    Seems parents aren't parenting

    Flare replied to Feral.Cat.Herder's topic in School

    As a whole, we school nurses are pretty receptive if you give us phone number instructions such as call my cell first or do not call my work number unless it's a 9-1-1 type emergency. I have plenty...

    Should I Lie?

    Flare replied to blueus's topic in General Nursing

    i agree in the fact that you don't own them your life story. But at the same point, i am morally opposed to lying. Subway typically accepts the fact that most people - especially college aged...

    Why would you give this up??

    Flare replied to 1mrsbs's topic in School

    it's not a force out thing here - i think they'll let you work here until they find you dead at your desk. I'm going for minimum age to retirement. (i say that now - let's see what happens when it...

    504 Plans

    Flare replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    i only get my hands wet, damp if you will, with the 504s that are medical - but i mean like really medical. Meaning not necessarily the scores of ADHD diagnoses that want extra time and testing...

    reminder notes

    Flare replied to vikivail26's topic in School

    i do the same as MrNurse - i remind them verbally at pick up. Usually they don't violate if reminded verbally. and i try to look at attendance the next day and catch any violators. It only takes...

    New to school nursing: need medication log advice.

    Flare replied to MaltyChick's topic in School

    I'd say that since you're the new sheriff in town that you take new inventory on all your meds (which it sounds like you've already done) and start fresh there. For all you know they may have been...

    Field Trips!!!

    Flare replied to anita07's topic in School

    my district requires a nurse of every field trip unless they're going on a trip to another school. It can be a pain to find coverage for those trips. I generally don't go as it's a bigger pain to...

    Bring Your own TP

    Flare replied to Catcar1963's topic in Private Duty

    Well, if that's what they want then i'd - definitely go along with it. Maybe even splurge on that $17 japanese toilet paper and brag about it in front of them. Oh, you'd like to try it? I bet you...

    How heavy is your hammer?

    Flare replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    it sort of depends of the kid. My malingerers usually don't even make it through their complaint and i've vera-temp'd them (because they will be convinced they are running a 105 fever if i don't) and...

    Seems parents aren't parenting
