  4. Lice... why lice?

    icepak replied to Amethya's topic in School

    We have not checked classrooms for years! The evidence does not support doing this. Teachers should not be telling you how to do your job. We don't tell them how to teach so they need to respect your...

  9. Overnight out of state field trips

    icepak replied to hgiovi's topic in School

    How does the compensation work for overnight/weekend trips? I think the entire trip should be compensated because you are on duty the whole time. "Others" feel differently. I do not go on trips. Ever....

    icepak replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    One had a chart with stickers for days there was not an accident but nothing negative last year in K. The other is diagnosed with Hypotonia but I cannot find anything that says that is the actual...

  11. The Incontinence Epidemic

    icepak replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Still dealing with this again this year. Two first graders. They don't seem phased by it all. Does any district have a protocol or procedure in place? We would like the parents to have some "skin in...

  16. Over reacting Principals

    icepak replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    Meet with them and go over what you do when a student comes in, the nursing process etc. Also, how you handle different situations. I think they just don't want to be surprised and be caught off guard...

    icepak replied to ArryOtter's topic in School

    Only as a last resort. Just went to a conference from the PA Department of Health and they said we do NOT need permission to obtain this info from the doctor's office. It is not covered under HIPPA...

    icepak replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    If a teacher says "ice pack" I NEVER give it (unless really needed). I wouldn't go into their classroom and say "reading help". This is a BIG pet peeve, can you

  21. Emergent Situation Gone Wrong. Ideas?

    icepak replied to Tencat25's topic in School

    At the beginning of the school year, ask for 30 minutes to do a staff presentation that covers emergencies. Also, a medical drill twice a year. Teachers on the medical team(if you have one) need to...

  22. Why I'm leaving nursing

    icepak replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is going backwards. If housekeeping can't clean bodily fluids then why have them at all. That is absurd. I really feel it is because most nurses are women. I RARELY play the woman card but I...

  23. Making a clinic presentation for elementary clinic

    icepak replied to Buggus's topic in School

    Missing instructional time really gets their attention. Use one of your frequent flyers, add the total minutes they have been in your office or just say about 5 minutes each. Then, give them the...
