  6. ED nurse to School Nurse

    kidzcare replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in School

    I'm frequently appalled by how little school nurses are paid. Don't forget to factor in that it's $26/hour for less hours per year also. 52 weeks a year, 40 hours a week at $42/hour= $87,360 36...

  12. Smelly Kids

    kidzcare replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I didn't know that! Yikes! This was about 4 years ago and in a district I no longer work in. Hopefully that was not the case! When I did see the mom, she did not have the smell on her. If it was from...

  13. Smelly Kids

    kidzcare replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

  18. Would you be OK with this?

    kidzcare replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    So this person is acting as a classroom teacher and a 1:1 health care provider? No. Not ok with it if the IEP says 1:1 nursing care. Not a way to multitask those two incredibly different

    kidzcare replied to NurseHeatherBSNRN's topic in School

    I hate this so much. I hate how much schools cater to parents who abuse the system or do outright illegal things. I had this situation a few years ago when I was filing doctor's noted and noticed...
