  1. Random Questions?

    chasinRT replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    I don't double check the amount dialed up on the pen but I ALWAYS double check my math when calculating the dose. When I had students dialing up their own I did check them prior to injecting...

  2. HUGE mistake

    chasinRT replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    I count scheduled medications when they come in; in our district kids are allowed to bring meds and turn them in as soon as they arrive. If a kid brings a med, I count it with office staff cosigning....

  3. Type 1 4-year-old low!

    chasinRT posted a topic in School

    And refused to eat or drink anything. It was pretty hairy. What would you

  4. Type 1 4-year-old low!

    chasinRT replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    He was 48; refused to open mouth, refused everything we offered. Refused to talk on phone to mom. I did have Glucagon with me and thankfully it didn't come to that. Got enough sugar in to the buccal...

  5. SO sick of vermin.

    chasinRT posted a topic in School

    I have a family that seems unsuccessful in getting rid of lice in two kids with the longest thickest hair ever. The parent tells me she has treated. The first time there were definitely fewer bugs...

  6. SO sick of vermin.

    chasinRT replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    Yep, that's what I tell all of the parents now; it makes so much sense and I appreciate that tip. I go over all of the different methods for removal, send written info on each, and sometimes will send...

  7. Mom already took me to the doctor, but what's your take on this?

    chasinRT replied to Flare's topic in School

    Or how about, "Will you please check Snowflake? He started coughing this morning and I'd like to see if you think he needs to go to the doctor." I check said snowflake; no history of respiratory...

  8. Molluscum Contagiosum

    chasinRT replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    Thanks for all the good feedback. I can always count on you all to give me lots of perspective and

  9. Molluscum Contagiosum

    chasinRT posted a topic in School

    So I have a student that I saw this morning for "warts on his hands". Well, he appears to me to have a rip-roaring case of Molluscum Contagiosum. I called his mom, she made a dermatology appointment...

  10. Anyone use CareDox?

    chasinRT replied to grammy1's topic in School

    Pros: I like the dashboard, and I like that I can see at a glance what meds I have scheduled. I hate that it's so many clicks to record a med given if I can't record it in the exact minute I give it:...

  11. Anyone use CareDox?

    chasinRT replied to grammy1's topic in School

    It drives me crazy that it says "cleansed" in the treatment dropdown box! Such a little thing but I mentally cringe every time I say that I "cleansed" a skinned

  12. Help RN with BSN at school

    chasinRT replied to dimaanorolando's topic in School

    I am considered non-certified staff so paid on roughly the same pay scale as secretaries/bus drivers. Much less (actually make about a third what I did) than when I worked at a hospital, but great...

  13. Epipen-what would you do?

    chasinRT posted a topic in School

    I have a child whose Epipen expired and the parent hasn't replaced it after several phone calls. The child's class has a field trip coming up. He is peanut allergic and the field trip has the...

  14. Eclipse concerns

    chasinRT replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I think it's up to the administration to come up with something. It's a tactical thing, not a nurse thing. No way would I want that on me. You can't prevent kids from looking and you know some

  15. Mini IV infusion at school?!

    chasinRT replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    That is the thing I miss most about being in the school setting. My daughter is an ER nurse and lets me poke her every now and then so I can assure myself that I still

  16. Delegation question

    chasinRT posted a topic in School

    I am pretty sure I know the answer to this but just tossing it out there for the fun of it. I have a Type 1 kiddo whose mom has always been able to go on field trips with him. She just started a new...

  17. Delegation question

    chasinRT replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    Turned out fine, admin okayed the sub nurse going as a paid chaperone. Thx for your

  18. A little vent about contributing to office occasions

    chasinRT replied to Buggus's topic in School

    I am asked to contribute to those but I am included in the gifting. I always get something nice, and they remember me on Nurse's Day. I do get invited to contribute to potlucks but I don't...

  19. Delegation question

    chasinRT replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    And truly, the only reason she would be going is to provide the services. No other parent

  20. Delegation question

    chasinRT replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    Agreed.

  21. end of year sending meds home

    chasinRT replied to Apples&Oranges's topic in School

    Simple enough then...pick it up, if that's what the school's policy

  22. Would you call an ambulance?

    chasinRT replied to halohg's topic in School

    No way would I have called an ambulance. Totally agree with Old Dude re the slander thing. I think that I would look for a new job too, rather than work for that

  23. Seizure plan and PE swimming?

    chasinRT posted a topic in School

    This is the situation: we have two students with seizure care plans that specify they are to have 1:1 supervision while swimming. Our kids start their PE swimming after spring break. They are bussed...

  24. Seizure plan and PE swimming?

    chasinRT replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    I discussed with admin; I have not heard what they have come up with but I know that they have a plan, and it isn't

  25. Seizure plan and PE swimming?

    chasinRT replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    Actually, the issue isn't Diastat as there is an onsite RN at the school they swim at; the issue is the 1:1 supervision; someone to have eyes on that particular student 100% of the time ready to pull...
