Anyone have any good ideas of health topics that I can incorporate to a lesson with a group of high school students once a week?

Great idea! Thank you!

oh WOW! I am so sorry! What college did you take them at? Did they say you would have to retake them? Maybe it's just a matter of calling your advisor and making sure they're added to your file. My nephew had to send his transcript 3 times and they s...

May 11th deadline

Thanks, Vallie. Did she happen to mention how many more would be accepted? Or are there only a few spots left based on the off chance that someone may fail a prereq (who was already offered early acceptance) and therefore, have to forfeit their admis...

If you don't mind me asking, what are your stats?

Have you received an acceptance letter yet? My son did, but my nephew has not, and we were banking on the two of them driving back and forth together. He and my son had similar grades - A&B's, but my nephew's HESI score was unfortunately very low...

Yes, my son's was an "early acceptance" conditional upon him completing all of the required prereqs.

My son received his early acceptance letter on Friday, April 27th. My nephew, who also applied, has not received anything yet. We are still hoping and praying that he gets in. Does anyone happen to know how many are sent "early acceptance" letters, a...

My district will be adding a early college high school next year, and I have been chosen to the be the nurse. Grades will be 9-12. Students will essentially be given the opportunity to earn an associates degree and a high school diploma simultaneousl...

I still have a lot to learn about FERPA. I will admit that I need to further educate myself on that. I'm use to working with HIPPA, not so much FERPA. I have been told (as it relates to the ECHS) that I am not allowed to share student health informat...

How is theories and patho? Pretty strenuous or fairly easy?

And required to be renewed every 2 years. At least they are in Texas any way.

For me, it was a figure it out as you go.

I'm in a 6-8 junior high school with approx. 1100 students. I am the only nurse.

This is the first year I'll have to perform 8th grade spinal screenings. Can any of you junior high nurses give me any tips about how to make it easier? Do you do them in the gym or clinic? Do you make the student remove his/her top? Do you send noti...

Had something similar happen to me last year. Kid comes in freaking out about the blue coloring around her ankles - teacher wrote on the clinic referral - "Is losing circulation to her legs, feet turning blue!" yeah well, maybe if you hadn't worn tho...

I work in a public school, grades 6-8, with approx. 1200 kids. I'm questioning coming back next year as this is the first year in 7 that I have not been really happy working as the school nurse. I have 6 Type 1 Diabetics on campus who come in 2-3 tim...

This had me lmbo! I can totally relate. I don't even fight it anymore. I've even found myself answering the "who is this?" question with, "the Nurse!"

Any one sticking around through summer school?

How'd your interview go?

I said I wasn't going to work and then got suckered into it (as I often do) after the district nurse gave me the sob story about being short staffed. I'm only doing a week, though and at $30/hr, I can't complain too much. I know I'll be happy I did w...

I had something similar happen to me last year as well. Kid fell out on the playground and fractured his arm. Mother came back several weeks later asking for MY nursing documentation as the insurance company was requiring it before they would agree t...

I totally understand how you feel. My 6th year as a SN here and each year the disrespect (from kids and parents) gets worse. Parents want to drop off their kids at school and wash their hands of them for the 8 hours during the school day. But then wh...
