I had one come in a few days ago saying she lost her tooth, to which I said "okay, where is it?" She then said "IDK" and I'm just like "okaaaayyyy.." she then proceeds to rinse her mouth and go back to class. I mean if she ate it, she probably would ...

I'm in all pink except one of my socks. I couldn't find the pair so I'm wearing one pink and black and the other green and black lol

In my school for kinder and up we use the light box, but we in Texas have also discontinued the tumbling E chart as well. For pre-k or those who are a little more difficult to test we pull out the pulsoptix vision screener and I love it! It just make...

What I do is get like 4 of the 500 pack of the 3x5 baggies and fill them with ice when they need an ice pack. #icepackonabudget

Has anyone ever heard of Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome? So a student came in with dizziness and feeling like he was going to faint. So of course, I did a full assessment. Blood pressure and heart rate was pretty high. Had him rest a bit, rechecked h...

Gonna print this and frame it. lol you know when OldDude says this you automatically become cool:yes:

Thanks everyone! I definitely love when I learn of new disorders and diseases. The student already has an appointment tomorrow with cardiology so kudos to mom for being proactive!

LOL yeah I was just waiting for it!

Yes! I'm really glad he didn't faint, that could have been slightly worse. I saw that as a form of treatment too if symptoms continue. I know! Mom said she would keep me in the loop!

Thanks! Well this is the first time I've ever heard of it! I'm always researching when learning new things!

I am currently in dating mode and any time some one asks I just say school nurse. I do avoid any talk about my job but just because it's mostly spent talking about other things. I also go out but when I do, it's mostly outside my side of town. The to...

Mine is self explanatory. I am going to need my coffee first. I am a school nurse for an elementary school and they start pouring in at 0730 BEFORE i even finish my coffee lol. OH and 89 is the year I was born!

OMG guys I am getting so good at this! I'm in pink scrubs, shoes and socks! WHAAAAAT?!?!?!

Well some of these are my routine meds (about 12) and one T1 diabeteice and tube feeding. My diabetic and tube feeder take a few minutes and the walk ins can range between 1-5 minutes depending on what their complaint is. Some get to rest for 10 minu...

How many student's do you see a day? Yesterday, I saw about 38 student including my routine meds students. I think that's the most I've seen this year!

Well I spoke too soon. Friday I saw more than 50 kids! I was like whaaaaaat lol

Since when does a small stud on the side of my nose reflect my ability as a nurse? I've had it on since the beginning of the school year and several other teachers have one too. Of course I am not petty enough to throw em under the bus, but really? N...

This was what the title says, a minor vent. As soon as she told me to take it off, I did with no hesitation. I actually bought a clear retainer for it, so all is well with my greasy face haha

I honestly thought that was a lot but I see that it's the low norm in some of your schools. 15 of mine are routine meds including my one diabetic kid that I see twice daily. My school is pk-5, 748 students. So I guess I'm not doing too bad and a few ...

It's sucks. I'm surprised she hasn't said anything about the ying yang on my wrist. I just personally feel that if it's nothing offensive, then what's the big deal?

No, the secretary asked her something in regards to piercings and I think that's how she "figure it out"...

I considered this for a moment but knowing the power trip principal I have, she'd probably call a meeting and inspect every single employee in this campus. I just find it ridiculous.

Very true! I had a particular night nurse that would question if i was giving routine morphine to the patient or not. Of course i was and that is what i said to her. Of course if it wasn't one thing it was the other, at one point i just told her to s...

YEP! Cause I am all in pink. Hot pink scrubs, pink bracelet, grey and pink shoes and blue and pink socks... BAM, cool table for today it is!

OOooooOoooOOO me me me! I'm wearing my hot pink scrubs and grey and pink shoes! I laid out my clothes last night for this!
