  1. What warrants a call home?

    peacockblue replied to rainbow33's topic in School

    Beautiful_soul, you will find that calling for anything is nearly impossible when you see 60+ kids per day. Also, if you are going to call for anything, why hire a nurse? We are only 45 days into...

  4. Eraser Games FYI

    peacockblue replied to Spidey's mom's topic in School

    Don't forget the "smiley faces" they make on their skin by holding the end of a hot Bic lighter against their skin. I always tell the girls how nice that scar will look on their wedding day. Alcohol...

    peacockblue replied to kegreat's topic in School

  9. Your Uniform....

    peacockblue replied to Nurse24abc's topic in School

    I much prefer to wear casual dress clothes rather than scrubs. Always comfortable shoes I can move around in. I feel more like I am part of the educational team if I am dressed like my

  10. Vision/Hearing Screenings

    peacockblue replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    I have nearly 1400 kids on my caseload between different schools. We are permitted to get a sub nurse in to run the health office while we do screenings. Otherwise, I'm not sure they would ever all...
