  1. I don't want ibuprofen...

    grammy1 replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    I'll take any of the generics, but must admit I prefer the liqui-gels. It may be in my head, but it feels like they work

  2. Office location

    grammy1 replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    We are in an odd situation. We are pretty far from the main building and regular ed classrooms, but we are very very close to our IND-S students and physically handicapped. It works out well,...

  3. Flu shots

    grammy1 replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    We have a foundation here and they come and do a flu clinic for us every fall. They also do a Tdap clinic in the spring for rising 6th graders, so they're ready for 7th grade. It's local to our...

  4. HIPAA, FERPA and how do you inform teachers about the health concerns in their class?

    grammy1 replied to cmomrn's topic in School

    We are required by the state to make care plans for any of our students with medical conditions. Then, we must implement an emergency action plan to be given to the teachers, administrators, and bus...

    Thank you for sharing that with

  6. Random thought of the day

    grammy1 replied to ana010's topic in School

    When we had them, they were sheriffs, I never gave it a second thought. They had to remain fully armed because in case of emergency they would get called out to the accident, robbery, or

  7. ADHD just not understood

    Ditto, I'd love to know the sermon

  8. New School Nurse looking for liability advice

    grammy1 replied to duluthRN223's topic in School

    I would follow the district policy, and make it clear to the parents that is what I'm doing. If I would get a letter from her physician stating otherwise, I'd still have to think long and hard. The...

  9. Kids doing this on purpose?

    grammy1 replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Let's see....the salt and ice challenge, the eraser burn challenge, the neck slap challenge, vomiters, press on your carotids till you get dizzy-but stop before you pass out. I'm sure there are more,...

  10. Migraines

    grammy1 replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    We have a couple every year, some have prn Maxalt here, which seems to help a lot. I used to get them a few days before my period. They would last for 3-4 days and were horrible. RX relieved it, but...

  11. Question...

    grammy1 replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    I'd accept it. Luckily, we don't need physician consent for any medications, parent signs the MAR and the pharmacy label proves an RX was written. For OTC's we only need parent to sign the MAR and...

  12. My kid is THAT kid!

    grammy1 replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    I know, but I love A & D, it heals things so well. I use it on everything. Here’s Why You’re Addicted to Your Lip Balm | Real

  13. diabetic question and stuff

    grammy1 replied to peaceful nurse's topic in School

    Unless our student is a PRE-K or Kdg, our pediatric endos don't usually let them administer after eating, always before. Luckily at the jr high level, it's not usually much of a problem. I only had...

  14. My kid is THAT kid!

    grammy1 replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    A & D ointment makes the lips really soft and heals them

  15. "You can always stop in to get a head start during the Summer. I'll be here".

    grammy1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Wow, we only attend nurse/health aide meetings. We'd never get caught up if we had to attend all of the teacher's

  16. No Bathroom UGH

    grammy1 replied to SWimbish's topic in School

    Holy crap, do you have regular health department inspections? We do, and that would be an instant

  17. Emergency Calls- How long do we wait?

    grammy1 replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I agree, never hesitate to ask or vent here. The rude and condescending remarks have really irritated me. Some people just aren't

  18. Elementary v. Middle School

    grammy1 replied to bluebonnetrn's topic in School

    I did a year in a peds clinic and a year at an elementary school. My personality is much better suited for the older kids. Elementary pros: many more hugs and a lot of sweetness. Cons: they need...

  19. how long do you wait?

    grammy1 replied to bsyrn's topic in School

    If it is something that needs medical observation, I'll stay and can usually get comp time for it. If not, when it gets close to the end of the day I'll notify an administrator and ask which one of...

  22. Middle School Clinic

    grammy1 replied to MWOOD,LPN's topic in School

    150 kids???? How big is your school? That is absolutely ridiculous. It sounds like an administrator needs to set some teachers straight. We have 700 kids in our school, and if we see 50/day that's...

  23. C'Mon Now!

    grammy1 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

  25. handling a willful child

    grammy1 replied to basketball13's topic in School

    Ugh, that's the kind that usually show up every day too. One thing about our school, it's 7th and 8th grades only. Most of the time we feel bad that we only have the student for two years. But...
