  2. How to use insulin pump + juvenile diabetics

    kidzcare replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in School

    For me, the trickiest part to having a type 1 diabetic at Summer camp is overnight. The activity level at camp is so much higher than at home plus there's different food, snacks all the time, and the...

  3. The tricks we use

    kidzcare posted a topic in School

    What "tricks" do you use to get compliance? One of my go to tricks when I need something from a parent (I.e., paperwork, health update for IEP) is to call and leave a vague message "Hey this is...

  4. The tricks we use

    kidzcare replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    This reminds me of a story my dad told me about when we were moving back in 1984 (I was only 4 so I don't really remember). He was a truck driver at the time and asked his coworkers to come help us...

  7. Do You Work at Your Kid's School?

    kidzcare replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I work in my kids' district and occasionally sub in their schools. They love when I sub in their school and beg me to. Maybe that would be different if I was there all the time though. I also...

  9. Thoughts??

    kidzcare replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    The only thing I would've added is checking BP. Low or dropping BP is a symptom of anaphylaxis. The one time I've given epi, I took the student's BP and it was fine, 5 minutes later it had dropped and...

  12. Frequent Flyers

    kidzcare replied to Lbarba84's topic in School

    Immediately. They were not happy but I told them that it was just like they were in class. A little therapeutic boredom gets them back to class much

  13. Dealing with other staff

    kidzcare replied to Nurselinz's topic in School

    I don't mind checking out a (recent) injury or a BP check here and there. As always, there are some that will take advantage. When this happens, I want a memo to go out that MOST workplaces do...

  14. Transgender Students

    kidzcare replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I work at the preschool level now so we don't have this come up. But my first year as a Summer camp nurse we had a transgender camper. It is an all girls camp and he was allowed to attend still...

  15. Frequent Flyers

    kidzcare replied to Lbarba84's topic in School

    We want the health office to be comforting but not comfortable (as in, a place to relax from math class). I switched schools in the middle of a school year a few years ago and the previous...

  19. Staying or Going?

    kidzcare replied to BooBooCrew's topic in School

    I'll be staying in school nursing. Can't beat the schedule and I get to work at a Summer camp with my kids attending and they love it! Maybe when they are grown (currently they are 16, 13, and...

    kidzcare replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I have done it both on days when my district offered to pay me and on days when it was a volunteer basis. We partnered with our local health department and it was extremely well organized. There...

    kidzcare replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Ooooo.... That'll be an interesting experiment! My district had a mass vaccination event for all school staff and converted the day after the second dose to a "remote planning day" in...

  22. Menstrual changes following vaccine?

    kidzcare replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I got my second shot 3 days ago and I'll be due for my period in about 2 weeks. I'll see if the same thing happens! I was doing great after my second dose and then at almost exactly the 24 hour...

  23. Menstrual changes following vaccine?

    kidzcare posted a topic in School

    I'm wondering if anyone has experienced menstrual changes following their COVID vaccine? I got my first dose (moderna) on 1/7/21. Sore arm, minor headache were my only side effects. But when I...

    We haven't had any staff (at least at my building) complaining! There are 23 buildings so I'm not sure how other buildings are faring. But we've started vaccinating staff as of 1/7. I was able to give...
