  1. Kids do the grossest (and weirdest things)

    grammy1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Our admins are (usually) really good and that would be a call for THEM to make, not

  2. New School Nurse Diastat Training and so much more

    grammy1 replied to Janeway29's topic in School

    We have special ed classes that go for community based instruction a minimum of one day a week. They may all be gone on the same day to 3 different locations. We have no choice but to train the...

  3. New School Nurse Diastat Training and so much more

    grammy1 replied to Janeway29's topic in School

    There are multiple youtube videos instructing on diastat use. One is actually from Wisconsin Dept. of Public Instruction. We always have our teachers/aides view the video along with our

  4. Nurse Pass

    grammy1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We don't see anyone without a pass. Then again, this is a jr. high and they are masters at trying to skip class. Truthfully, I'll never understand the excitement in skipping class to hang out in the...

  5. Poll: What age group?

    grammy1 replied to villageRN's topic in School

    Jr. High here, 7th and 8th. Good--some of them you only have to deal with for 2 years then they're gone. Bad--some of them you only get for 2 years and you're very sad to see them go. Much more...

  6. How to get parents to cooperate with immunizations?

    grammy1 replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I sent 3 notices home in December for a student...reminder, you exemption expires 1/1/17, Johnny MUST have his shot before then to come back to school. They had all Christmas break, no shot. Came...

  7. What? I have to participate in the Open House?!?

    grammy1 replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    Spider is my favorite, I actually have it up now! Do you play 2 suits or

  8. New school nurse! Help!

    grammy1 replied to RNBSNon12/13/14's topic in School

    When they're running the 1/2 mile, lack of hydration is the most frequent thing we see. Oh the avoidance...yes, lots of avoidance and "status dramaticus." The usual headache, stomachache, or sore...

  9. Who uses the restroom in your office?

    grammy1 replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    Our county requires all secondary school clinics to have 2 bathrooms, one for boys and one for girls. Since we are in a portable building, away from the main office area, ours have become faculty...

  10. Have you ever had a student who thinks he/she knows more than you do?

    grammy1 replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    I work in a junior high school, they all think they know more than we

  11. When teachers go behind your back...

    grammy1 replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    That would infuriate

  12. When teachers go behind your back...

    grammy1 replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    We send out an email at the beginning of the school year explaining that if a student is sick they are NOT to call from the classroom. If it happens once I'll address it with the teacher, after that...

  13. I have a really hard time...

    grammy1 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Heh, I've never been one to hold my tongue. I just say to the student, "Oh, we know that doesn't really make you sick." And, yes, it's gotten me in trouble a few times....imagine

  14. How do you tell your MS/HS kids it's only a cold?

    grammy1 replied to verdeacres's topic in School

    I also acknowledge their symptoms and that I realize they don't feel well, but add--along with about 150 other kids who also have a cold. Sorry kiddo-back to class. It's an issue between the other...

  15. When do you call home?

    grammy1 replied to mc3's topic in School

    As all of the others have said, if you feel you need to be notified every time your child is seen, you need to let the clinic know. Be prepared though, you will get a call for every bandaid, scrape,...

  16. Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

    grammy1 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Definitely pursue the SpEd route. When I was one-on-one my salary came from federal funding, not even the school

  17. How much time for break?

    grammy1 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

  19. Do you ever say "no" to an inhaler request?

    grammy1 replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    Check the law in your state. Our state has a law that children MUST be permitted to carry their inhalers with physician

  20. Do you ever say "no" to an inhaler request?

    grammy1 replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    YES!!! You've covered it all. Here it is, 4 days before Christmas break and we're still trying to get physician orders on some of these kids. I love your idea of covering the name with packing...

  21. Do you ever say "no" to an inhaler request?

    grammy1 replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    Wow, way to fly off the handle. I did not see one post where a person denied a student their inhaler if there were orders to use it prior to PE. Do you think we don't assess before asking the...

  22. Do you ever say "no" to an inhaler request?

    grammy1 replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    We have a handout that we got from the asthma clinic at our children's hospital called Rules of Two, we give these to parents for students that come in frequently. --Does your child take his/her quick...

    grammy1 replied to lissaq10's topic in School

    Reading these makes me very thankful that our health department has everything spelled out for us. We have complete protocols from them that we

  24. Do you ever say "no" to an inhaler request?

    grammy1 replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    We have on occasion. Frequently, after running the mile at PE, they mistake SOB from running for asthma. If their lungs are perfectly clear we'll have them wait a few minutes and hydrate. That...

  25. Is it just me?

    grammy1 replied to vvasq87's topic in School

    I'm with you....had one of Friday that came directly from the bus to the clinic to call home. Mom knew he didn't feel well but told him to "try." OK bub, try doesn't mean get off of the bus and come...
