We do have a diabetic health care plan but the office staff are refusing to be part of it. Technically they cannot be forced because staff has to be willing and able to do anything medical. I need to...
I apparently have a new diabetic student and parents sent him to school with no doctor's notes or a diabetic health care plan... Of course I can't get a hold of
Every semester I get a nursing student to follow me for 6 weeks as a peds clinical. I have this student and he is smart but he interrupts me a lot when I am talking(not the issue). The students have...

I emailed my supervisor cause I do not have the instructors number. I know the last week was hell for him because his mom had a medical emergency but still. Before I came to school he asked the...

I had strep last week. My throat was slightly red and tonsils were swollen but I had severe pain swallowing. I will call parents if I can see the kid is in pain and has a hard time
Not that I know of! He was just not feeling good and wanted to sleep all day in my clinic! Now I am going to be paranoid about every other student coming

After one day of antibiotics I felt like a million bucks! No sore throat anymore and now I am just dripping from the cold I had right before the strep. Real sexy

If it is an issue about the child having access to food the social worker should be involved. There was a teacher who had a student begging her for food and social worker called mom asking if there...
I never trust kids who come into my office saying complaining of having an ailment for 24 hours. I always ask, "well what did your parents say?" "Go see the nurse". Unless a parent gives a teacher a...

I talked with my nurse supervisor already and she said I could go home at any time but I have a lot of kids with medications (office staff is of no help). My throat isn't red at all nor do I have a...

I have a terrible sore throat where it is just so painful to swallow. I am trying to suck it up until the kids leave (early dismissal today) and then I am going to the doctor to rule out
