I work with Pre-K and K students, we do hand washing, proper sneezing, and coughing techniques in the fall. In Dec I plan to talk about why it is important to know what different colored fruits are good for and how they help us. The kids and staff...

I have a similar statement and it has helped. Also at the end of every other month I send out an e-mail to all teachers with the number of students from their class that has been in the nurse's office for that month. It really gets the teachers tal...

I work part time for a large Health facility keeping the medical staff certified in CPR. I usually have a class every week and more during breaks and summer. It pays great and I get to pick the dates. It makes some days really long (working 7-4 at...

I have been working as a School Nurse for the past 9 years. It seems like every year it gets harder. More students (850 Pre-K and kindergarten) more health issues (asthma, peanut allergy, bee allergy, diabetes, seizure disorders, ADHD) more that ar...

thanks for the words. Being the only nurse in the building means no one to talk to about the pace and work. It's just my normal day. Having confirmation that it is a lot of work makes it better. And it is Friday too (that really helps).

A similar thing just happened at my school. A 3 1/2 yr old Pre-K fell on the playground. Staff carried her in to the office. She was crying and couldn't point to where it hurt. We reassured her, and I started assessing. When I got to the left a...

I had a K student come in not once but twice today for bloody nose. When I asked him the second time why he thought it kept happening, he told me it was because he was putting his pencil up his nose. I told him if he would keep his pencil out of hi...

I have a question about leaving the nurse office to have lunch. Every student that comes in to my office has to be charted on electronically, my job. When I leave the office for lunch, I come back and the secretary hands me scrap pieces of paper wit...

I am not surprised by your thought. I also think the moon fazes effect what goes on it the office, students and teachers. My real interest is how do you get this web site on your work computer and and have time to use it. My work computer goes th...

It is September and I am sick of this topic already. I work Pre-k and K school 834 students. I have more severe nut allergies than ever before. The district will not stop birthday treats and won't stop peanut butter from coming in to the school. ...

I will be back for the fall and just found out that I am doing summer school also. I was so looking forward to summer and no school. It is only for the month of June, so I will still have July to rest.

I think that happened at my school last week. Asthma -especially if showing signs of distress Nose bleed - next (until you can work with them, have student pinch) Vomit- tell them to sit up and put their head in the trash can and stay there until y...

I work at Pre-k and Kindergarten school (800 students). The average is 30 min but have waited up to 2 1/2 hours for parent to pick up sick student. I have a few special toys for kids to play with only when they are waiting for pick up. I let them...

I do not take a lunch break, but am entitled to one. I start work at 7:30, lunch and recess starts at 10:30 and lasts until 1:30, school is out at 3:00. I work until 4 pm - so my lunch is scheduled sometime between 3 and 4 - but there is no one els...

I work with very young students (3-6 year olds), but I did have a student with severe allergies that kept her epi pen with her at all times. The problem was who could give it to her, if she needed it. Only the nurse or principal could administer it...

9-12 High school is a lot of drama, the students talk back and are self invoved 6-8 Middle school is hormones and trying to find them selves 1-5 Elementary is still about trying to please and being helpful Pre-K and Kindergarten is a lot of clothes c...

I used to work in an Elementary school where 5th graders took a health class. It was a program set up by the district, all I had to do was help the teachers review it. So it wasn't that difficult. You just need to be available for students to ask ...

I am a RN with 800 Pre-k and Kindergarten students. No help, no lunch break, no bathroom break, and at the beginning of the year (and some through out the year) have to be walked back to their classrooms. I work 8 hours\175 days.

I just had a parent send an e-mail to the principal telling her how much the family appreciated all the time and effort I put in on their child this year. It is very difficult for the parents to leave their pre-k and K students at school all day whe...

It's just me at my school. I start the day running and don't stop until an hour after the kids are gone. I don't have time to eat or even go to the bathroom most days. There are always reports, meetings, and education that need to be completed. T...

Illinois. Work 8 hour days/180 days a year. Pay is $30,000. I work part time evening to pay the bills.

At my school all I am supposed to take is the emergency box. It contains no meds but does have a list of each student and their medical needs. All meds and paperwork are left in the office. This worries me but have no way to carry it all out. Any ...

I have 800 Pre-K and K students plus a before and after care program for kids of working parents. I see between 30-60 a day with 1/2 of the visits needing a phone call to parents. When ever there is a mark on the skin, a parent needs a phone call. ...

I have 3 1/2 days left with kids. Then just have to work until end of the year office stuff is done. Soo looking forward to waving goodbye to those buses!

I work at a Pre-K and Kindergarten school and there is no way I am sending meds home with them.
