    What's your best School Nurse advice ?

    Flare replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    You can treat sooo many things with ice packs, vaseline, water and peppermints... An unbelievable amount of this job is smoke and mirrors -this one is not really mine, i had a professor in school...

    Do you interact with students outside of the office?

    Flare replied to Kittery's topic in School

    In a former school, i took on directing the school play. That was a lot of fun and a lot of hard work. These days, I work in my own town so it's mostly the kids interacting with me in outside...

    Not Enough Backup-CPS?

    Flare replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    yikes -what a situation. Did the parent that had some sort of second hand knowledge make any attempts to contact CPS herself? I'm not trying to get anyone out of making any calls, but if there's an...

    Lets take attendance

    Flare replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Call out - if you feel guilty about it, you can make a few "good faith calls" to subs if you have them. If you don't have any subs in your coffers, well shame on your district for not planning on the...

    Why do you wear a white coat? (if you indeed do)

    Flare replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    i wear a white coat - or jacket i suppose as i usually wear the short to the hip style - a consultation coat is what i think it's called. I will occasionally wear a long coat if that's all i have...
