  1. handling a willful child

    grammy1 replied to basketball13's topic in School

    Is the mom open to conversation? It took me a year and a half, but I finally got a parent to understand that the chocolate she was sending in wasn't the answer for her daughter's lows. FINALLY she is...

  2. Conjunctivitis

    grammy1 replied to WyVy's topic in School

    Our protocol is 24 hrs on abx. As a school nurse, I follow that pretty well. When I used to work in a peds clinic the docs hated that, they said most conjunctivitis is viral anyway. Since we have...

    grammy1 replied to Cattz's topic in School

    I really shouldn't respond to this, I'm not known for being tactful. I'd just tell her she was wrong, yes she was contagious whether she had tylenol or not. And that is why I should probably not...

  7. Can you do me a favor and violate the nurse practice act?

    grammy1 replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    In our state, we are not required to have a physician note to administer medications, the pharmacy label and parent signature are all we need. Many of our students have a PRN bottle of their AM meds...

  9. Not my role... admin rant

    grammy1 replied to Dattebayo's topic in School

    I'm also very lucky. Admins will call and send us the student, we assess and report back to them. They call the parent, if parent has any medical questions they then transfer the call to us. SO MUCH...

  10. C'Mon Now!

    grammy1 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    You have been in school all day. You say you've had a sore throat since you woke this morning, but now you need to call home. There is 20 freaking minutes of school left!! C'mon

  11. handling a willful child

    grammy1 replied to basketball13's topic in School

    Sometimes the "at nurse's discretion" is useful if they're on their way to PE or recess. One of our Type 1 we always drop down a unit if it's right before PE or recess, otherwise she drops. Other...

  12. Charter School Dilemma

    grammy1 replied to NettieNurse's topic in School

    At our Jr. High students may walk home with parental consent. Many don't have any transportation to pick their child up. Police in this area will stop the kids if they see them out and about during...

  13. Storing medications

    grammy1 replied to WineRN's topic in School

    We keep ours in a file cabinet. Dailys and epi pens in the top drawer, prns below. Each student has their own (half size) brown manila envelope with their name on it. The prns have alphabetical...

    grammy1 replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

    Hugs to you. We have a lot of that here at our jr. high. It is so emotionally

  15. What is this? Dermatological question.

    grammy1 replied to Dattebayo's topic in School

    I downloaded the picture and could then see it very clearly. Looks like my back did when I had shingles. Maybe a type of

  16. Question?

    grammy1 replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    As long as there aren't students waiting, we take care of the teachers and staff. Not because we are required to, we just do. Just had one that cut her hand at home this morning and bled through the...

  19. Florida students self carrying own otcs

    grammy1 replied to Flare's topic in School

    I don't know what state you're in, but MANY have laws that allow students to carry inhalers. Unfortunately, some school districts like to ignore those, we really had to advocate for these kids. CDC...

  22. Puberty class

    grammy1 replied to Amethya's topic in School

    One suggestion on the questions is to let the students write their questions on a piece of paper, collect all of the papers and then answer. Some of them are embarrassed to ask in front of

  24. 1st day questions

    grammy1 replied to WineRN's topic in School

    I've been in a jr. high school for 13 years. They will come in tired (most likely because they were up playing video games late into the night). Our motto is, you play, you pay. No coming into the...
