    Flare replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    I'm like the rest. I'll ask the child if I can check. If they say no - then I won't. For the most part, I have children take care of their own bathroom issues, but there are those times that the...

    It must be Pink eye!

    Flare replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I would have a need to call him out on what exactly he means by "shape up the nurses?" and which of your job responsibilities are you not fulfilling that need to be "shaped up"? Of course - bring...

    How do you even get a job as a school nurse?

    Flare replied to melis1970's topic in School

    Why is it....

    Flare replied to grammy1's topic in School

    i usually have the one guidance counselor act as a bouncer while it's going on because i swear that the kids can sniff out when it's happening and THAT'S the time that everyone needs xyz or my...

    Flare replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    i'd like a few more outlets, a working clock on the wall (although it hasn't worked in so long i barely notice it), maybe a new desk - although it would require moving out of this one, and i think i'd...

    School Nurse Gives Wrong Medication

    Flare replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    That question tops my list. But i am certain there is a lot more to this story. Perhaps it was a healing fracture reinjured at lunch and the student went in and simply requested her medication-...

    School Nurse Gives Wrong Medication

    Flare replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    i agree - also it's because it has to do with it being a school. There are drug errors in hospitals and LTC facilities everyday and no one alerts the media about

    Flare replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    once i get it, i chuck it. Unless the whole thing's been an ordeal. Then i want my paper trail. I've even gotten clever in my old age and begun using the backside of letters for some of my forms...

    Flare replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Why do parents think schools are daycares?
