    Health Office Anywhere Problems

    Flare replied to nyy2's topic in School

    honestly, I dropped HOA when Frontline took them over - so probably about 2 years ago. Once Frontline took control, the product really went downhill. I just use the medical portion of the attendance...

    Puberty talk

    Flare replied to heatherrmp's topic in School

    used to be that we could get a really nice package from P&G yearly with a video and samples for the kiddos. That hasn't been offered in quite some time, from what I've seen. P&G/ always SAYS...

    Lunch Coverage

    Flare replied to icepackstat's topic in School

    I started prioritising my lunch time a few years ago. I actually leave the building and go home to eat. I only live 5 min away, so if there's a big emergency (and not a headache from yesterday, or a...

    Happy School Nurses Day!

    Flare replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    As expected, no recognition by any admins. Because teacher appreciation was last week, it gets lost in the shuffle. Whatever... I do have 2 school nurses as district parents - one had her...

    Back Up for Insulin Injections

    Flare replied to seedanurse's topic in School

    how involved is the student in their own care? Would they be able to take a more active role in determining their dosage? And further, can you have a student self admin? I'm not saying that the...

    Medication Expiration Dates

    I say end of the month, too. Of course, the real trick is getting parents to bring in a new, unexpired

    Personal Cellphone Reliance at School?

    Flare replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    I agree - if the district wants cell phones used, then they need to provide you one. Only some very special people have my cell phone number, the rest get my Google voice number. (And I don't give...

    Help

    Flare replied to MuscleNurse's topic in School

    ugh - I'm so sorry you have to work under such conditions. Perhaps you can set her on a task, such as having her complete screenings (in a different location if possible). It's hard to shut down...

    Vaccine Database/Parents Providing Vax List

    Flare replied to RuralMOSchoolRN's topic in School

    Students here have to have 1 dose of everything in order to begin. If they are missing boosters, we can grant them provisional admission and they are granted 12 months to catch up. Physical needs to...

    18 year old student will not share info

    Flare replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    agreed - An adult at a place of employment would need to provide documentation stating that they are cleared to return to XX level of activity. Don't really need to know why they were out, but do...

    How some kids are being raised...

    Flare replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    I really worry about this generation. These kids are spoon fed everything to the point where they get overwhelmed by the most mundane of tasks. Case in point is the level of self-care that I like to...

    What does everyone wear?

    Flare replied to Istolethefizzyliftingdrink's topic in School

    LOL - I totally agree! It doesn't stop me from wearing them. My favorite color is orange and I saw the cutest scrubs in a catalog - looked burnt orange, like they'd be adorable for fall. When they...

    What does everyone wear?

    Flare replied to Istolethefizzyliftingdrink's topic in School

    Black scrubs everyday. One less decision to make each day. I bought 6 pairs of identical black scrubs off of Amazon and never looked back. I don't even participate in jeans day

    Breaking FERPA? I feel Dumb

    Actually, I don't think it's inappropriate for you, as the primary contact of medical treatment within a school, to exchange information with the school therapist, to some extent. You don't need...

    Body Odor

    I believe every school should have a washer and dryer. I also believe that home ec classes should be even more mandatory than technology classes. The kids learn quickly how to use a computer, but so...
