I got quite a bit from families when I worked in the Elementary Schools but in the Middle schools and High Schools it is miss and hit unless it is from the diabetic students. I just did something for...

A few younger nurses here work every other weekend at a hospital they are familiar with. I have been here longer and don't need to work extra but I cut coupons, do surveys,, shop thrift or ebay and...
I got a new student today, came in before lunch and was 436 and had no ketone strips. I said wow that's high, I got a blank stare. I said are you that high at home, replied sometimes. I said you need...
Hmm. Well, I would say having such a busy day, that I don't get my full lunch! Then, I would say, an ill student not being picked up past one hour! Next, would be a full mailbox for any calls placed...
I did that 3 years ago and I liked it and I didn't like it, but overall I liked it. I was at 2 middle schools with approx 200 at each and I alternated with 1 day there, 1 day here, so with 2 days at...

The mock drills are usually in place and scheduled by the Director of Emergency Operations who orchestrate firefighters, Emt, etc. and one is already on DVD for review. I never heard of it being done...
I would check with another seasoned nurse in the same area of your state who is doing the same grade preferably. Children 6 and older have to read with both eyes at 20/30 to 20/20 to pass. If they...

I am in the suburbs in a High School with about 1800 students, grades 10, 11 and 12. We have a new principal to learn but I am glad for the change. We have about 20 new teachers along with the others...
Besides a school certification for some states,do you think it is worth the expenses to pick up a Master Degree to stay as a school nurse in her late 50's? I think I would get $1000 a year more. Also...
It's so sad that a good veteran nurse can be prejudged and destroyed so easily. Do they have enough staff? Well I had to face them for a license past 2 days. I drove there in person and paid gave them...
We used it once for a 10th grader who passed out kinda from anxity. She fought it,moving away from it. I didn't know we had it. I think it was from old stock that is no longer in our standing orders....

Stand up, follow the nurse unless told otherwise. Listen and observe, ask questions to learn. Learn where and when to take vital signs. Help triage when given the "go" with supervision. In others...

Yep, as I approach menopause I also get a little help every now and then. They don't mind reminding me and I'm human as well. Students see us as part school family who we help and they help. That is a...
