  1. HUGE mistake

    grammy1 replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Last week I was giving an adderall to a student, it was his last one. Yep, he dropped it. I can't believe what I did, I yelled, "Five second rule," he quickly picked it up, wiped it off, and took it....

  2. Staff Hysteria

    grammy1 replied to Ashizzle's topic in School

    Yes,

  3. Who is responsibile for field trip info?

    grammy1 replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    As most others said, the teachers are supposed to let me know ahead of time so I can check their rosters against my list. At the beginning of the school year, I heard one of the teachers tell a new...

    grammy1 replied to plainfieldguy's topic in School

    grammy1 replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    I was thinking of you this morning when I had one of these (straight off the bus, 10 minutes before school started), only she was 13. Same scenario, I had to try really hard to keep from laughing as...

  6. I know this topic has been posted before...

    grammy1 replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    I'd go in a heartbeat. I worked under a micro-managing principal for 5 years and I was absolutely miserable. I didn't realize how much it was affecting me, not only emotionally, but physically. The...

  7. Immunization Compliance

    grammy1 replied to RNTexas13's topic in School

    It's amazing how quickly they get that shot once the exclusion letter goes home. I also usually call first and put the blame on the state, "Oh, it's against state law for me to keep your little...

  8. "I'm Dizzy"

    grammy1 replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    I have been getting a lot of dizzy kids lately too. 90% of the time they haven't had breakfast or lunch or nothing to drink after PE. I'm also curious as to what others include in their

  9. Parents Please Do The Paperwork!

    grammy1 replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    I've gotten so frustrated trying to get forms back. Our action plans and medical management plans are REQUIRED. Last year I got marked off on my inspection by the health department for not having an...

  10. Anyone use CareDox?

    grammy1 replied to grammy1's topic in School

    Our supervisor was told that, and it does allude to it on their website. Glad to hear it doesn't do that for you! We heard that and we all

    grammy1 replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    We do warm salt water gargles, but I wouldn't give a child salt water to

  12. Anyone use CareDox?

    grammy1 replied to grammy1's topic in School

    Hopefully our IT department can make it talk to our FOCUS program. If it will download immi records from the state database, I will be a very happy person!! We were told it will notify parent IN REAL...

  13. YOUR Childhood School Nurse memories

    grammy1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We only had a nurse come in for screenings and vaccines. Other than that, it was the school secretary. Like some others, I remember my family lining up for the polio vaccine on the sugar

  14. CPS/Child Abuse Protocol

    grammy1 replied to mslove's topic in School

    Our policy (per CPS), is that the first one the student tells is the one who calls. The teachers think that by sending the student to me they get out of it. Nope, they still have to make the call. I...

  15. Honey, I'm Home!

    grammy1 replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    You sacrificed and did what you had to do. Now that you're out of that situation, do what you WANT to do, and what will make you

  18. Help RN with BSN at school

    grammy1 replied to dimaanorolando's topic in School

    If you're applying in FL don't expect much. NOT on a teacher's salary, less than half of what teachers make. No pay for Christmas break, Thanksgiving break, or spring break. That said, the hours and...

  19. Hurricane Irma

    grammy1 replied to GetBackToClassRN's topic in School

    We're out tomorrow and Monday, so far. We'll see what happens after that. I think we'll be leaving with my 95 y/o mother. We're in a flood zone so if they evacuate we'll be going. Stay

  20. This is gonna be a loooong year

    grammy1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Ketone strips are one of the hardest things for me to get. I'll bet 85% of our kids never check ketones at home when they're high. I'm just curious, how high does the blood sugar have to be before you...

  21. Written MAR PLUS EMAR???

    grammy1 replied to lomagg2's topic in School

  23. Epipen-what would you do?

    grammy1 replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    We can't exclude because of an illness, condition, or disability BUT the parent must also keep up their part of the job. We can't exclude because of the allergy, but if mom doesn't hold up her end by...

  24. Health Condition info to teachers

    grammy1 replied to scrubsrn24's topic in School

    For many conditions we are REQUIRED to have a physician signed medical management plan, nursing care plan, and emergency action plan. Once the EAP is completed it gets sent to all of the student's...

  25. Type 1 Diabetes training for teachers

    grammy1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    If you google Diabetes Emergency Action Plans you'll get quite a few hits. We send these to all of their teachers, bus drivers, admin,
