    Live Lice Experiment, Game On

    GdBSN replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    With repeat students, my new approach is to put one of their LDs critters in a plastic bag to show them. I have had parents come in and argue with me that their is no way their child has lice. Key...

    Frequent Flyers and Calls to parents.

    GdBSN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I usually call home after the student has been in three or more times within a short time frame. Most times, parents are unaware of the situation. I too recommend an evaluation from a physician for an...

    GdBSN replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    Very busy morning already, so sorry for the delayed update... As of 8:46 CST said louse is DOA, wheels up, checked out. That concludes the experiment and confirms to all that lice do not live in...

    GdBSN replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

    GdBSN replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    I have started having that conversation with my older kids (I'm elementary so that would be 4-5th grades) that you are going to have stomach aches and headaches in life, but you don't need to come to...

    Working in Private v. Public School

    GdBSN replied to arnoldlayne's topic in School

    Yes, you do need to stress what is the law and take a firm stance. Maybe just ease into the change, most teachers and admin don't like change. Remember, it is your license that would be in jeopardy....

    Help me please New substitute school nurse.

    GdBSN replied to Yulie's topic in School

    Honestly, you have to get tough with them, and the teachers, that if they don't meet the criteria to go home, then they do not need to keep coming back to the clinic. They need to stay in class. Most...

    Why?

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

    I treat them like any other sick kid that comes through the door. If they do not have a fever or are vomiting (or some other illness), I send them back to class. I do not call parents, because there...

    Where are my peeps today?

    GdBSN replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    I'm here also covering those "dangerous lice" checks, had three kids urinate on themselves, all from the same class. I think the class thinks it's a game now, let me pee on myself to go to the nurse's...

    Accidents happen, that's why they are called accidents. You did everything correctly. You don't have anything to worry about. Hope your day is better

    Sometimes, you have to feel grateful

    GdBSN replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    A lot of times we post on this board because we need to vent to someone else "who gets it." Most of the kids I take care of are great kids, and I hope I make a impact on their lives. I have kids come...

    Seriously ???

    GdBSN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    It is not that we don't have confidence in our kids, it is that we are there to protect them. We are talking about little people whose brain hasn't even developed rational thinking yet. They do the...

    GdBSN replied to sippee's topic in School

    Every one of these comments is exactly how I feel. I love school nursing, but feel I want something more. The policies in the school where I am are clear as mud. I went into school nursing with little...
