  1. Blood exposure

    chasinRT replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I had an incident in which one of my little guys had some aiming difficulty at restroom break and "may" have inadvertently gotten some urine on another student's lips and face....thankfully the parent...

  2. Do you log every "out" time?

    chasinRT posted a topic in School

    I am using Caredox, and I have to put an out time on everything. If I don't get meds documented within the minute that the kid takes it, I have to then put an out time. So that is a total of three...

  3. Unemployment during the summer

    chasinRT replied to verdeacres's topic in School

    I don't work in the summer; I don't get paid for the summer. It's as simple as that. If I wanted to work, I could. I don't. I don't expect the state to give me money, because if I wanted to work, I...

  4. Good Kids

    chasinRT replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    All of my kids. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and went through chemo over the summer and then radiation; the kids had a "pink day" fundraiser for me and out of 750+ I only saw 3 or 4 who didn't...

  6. Proctor and Gamble Always Changing

    chasinRT replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Yep, I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago; they got back to me and said the issue would be fixed by the end of the week so I waited a week and retried and it still wasn't fixed for me. I...

  7. It's ok to look at their....

    chasinRT replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    I don't look under any area that would be covered by a modest swimsuit. If there was an emergent need to, I would. We call parents for potty accidents if the kid can't do it. However, I would help...

  8. THIS is what bugs me

    chasinRT replied to tining's topic in School

    Here is what bugs me. Teacher sends kid for head lice check; she's been scratching. I find a few, one dead and one sluggish; call and discuss with Grandma, she says she treated last night. Send kid...

  9. Type 1 student forgot his meter!

    chasinRT posted a topic in School

    What would you do if you had a student with insulin due and you can't test his blood sugar because he forgot his meter and his parents are an hour

  10. Type 1 student forgot his meter!

    chasinRT replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    That sounds like a pretty good idea. I only have one DM student and he keeps his meter here at school, but I got a call from another school in the corporation with the above situation. It's never...

  11. 911 Debrief

    chasinRT replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    You did the right things. Kids can nosedive rapidly. Better to err on the side of caution, especially where someone else's kiddo is

  12. School and hospital?

    chasinRT replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I took this job after 25 years in a hospital...no way Jose! I work here so that I can still have health insurance while working much less. Winding down my

    chasinRT replied to Flare's topic in School

    A fifth grader who constantly forgets his inhaler, and when he needs it, has parents who can't manage to bring it in until I threaten to call

  14. Guess where I found a tiny piece of cardboard?!?

    chasinRT replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Had a kid last year with a giant hunk of eraser in his ear. It was shaped and positioned so that I could easily grab it with tweezers. Kid had NO IDEA how it could have gotten there. None! He was...

  15. Anyone work in two different buildings?

    chasinRT replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I have PK-2 in one building and 3-5 a mile away. I head back and forth several times a day, and rarely get to spend more than 2 hours in one building. It really makes it hard to get things done. I...

  16. Field Trips

    chasinRT replied to shark_nurse14's topic in School

  18. How many times have you used an AED?

    chasinRT replied to Avill's topic in School

    Personally, never. In two of our corporation's schools, a coach and a principal arrested at school. I never heard the details of pre-EMS care. Sadly, neither

  19. Does anyone use CareDox?

    chasinRT replied to grammy1's topic in School

    We just got it; didn't have access to it until the Friday before school started last week. It hasn't been customized at all so the only thing under the drop down boxes is the word "other". So I am...

  20. Ugh. Bedbugs.

    chasinRT posted a topic in School

    So I have a kid that turned in a library book that had a couple bedbugs in it. Called the dad, he cursed me out and hung up on me. Since that time I have been going through her backpack every morning...

  21. Rescue inhalers and off-site swim class

    chasinRT posted a topic in School

    I'm in an elementary school. The kids are about to start swimming. There are several with rescue inhalers, a diastat, a couple diabetics. Last year I was able to run things over to the school with...

  23. Rescue inhalers and off-site swim class

    chasinRT replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    No, the kids go over on a bus. No teacher goes with them; they meet up with the PE teacher when they get there. The bus driver shuttles and doesn't get off the

  24. This is not why I became a nurse

    chasinRT replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    The child handed me a note: "Please call Susie's mom and tell her that she smells and she needs to bring her some different clothes or something." Felt bad for the kid, her shoes did reek. Found her...

  25. Medication refills

    chasinRT replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    I tell the parents that I will send a note home on Friday if I don't have enough to last the following week. Then I send the bottle home when it's empty. I also give the parent a call when I don't...
