    If you feel sick the nurse will call me and you can go home

    Flare replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    i think the spin on that that cheeses me off the most is when the parents tell their kids that and I do decide OK, i'll play along and the parent and call and I'm met with OK, but I can't get there...

    New student

    Flare replied to ana010's topic in School

    Did the family give a reason for weaning the clonidine? I have found that the most successful means for showing that a student needs a certain intervention is massive amounts of documentation....

    Certified Nurses and Teacher Contracts

    Flare replied to kmazur2's topic in School

    so i'm not in IL but i'll give some feedback. I technically get 2 preps and a lunch by the letter of my contract. The only thing I aim for uninterrupted is my lunch. I figure that I get odds and...

    Why do parents think schools are daycares?

    Flare replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    I sometimes pose the question to parents when they give me grief about picking up their child "would you want your child to sit next to a student having the same symptoms as your child all day long?"...

    A word of advice, Fawn from the part of me that's done crisis intervention for first responders for the last 6 years: as I see more and more news stories unfold surrounding this my gentle advice to...

    College Level School Nurse?

    Flare replied to Jcat117's topic in School

    I think they would have to look up their state code to see what is required for collegiate health services. I am sure that at the county level or state level there is someone that can give them...

    Flare replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

    I agree with Ohiobobcat - you work with an older population of kids, not littles that can;t necessarily tell you what's going on. Unless there is a reason why this child couldn't properly advocate...

    Facial Drooping in Adolescent

    Flare replied to Tencat25's topic in School

    I have a student going through that right now. His onset was about 1 week after having teeth extracted - but that was healing well - so who knows what exactly caused it. To complicate matters it's...

    Why do parents think schools are daycares?

    Flare replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    i saw that article -was disappointed that i couldn't respond that it's probably state law that keeps the nurse from medicating the child, not just school policy. I still may try and tweet to him on...

    It's been a week, focus on the positive

    Flare replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    Here's a happy thought - my school had a Veteran's Day breakfast for some of the local Vets this am (since we were off last week.) It was really nice to see the men come by and be honored by a really...

    Gifts from families?

    Flare replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    i get a gift here and there - i never expect anything. There is a wise man on here who once said "if you have no expectations of others you can't be disappointed by their action or inaction." It...

    Today is not a good day for me.

    Flare replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Do you have an early deadline to get your screenings done? I always start thinking about them around now, then realistically get them done more like March. Granted, I get a sub in to help me those...

    switching from district to contract?

    Flare replied to jesserpie's topic in School

    I would imagine if you left your job to work for an agency - first there is the question of whether or not the district would even hire from an agency. It's incredibly expensive. Second, you'd lose...

    Charting Vision Results

    Flare replied to Volleygram's topic in School

    I use healthmaster to chart my day to day entries and then record my screenings in their place on the state vaccine card. I hate double work so i make myself a big worksheet and just run off of that....

    I am so disappointed

    Flare replied to Amethya's topic in School

    i get that - but also where are the teachers for the older kids ensuring that they don't leave the classrooms like a herd of wild buffalo at the end of the day? My guess is that the teacher of the...
