  1. Staff First Aid Training

    grammy1 replied to hsnurse1's topic in School

    Maybe you could go over simple fixes they can do in their classrooms. I'd be concerned about liability for giving a first aid course without instructor

  2. Bed Bug Panic - Help

    grammy1 replied to AzElemNurse's topic in School

  5. Are your teachers CPR certified?

    grammy1 replied to C-HAWK's topic in School

    Only PE and SpEd paras are required in our district. I'm a certified instructor, so I will teach it just to get more bodies certified. Our union even pays the teacher's fees for certification and I...

  6. hmmm?

    grammy1 replied to ceelopez12's topic in School

    If there is no mattering, drainage or woke up with clear eyes they can stay. If they have red eye/eyes and just came in from recess, PE, flush eyes and stay. If they woke up with eyes stuck shut,...

  7. Nurses Pass?

    grammy1 replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

    No pass, mine get sent back to class to get one (unless it's an emergency). It's amazing how many think it's not worth it to get the pass and come back. The exception is PE or cafeteria, but they...

  8. Potty accidents

    grammy1 replied to ceelopez12's topic in School

    I'm really amazed at the number of clinics without bathrooms or sinks. That's a requirement from the state health department here. I can't imagine not washing my hands 8,265 times a

  9. Nurses Pass?

    grammy1 replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

    We do not see students without a pass. It can be as simple as a scrap of paper with student's name, date, time, and teacher signature on it. At the junior high level, they are prone to wandering...

    grammy1 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

  11. Transition from Elem to Middle School

    grammy1 replied to bluebonnetrn's topic in School

    I'm amazed at the differences in maturity levels of the students. Some are still acting like little kids and some are having sex. The amount of cutting and mental health issues has shocked me. I...

  12. College campus RNs?

    grammy1 replied to maggiesulfate's topic in School

    My son was in a private university and I got to know their nurses. They worked in the clinic and took care of a lot of minor illnesses and injuries. anything major was shipped out. They had an NP...

  13. Non compliant Diabetic Students

    grammy1 replied to NurseVal93's topic in School

    I'm in a junior high, but it all honesty, our students are pretty independent. The only one who isn't is one who was newly diagnosed a few weeks ago, but it won't be long till she can be on her own....

  14. Go to the nurse.

    grammy1 replied to imaneedmycoffeefirst89's topic in School

  15. Preparing school nurse office from the ground up...need ideas!

    grammy1 replied to Nurse2Kids's topic in School

    Check with your local health department, they may have some useful information. In our state, the health department actually oversees and inspects the school clinics, so they may have a plan already...

    grammy1 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I can not handle vomit. Like AdobeRN, I couldn't handle it with my own kids (or dogs, or cats) either. I had poop duty, hubby had puke duty. What is the Tooth Fairy story that I

  19. For those with T1D kids

    grammy1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    If they come in before PE, we usually don't give the full correction (with physician's consent) because PE will frequently cause them to drop, and that could be what happened that

  20. For those with T1D kids

    grammy1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Don't you have specific orders for how much insulin to give? Do you add together correction (for high BG) and bolus (for carb count) = units of insulin? If the calculations are correct, how can that...

    grammy1 replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    Our Jr. High student hours are 9:25-3:42, staff hours are 8-4. I love it, I'm not a morning person at all. I live 7 minutes from the school and still have trouble being here on

  24. For those with T1D kids

    grammy1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School
