    I'm not popular today

    Flare replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    My co workers don't realize that there wasn't a specific learning module in my school nursing classes that involved learning how to fix glasses. I am not good at it. I don't have patience for it....

    So, the season begins, "I have asthma and no inhaler at school."

    Flare replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    ah yes... gotta love that... almost as much as i love when the middle schoolers come into my office complaining that they can't breathe and then tell me they have an inhaler in their bag - but of...

    Flare replied to linda1959's topic in School

    I use health master's health office anywhere and i really like it. It's got everything i need - and even Audit trail to keep the courts happy in case i change something. But it's a cost and...

    The hamster is loose.

    Flare replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    i'm cracking up! I am guessing that if no Hammy Dufrense captures by now, that he did indeed make it to Zihuatanajo. And that the teacher can slip out to PetSmart on her prep and "Miraculously"...

    You guys are the jelly to my peanut butter! you add that something sweet to my day. Sometimes you're the only bright spot in my day. The staff can be needy, the kids can be daunting. People that...

    Do you prefer to contend with the smell of stool or the smell of Glade?

    Flare replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    in my line of work, i tend to get kids that think Axe body spray is the BEST thing everrrrrr! Their scent lingers so long after they leave, it's almost comical. I guess maybe it's better than the...

    Student doesn't eat and I'm the person to fix it!

    Flare replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    I have a few older kids on medications that "don't eat" due to their meds. But will then come down to me periodically c/o stomach aches. I've tried explaining that the morning dose of Ritalin taken...

    G tube. Help.

    Flare replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Oh, I am again in agreement with my esteemed colleagues. I would'nt be touching the gtube without having a current md order. Granted, I may not necessarily require a local dr, per se. A copy of the...

    Cleaning Products in School

    Flare replied to KDRNMA's topic in School

    The school itself uses green cleaners. In my office, it's a bit more germ warfare. I figure that I have to "live" in here, I am the one that does the immediate clean-up. I'm using Sanitex, I'm...

    Flare replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    I always crack up when the students come in with a wiggly tooth and expect me to pull it. For good measure, once i did ask my superintendent if he'd pay for me to go to dental school while he was in...

    When to send home for "Flu Symptoms"

    Flare replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    Flare replied to rbytsdy's topic in School

    i'm gonna step out of my school nurse cloak and put on my mom jeans for a minute - a rare move for me, i know. If my kid came home and told me she was getting daily temp checks, despite being...
