    Ddoyle posted a topic in School

    Hello all! Just wondering since today has been the CRAZIEST of days... 5 head injuries, 3 breathing issues, twisted knee, 6 students hurt by another student (all different and intentional), staff...

  2. Odd days with Moon Phases

    Ddoyle replied to Ddoyle's topic in School

    They don't really block much and tend to block the weirdest things. I get about 5 - 10 minutes of down time here and there. I posted this at the end of the day during my "lunch" when I was able to...

  3. Lockdown!

    Ddoyle replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Had a lockdown in the morning (as I was heading out of the door for a mandatory hearing/vision training). Someone saw a young gentlemen hop a fence near our field where students were at recess. We...

  4. "Other Duties as Assigned"

    Ddoyle replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    My recess duty is a combination of 15 minutes lunch duty and 15 minutes recess duty. It's funny how there are NO injuries at this time with me there when normally I'd receive 5-10 kids from the same...

    Ddoyle replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Ddoyle replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    Today is change of clothes day. Had TWO kids come in from 1st and 2nd grade who coincidentally peed their pants at the same time in different classrooms.. Seriously, what are the odds of that...

  8. The Vomit Thread

    Ddoyle replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Reminds me of Family Guy episodes where Peter projectile vomits, and then everyone else starts to projectile vomits. It's fine for a few seconds but then you get really nauseous after 1 minute of...

  9. The Vomit Thread

    Ddoyle replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I love vomit. Why? Because it's VERY clear they are sick and not faking. If they are faking, good for them! They get a "get out of school free" card for today and tomorrow. Vomit = instant call and...

    Ddoyle posted a topic in School

    Hello! First time school Health Technician (EMT) here looking for some advice. As part of my very many duties, one of them is being in charge of used and loaned out uniforms. I didn't think that'd be...

  11. Crazy Parents

    Ddoyle replied to maryel's topic in School

    Had a parent come in because she kept her son home that day. She claimed he had mosquito bites and that they NEVER have had them before. They come from Chicago. She demanded I perscribe him an Over...

  13. School Uniform Advice

    Ddoyle replied to Ddoyle's topic in School

    I also just found out that parent volunteers were just sitting there because they haven't had their "orientation" yet. So they were just learning the ropes of what needed to be done and ect. It's the...

  14. School Uniform Advice

    Ddoyle replied to Ddoyle's topic in School

    Those are really great ideas. I haven't seen any in school suspensions yet, but will relay that to the principle that they could have a suspension kiddo help. With the ziplock bags that is also a...

    Ddoyle replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    Bumping this thread. Ever since I read this one I have noticed every day has a "theme". Today is tummy ache and barf day. Yesterday was sore throat day. Day before that was muscular/skeletal and...

  18. School Uniform Advice

    Ddoyle replied to Ddoyle's topic in School

    I've asked for parent volunteers to help about 5 times now. Every time I ask it's "oh yah, definitely." I've visited the liaison's office to find the parent volunteers all sitting around, chatting....

    Ddoyle replied to maryel's topic in School

    My district supervisor expects this from all Health Technicians. I believe it is because we have just enacted what they call a "new health initiative" regarding OTC and

    Ddoyle replied to maryel's topic in School

    In our state we can provide medications if it is under the supervision of our on staff medical direction. We have an LPN on call at the D.O. as well as a partnership with a doctor's office that will...

    Ddoyle replied to Ddoyle's topic in School

    She's in charge of "new" uniforms... and also doubles as a kindergarten aid... I haven't seen her in a week. She's the one complaining about the uniform closet. Oh well. I couldn't even imagine...

  24. School Uniform Advice

    Ddoyle replied to Ddoyle's topic in School

    I wouldn't be surprised, really. I feel that this position gets taken advantage of. I've been asked to be on duty on the playground during the time I give out medications. Had to turn that one...

  25. Crazy Parents

    Ddoyle replied to maryel's topic in School

    I think my district is being cautious seeing as all schools are staffed by EMT or Medics. They are constantly mentioning liability as the reason. As per my last post. We can give prescribed meds and...
