  1. Health Office Anywhere Problems

    nyy2 posted a topic in School

    For those of you that use Health Office Anywhere... Is it normal for there to be such a lag time? We just switched to this from the "old" Health Master that wasn't web based. It seems when you open...

  2. Vaseline without parental permission?

    nyy2 posted a topic in School

    We routinely use vaseline for a variety of reasons, but now one of my colleagues is being questioned for putting vaseline on a child without the parent's permission. She expected a phone call or note...

  3. Vaseline without parental permission?

    nyy2 replied to nyy2's topic in School

    We don't have many policies unfortunately

  4. Health Office Anywhere Problems

    nyy2 replied to nyy2's topic in School

    Thank you for the input...it seems so slow compared to the old program that wasn't web based. But I guess it isn't just our

  5. Should a new grad RN?....

    nyy2 replied to MoserK's topic in General Nursing

    I can see it both ways.... experience provides a good knowledge base, but at the same time, you can never be totally prepared for the ER! You will see any and everything in the ER. I have seen quite...

  6. Do you wear scrubs?

    nyy2 replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    I always stick to scrubs, but I am expecting in February, so this year I have been wearing "street clothes". I didn't want to shell out a ton of money in maternity scrubs AND maternity clothes. I am...

  7. Why? Why? Why?

    nyy2 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Yes...all so annoying. I get a lot of earring issues also. This morning a teacher sent a girl down because her earring fell out and she wanted it to be put back in. No blood, drainage, redness, or any...

  8. We've all been venting

    nyy2 replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    WOW! I can't believe what I am reading! That is absolutely ridiculous - so incredibly rude and unprofessional! As you said, I would definitely not meet alone with him again. If you have a supportive...

  9. Staying home day after fever?

    nyy2 posted a topic in School

    Just wondering what you all do with the kids who come in the day after having a fever? They are supposed to be staying home for 24 hours after the fever, but of course that rule is not frequently...

  10. School nurse sallary when you have a family?

    nyy2 replied to Avill's topic in School

    I completely agree! If you have another job that makes more money, you may have more disposable income, but if you aren't happy, it isn't worth it. I'm expecting #2 in February. My husband and I are...

  11. Reference materials?

    nyy2 replied to Followingfootsteps's topic in School

    I am not sure what state you are in, but we have the New York State Center for School Health Website. It has a "school nurse tool kit" with sample letters and notifications, along with a ton of info...

  12. Staying home day after fever?

    nyy2 replied to nyy2's topic in School

    I also hate that it is worded fever free for 24 hours...the parents can say well they didn't have a fever at 12:00pm when I got them home, so they can technically come back at 12:00pm the next day....

  13. Feeling burnt out

    nyy2 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I thought it was just me feeling this way! I am so over this job right now! Especially the day after Halloween - I've had so many upset bellies. Well if you eat a pound of candy, duh you won't feel...

  14. I'm a Man, Can I be Successful as An OB Nurse

    nyy2 replied to AlmostANurse321's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As others have said, it may depend on where you are working. If you are in a small unit/hospital, it may be an issue. I personally would prefer an OB nurse to be female, BUT if the male nurse had a...

  15. What does your school do for Halloween?

    nyy2 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We have a half day at the elementary schools. So it's basically the Halloween Parade and classroom

  16. Accidents/Change of clothes

    nyy2 posted a topic in School

    I had a kindergarten student today who didn't wipe well enough after a bowel movement and the teacher called me to the class to help her. She had some smeared in her underwear so we had her remove...

  17. Tell us about your school

    nyy2 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I'm in a public k-5 school. I'm one of 3 elementary schools with around 500 kids. Similar to BeckyESRN, most of the teachers are from the area. I, along with a handful of teachers here graduated from...

  18. Accidents/Change of clothes

    nyy2 replied to nyy2's topic in School

    Great advice! I like the idea of sending a note out in the beginning to say if you don't send in clothes, you will be called. Maybe then they will be more likely to actually send them

  19. Accidents/Change of clothes

    nyy2 replied to nyy2's topic in School

    I don't routinely do it, but if it's a real mess I will if they ask for assistance. This is my 3rd year, so I haven't had to do it more than a handful of times. I'm in a pretty small district and we...

  20. Accidents/Change of clothes

    nyy2 replied to nyy2's topic in School

    Thank you for your input. I didn't think it was such a big deal..but some of these teachers make me feel like I am

  21. Would love some advice!

    nyy2 replied to tippeny's topic in School

    I agree with what most people are saying - totally WORTH IT! It does all depend on how you feel and your situation. My daughter is in kindergarten this year at my school so it makes it worth it times...

  22. Tailoring resume for school nursing

    nyy2 replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    Exactly - same here! We don't get any additional pay for my BSN either I just can't hack the hospital..and with the perks (great health insurance, school breaks, hours) I can't walk away. My daughter...

  23. Tailoring resume for school nursing

    nyy2 replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    I made 22K last year (my first full year) ... but I'm in western NY, where the pay is generally not great for school nurses, but my school is one of the lowest paid of

  24. Anyone ever think about getting their NP

    nyy2 replied to CampNurse10's topic in School

    Exactly how I feel! I have been dabbling with the idea of going back for the NP, but after doing this for a couple years I can't imagine having to work the entire year. It would have to be a part time...

  25. This is why I love my job...

    nyy2 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Wow, your teenager wanting to chat - definitely take advantage of that! My daughter will be in kindergarten here next year. That was one of the best perks in taking this job! At her daycare/preschool...
