    And, having to call 3 different phone numbers for Family Member, leaving messages and then trying the 3 other numbers they gave you.... And then you find that those other 3 numbers have been...

  2. Feeling burnt out

    grammy1 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    YES!! Year 13 for me, and 90% of the time, what I'm seeing are kids who don't want to be in class. Like a PP said, same kids rotating through every week. I'm tired of seeing everyone bend over...

  4. Things that make me grumpy

    grammy1 replied to Flare's topic in School

    I spent my day yesterday being grumpy. Got registration forms on 2 new students, no health issues listed at all. Signed off and filed their forms. Come to find out later in the day one is completely...

  5. How do YOU check for lice?

    grammy1 replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    The policy says morning checks for live lice only for 1-2 weeks following treatment. I usually do 1 week, 2 for repeat offenders. Wow, that seems like a long

  8. Always the last to know!!

    grammy1 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    It was a donation to the school--specifically the clinic. It has been a lilfesaver, especially since I've been dx with RA. No way could I be running across campus pushing a wheelchair

  9. Child bitten by another child

    grammy1 replied to 100kids's topic in School

    That's an admin call at our school. We assess, treat, then notify admin. We used to call just to notify, but then the parents had too many questions that we couldn't answer and wanted transferred to...

  10. Always the last to know!!

    grammy1 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    We found out about a field trip yesterday when they announced all students going on the field trip to report to the bus circle! I hopped in the golf cart and raced out there with my "conditions" book...

  11. Communicating with your staff

    grammy1 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Oh, ok. Ours used to have planners too, they stopped that last year, so now the teachers just write the date and time on a piece of scrap paper. We have no actual "nurse passes" either. We just...

  12. Caught my first louse today!

    grammy1 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    I did actually tell a student last year, that I have students on chemo, with cancer, who have less clinic visits than he does. It did make a

  13. Communicating with your staff

    grammy1 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    No passes? That would drive me insane. Half of our Jr. High kids would spend the time walking the campus and checking out other classes....especially

  14. Guess where I found a tiny piece of cardboard?!?

    grammy1 replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I'm amazed at the cockroach stories. I also irrigated a cockroach out of a child's ear (many years ago in a peds clinic), and had NEVER heard of that before. I guess it's not as uncommon as I...

  15. allready ready to quit?

    grammy1 replied to jesserpie's topic in School

    Great advice from Old Dude. And there is no way on earth I'd be going to another school to change a diaper. Our teaching assistants and teachers do

  16. Things that make me grumpy

    grammy1 replied to Flare's topic in School

    I was very grumpy today after dealing with the mother of my sweetie with IDDM. She reeked of cigarette smoke, talked about where they've been going out to dinner all weekend, but can't afford to...

    grammy1 replied to halohg's topic in School

    I've seen these, but thought they were for "digging" the splinter out...how do they work if you're not

  19. Determining New Students Health Needs...

    grammy1 replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    When our registrar is entering a new student, there is a space on the registration form for health conditions. If they list anything on there, she sends them to us for follow-up. It is up to the...

  20. Splinters - To remove or not to remove

    grammy1 replied to halohg's topic in School

    I will not dig for a splinter, but if I can push it out, I will. Then again, I have junior high, frequently I will do like you, give them tweezers and tell them to go for

  23. Turn The Lights ON!

    grammy1 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Between the no lights and the making "bad" kids sit out or walk laps instead of having recess... I may lose it this year. This drives me absolutely crazy!! Let them run off their energy for heaven's...

    grammy1 replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    grammy1 replied to LOLLYGAGGER's topic in School

    I'd be pretty concerned about trusting the building nurse if she isn't willing to advocate for this
