  1. Problems with other nurse

    guest83140 posted a topic in School

    I haven't been on in a while. Sorry, to say in the midst of COVID-19 my main issue is with another coworker nurse in the same school in a different office at another end of the building. I have had...

  2. Problems with other nurse

    guest83140 replied to guest83140's topic in School

    Yes, it's now trying to out-compete pretty much everything I do. I'm hoping she finds promotion somewhere

  3. No Guidelines Yet on Screenings

    guest83140 replied to guest83140's topic in School

    Thank you for your response AdobeRN. I, too am in Texas. So, I just spoke to one of the lead nurses and was told to call the parent of flex learning (at home) students and ask to have them drop off...

  4. Staff getting overly involved

    guest83140 replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    To add to others. The nurse supervisor and district set the foundation at the beginning before school with much training- leave the contact tracing to health services. It is a HIPAA violation to...

  5. Are you trained to check COVID-19 in staff?

    guest83140 posted a topic in School

    Well. Most of the school nurses have an impressive resume of past clinical jobs of all sorts. We do keep up our portfolio of credentials, certifications and do our annual dummy check offs. But the...

  6. Did America drop the ball on COVID-19?

    guest83140 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    So here we are, we have the COVID-19 in America. Out of control with shutdowns everywhere. It started in another country, China, months ago. Yes, there had been past pandemics but with swift modern...

  7. If your school is closed re COVID19, what is your role

    guest83140 replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Hello all. Our district announced today we are out indefinitely with this being our first week back from the Spring break. So far we are to screen and document potential virus-like symptoms with the...

  8. Would you break a contract and switch mid-year?

    guest83140 replied to guest464345's topic in School

    My two cents, many jobs have a terminate at will. Is it fair? No, not always but when some situations are going left or sour--to me it's good to get out untouched, meaning work record is clean. To...

  9. Sub Nurses

    guest83140 replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    The subs usually write on the clinic passes carbon copies or if it is lengthy, they write on a piece of copy paper and leave it with yesterday's passes. Sometimes I even get an

  10. Panic Attacks

    guest83140 replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    I had a year like that once before with several girls. We learnt one was from social media drama, one with anxiety over testing and one wanted to lay down because she had a newborn baby at home and...

  11. Do you keep clinic door open?

    guest83140 replied to SmileNNod's topic in School

    No, because it would be like a "welcoming mat" to entice one to find a reason to visit the "friendly nurse". Also I keep it closed for privacy issues and to prevent "walk-thru"

  12. Policies

    guest83140 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Hello, yes that can be frustrating but there are other schools to gather existing policies from. Our emergency operations guy informed of the stop the bleed and he has to train us nurses and want the...

  13. Thank you

    guest83140 replied to Purple036's topic in School

    Yes, I feel the same way as you, that I am so glad to have a nurse family in which to ask questions, read other's comments and contribute my little opinion or advice. I also wish that everyone have a...

  14. appendicitis

    guest83140 replied to basketball13's topic in School

    That's a hard one but you did right in not zooming on that particular diagnosis, which we don't do but call the parent if the problem persists or is getting worse. There is a fine line without...

  15. Wiping bottoms

    guest83140 replied to Keeperofthebandaids's topic in School

    well, we were just informed here at the HS that a regular high school senior is on dialysis and is returning to school for half day three days a week. The AP said he will need bathroom assistance and...

    guest83140 posted a topic in School

    I have a newly registered student who is 17 years old in the 9th grade. He was homeschooled last year and has been demoted from 11th to 9th grade recently. His aunt is his guardian is very protective,...

  17. School nurses, what is the worst emergency you've had?

    guest83140 replied to Avill's topic in School

    I think also while seeing teachers sign up for CPR every year, that this will be 50% of the response in an actual CPR situation. They don't want to get involved? Want no part of it? Frightened to not...

  18. School nurses, what is the worst emergency you've had?

    guest83140 replied to Avill's topic in School

    Two football players ran toward a corned hallway, full blast headfirst, when the last tardy bell rang. They both were knocked out unconscious. When I got called there, both laying out flat. One had...

  19. Sped Diabetic Student Requesting Escort

    guest83140 replied to guest83140's topic in School

    Ok, here is the update. Mom and student didn't show for ARDS ( at dr office) but it went forward with many promises of getting him and me some help getting a buddy/behavior unit (promised by the new...

  20. First NP Job

    guest83140 replied to dnpfnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    To me a new NP to a new small clinic is as a new nurse grad in a school nurse setting- you're pretty much on your own. A new NP and a new RN need to be where they can get experience. Experience comes...

  21. I made bold, stupid decision to resign without securing another job and now I'm torn!

    guest83140 replied to obitouchiha's topic in Rehabilitation

    I believe as your husband said, it takes a while to adjust from textbook nursing to real nursing. Hospitals, stores, businesses all do what it takes to stay in business. You have a big heart but you...

  22. First Major Mistake, Patient Didn't Get Blood, I'm Afraid

    guest83140 replied to ICURNVUS's topic in General Specialties

    Six patients seem like a lot with the high acuity of them in that unit. You should have a "performance improvement team" that would trace the steps in what happened and put in quality controls that...

  23. Sped Diabetic Student Requesting Escort

    guest83140 replied to guest83140's topic in School

    @Avill. Right, who said we have to watch your kid out of 1800 at the high school when he is noncompliant and he has ran away from home. And she has called the police on him. I'm thinking what the...

  24. Sped Diabetic Student Requesting Escort

    guest83140 replied to guest83140's topic in School

    @Flare I like the idea of a student shadow for certain times of the day. His own peer, less noticeable, some autonomy, and saving money for the district. @OyWiththePoodles Yes, his supplies are...

  25. small win

    guest83140 replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    That's great! You always have an exceptional kid(s) that tries to do all the right things to make our life more manageable. And the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, the mother who takes...
