    When is your Spring Break & what are you doing?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to tining's topic in School

    3:00 on March 23rd-April 8th. I'm picking up a few days at the PRN job, then going to Great Wolf Lodge, which is more for me and the hubs than the kids. I love that

    What's the nicest thing a parent said to you?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    Another post reminded me: I emailed my TID kiddos dad about a question regarding something I knew he would know about (it's his job, I knew he'd have the info I'd need). He then directed me to another...

    Uncooperative Diabetic Question

    OyWithThePoodles replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    If you have orders to dose off his dexcom THEN YOU NEED THE DEXCOM RECEIVER!!!! (I know you know this, but the parents need to realize it) But really. If the kid has proven to be untrustworthy in the...

    School Shootings

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    In a surrounding county a 12 year old and 10 year old were arrested. So young to have a record. But a little bit of accountability is what these kids need. And now that their child has a record maybe...

    Verbal abuse ... what are my rights?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to KHT's topic in General Nursing

    That was what I loved about the hospital I worked at. The surgeons on our floor backed their nurses and would shut down verbal abuse of any kind quick. They would let the patient know that it was...

    School Shootings

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    There was a shooting yesterday in Alabama where a girl died I believe. They are calling it accidental and being very hush hush it seems. I feel if you bring a loaded gun into an area where it isn't...

    Uncooperative Diabetic Question

    OyWithThePoodles replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    How in the heck are you supposed to dose him based on something you don't have access to??? That is total crap IMO. 1. Get the doctor on board if you have a release to talk to them, if not, get one....

    Can a school nurse leave the school clinic?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to mommynurse890's topic in School

    I will add that we have two 3 and 4 year old pre-k classes in our building and they still come to me, with an assistant. The only time I've gone there is for a mouth injury with lots of

    Can a school nurse leave the school clinic?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to mommynurse890's topic in School

    Maybe this is why they can't keep a nurse. I think waiting for the nurse to make rounds to check a temp is ridiculous. If you think the kid has a fever they should come to the clinic then, not 2...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We had a high schooler have an anaphylactic reaction when the school put peanut butter cookies out instead of the advertised sugar cookies. One touch is all it took. She knew her allergy, and knew to...

    Salad Bar and Allergies

    OyWithThePoodles replied to denstar's topic in School

    Is it possible to ask mom what he likes in a salad, and have the cafeteria prepare him one on salad bar day? It doesn't take long, kid is safe, mom is happy, salad bar

    Ugh, so heartbreaking. We've had two kiddos in two years who've lost everything in a house fire. Wood stoves are big in these parts... I had a wood stove at my house growing up. I lived with my...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to WyVy's topic in School

    I would probably TRY to give parents a call, just to CYA. Leave a message. If they call back let them know the teachers concerns about him falling asleep. Otherwise I would let the teacher know that...
