to refer to myself when I make a call home....

    "the nurse"

    Flare replied to Flare's topic in School

    don't get me wrong - 99% of the time i really don't care what I'm called - but it irks me when that tends to be ALL i'm called. as if i'm some walking lab coat that dispenses medical

    Ever felt like throwing in the towel ?

    Flare replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    i get down on the job from time to time and I really break down the job. I don't compare myself to others - that will just upset me if i look too hard at jobs that this job has nothing to do with...

    Calling 911

    Flare replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    it's a tough decision to make sometimes. If the parent is far / unreachable, that sometimes sways the vote. We know that a kid can sit for quite some time with a fracture, especially if it's not...

    Does this weird anybody else out?

    Flare replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    It's a well known fact in my office that the coloring books and crayons are only broken out if you are headed home or have to wait in my office for some reason. I've been told by the kids who are...

    How would you react? Body odor discussion.

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

    Every body is so danged sensitive these days and I think people go out of their way to get their panties in a wad. If it were my family member in a long term care / skilled nursing etc where they are...

    love this! I explain to parents all the time that what I do is a quick and simple screening and nothing more and fore really good quality results they MUST see an optometrist. I don't play favorites...

    Flare replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    my cots are sort of behind me / to the side of me if that makes sense. Either way they can see what i am charting of they sit on the edge and look closely. If they elect to lie down instead of sit...

    Delegation question

    Flare replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    plus -i was just thinking about this - she usually gets paid for her services by the school. While this may be a trip that she is going on with her child (from what i gather) - she is still providing...

    Delegation question

    Flare replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    honestly, i think your admins should run it all by the lawyers before setting out on this trip. I am sure everything would run ship shape, but i would think she would need to be on the clock to need...

    Lice Options

    Flare replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I had a mom call me and let me know that she had her child treated at one of these places. She didn't like my answer that i'd monitor the class per policy and wanted me to do a check of the class -...

    Do you ever NOT give out ice packs?

    Flare replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    i find with the "no ice packs leave the office" rule that the average time that the ice pack is actually needed is actually very short -unless we're talking either a legit injury or a kid trying to...

    Do you ever NOT give out ice packs?

    Flare replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    it's kind of a balance for me between allowing the ice for the invisible injuries that the kids will hold on there for 5 seconds and scooting the kids out the door after looking at the afflicted body...

    I need a revolving door...

    Flare replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    They want us to keep our heavy doors shut too. I chock mine, but close it when the hallway is too noisy. I cite infection control as my reason for chocking it and don't get questioned beyond

    Would you call an ambulance?

    Flare replied to halohg's topic in School

    I would be mad as a hatter if my child (especially my child was autistic) was sent to the ER for pills in their lunch box without any s/s of distress or taking them or call to me or call to poison...
