  1. Impetigo

    grammy1 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    We're about the same as everyone else. Abx for 24 hours, lesions must be covered when they return. My sympathies on the essential oils

  2. Insulin Pump Site Change - UPDATED!

    grammy1 replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Our Medical Management Plans (created by the children's hospital, not us), requires us to keep syringes and vial as a backup or for BG's over 350. Maybe yours has a sentence like that that you can...

  4. Grab & Go Breakfast and Life Threatening Allergies

    grammy1 replied to ILoveScrubs924's topic in School

    We have grab and go, along with the high schools and have for a few years. Kids can pick up sausage biscuits, yogurt, etc., and take it to the classroom (early...before school starts) for tutoring,...

  5. Changing Insulin Pump Site?

    grammy1 replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    We change them, but generally at the jr. high level they can do their own. We still keep syringes and vials for malfunctions or very high

  6. How do your students address you?

    grammy1 replied to River Song, RN's topic in School

    The special ed kids can call me Nurse First name, regular ed use Mrs. Last Name. This isn't elementary

  7. Is it like this every school year?

    grammy1 replied to VgsNrs's topic in School

    Our students don't start if they don't have immi's, physicals not required yearly. Emergency medical cards are what I had the hardest time with. Last year our principal let me institute a policy that...

  8. What time do you wake up for work?

    grammy1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Alarm is set for 6:15, I usually manage to haul my butt out of bed by 6:35. I live 7 minutes from school and still can't be there on time (8am). Yeah, in case you haven't guessed I'm NOT a morning...

  9. ROLL CALL!!! School Nurses 2017/2018

    grammy1 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I started back on the 10th, students started the 15th. The other nurse quit, so I'm pulling double duty till they replace her. It has been so busy that today is the first I had a chance to check with...

  10. 3 weeks left :(

    grammy1 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Two and a half weeks of summer left for me. I swear every year the summer seems shorter and shorter. 2 or 3 more years and then I can retire....unless I hit the lottery

  11. Who informs the parent?

    grammy1 replied to avecta's topic in School

    In our Jr. High School the duties are shared. Our administrators are really good about contacting the parents. If there was an altercation and it's a minor injury, we let administration know and they...

  12. First Aid Certification

    grammy1 replied to chanes885's topic in General Nursing

    Working as school nurses, we are required to keep first aid and cpr certifications

  13. Who is still hanging around??

    grammy1 replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Today and tomorrow then we're done! Last year we had to take everything down for painting, but they never got around to painting our clinic. I lock up anything that might grow legs over the summer,...

  14. Poison ivy?

    grammy1 replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    I've never heard of that. Poison Ivy is not contagious from one person to another. Sounds like that school nurse needs educated in that

  15. Epi Pen Organization

    grammy1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Will they still carry for after school activities (band, sports, etc.)? :wideyed::wideyed:

  16. Epi Pen Organization

    grammy1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    What grades do you have? We are a junior high school and our students all carry theirs. We do have backups for some of the kids that we keep in the clinic, just in case they forget theirs. We make...

  17. School Hours

    grammy1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Students--9:30-3:42 Me--8-4 I'm not a morning person at all, so those hours are perfect for

    grammy1 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Considering it's a 2'nd grader, he may not know the whole story. Maybe it was a very dilute solution she

  21. Louse or Tick?

    grammy1 replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Flea? There are lots of fleas around here right

  22. Case Study

    grammy1 replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    I'm thinking anxiety too. The only thing is the itching of throat and tongue. I've seen quite a few panic attacks here, but never with itching of tongue and/or throat. I would have had the epi-pen...

    grammy1 replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    Cover the rash, no exclusion needed. Then again, admin will do whatever they want

  25. Wearing secular head coverings?

    grammy1 replied to Oregon, My Oregon's topic in General Nursing

    No perfection here. Unfortunately, that just happened to be the straw that broke the camel's back with her. I did hear, from a friend who works there, that she is no longer employed there. A few...
