    Flare replied to crazynursebsn's topic in School

    i worked per diem for years in administration at the local hospital. They were bought out and cleared the board so my little job went good bye. Now I'm not really doing anything, but i am always...

    Flare replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    oh, i feel your pain. Despite me having 14 years of school nursing experience, i've been at this school for 4 years. People STILL treat me like i just came in off the turnip truck. I have a child...

    You know you're a school nurse when you can walk through a cloud of Lysol that would leave others choking and not even blink. I think my blood stream is 3% lysol at this point!! Are you leaving...

    Crutches "Laying Around"

    Flare replied to CalNevaMimi's topic in School

    Incidental sexism

    Flare replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Random Thoughts: School Nurses

    Flare replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    today's random thought: if you're not willing to wait for 5 minutes for me to finish my phone call to assess you, then i will assume you are fine. My phone calls are work related - I'm not chatting...

    Returning pants

    i don't mind lending out clothing, and i face the same struggles getting the clothing back. I find i get a slightly better return if after providing the student with a bag, i staple a note between...

    Incidental sexism

    Flare replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    over the years i've tried to change my verbiage from "am i calling mom or dad" to "who am i calling?" knowing that some of my students don't live with their bio parents. But the caveat there is that...

    Flare replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    As far as speaking to kids about hygiene issues - i've decided that i'll lead a horse to water once. Beyond that - i don't want to hear it. I can't go to a student's house and personally bathe them....
