    Entitlement - Are We Making The Problem Worse?

    GdBSN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Lately, I have often thought these kids don't know how to deal with any adversity in their lives. They think stomach ache / headache means it's an automatic ticket to home...no it is going to happen...

    So, the season begins, "I have asthma and no inhaler at school."

    GdBSN posted a topic in School

    This happened to me last year about this time, and I was new to the school. I was shocked that a student could have a medical condition and no medication at school. Well a year later, and a year more...

    So, the season begins, "I have asthma and no inhaler at school."

    GdBSN replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    At the beginning of this school year, I did have a student who had a severe asthma attack, unable to contact Mom (contact number did not work...go figure), had to call 911, she ended up in the...

    GdBSN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    You guys are the best. The days I feel like I'm really struggling, I read the posts here and know I am not alone. The posts make me laugh, and at times, answer questions to real dilemmas. Nurses in...

    I'm not popular today

    GdBSN replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    "Suck it up buttercup" is pretty much my favorite saying. Appropriate for about 90% of the situations we encounter. (Although, I have never said it to a student, I do have a t-shirt with that on it,...

    When to send home for "Flu Symptoms"

    GdBSN posted a topic in School

    Good Morning All, I'm back from Spring Break. I can honestly say it was physically painful getting up to my alarm this morning. Anyway, I had a FF come in saying she had the flu over Spring Break....

    G tube. Help.

    GdBSN replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Check with your district, and let Mom know that without current MD orders you are unable to administer feedings, and that she will have to come to school and do it. Maybe that will light a fire under...

    G tube. Help.

    GdBSN replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Yes, make sure you have Dr's orders that state amount fluid and flush amount, and the orders should also state the procedure if the tube becomes dislodged or if fluids are unable to flow. Make sure...

    Paranoid teacher

    GdBSN replied to rbytsdy's topic in School

    Agree. When I read the OP, that is exactly what came to mind. As my supervisor once told me, "we don't go into the classroom looking for sick kids. There has to be a legitimate reason for the student...

    GdBSN replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    That she had the flu 9 days ago, and the sad puppy dog look. This is a FF, her and her brother have come up with excuse in the book of why they should go home. When she came in this morning, she had...

    What is wrong with parents?

    GdBSN replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    Mom should be more worried why her LD has a fever so many days in a row and take her to the doctor instead of trying to take her to

    Parents who can't/won't pick up kids

    GdBSN replied to mc3's topic in School

    All I ask is that parents be honest with me. I am very sympathetic to the working parent. If they let me know they are unable to pick up the student, I try to let them stay with me in the clinic, if...

    floating rib

    GdBSN replied to mycsm's topic in School

    The student must have been looking at his Mom's anatomy books and found the section on thoracic cage and thought a "floating rib" sounded like a good condition to have to get him out of

    grrrrr!

    GdBSN replied to txbootsy's topic in School

    I have to say most of my teachers are pretty good. If they send a student to me, and I send them back to class, they usually don't question it. The problem I have had lately is substitute teachers,...
