    Good teachers

    OyWithThePoodles replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    I have emailed teachers asking them to make sure they send a note of some sort with their student so I know they had permission to come. Nothing really has changed. But I have one teacher who has...

    what do you do?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    Is the kiddo old enough to ask if he/she is being treated or combed through at home? If so, and kid says no, I would say your neglect argument has more of a leg to stand

    How do you get over the boredom/monotony?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I had a BSN student observing the other day and oh my lanta! Having someone to talk to was heaven. It was by far the most boring day (of course), I had half the amount of students I usually do. And...

    Forgive the elementary school nurse... If she is 18, can she not sign her self out if she is feeling bad? (I love that she is being treated with abx at home, likely a leftover stash

    OyWithThePoodles replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    The stomach bug hit our house over the weekend. I still feel like poo. Also dealing with nasty congestion which must bring out the snark. Kids come in saying they don't feel good: Me either...

    Medication Error

    OyWithThePoodles replied to CMA-RN29's topic in General Students

    Just know that most of the time, vaccines come in a vial and are drawn up into a syringe. There are exceptions of course. If I was giving multiple vaccines I would write the name of the vaccine on the...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to CMA-RN29's topic in General Students

    This was a peds office, no IV therapy, the only medications given were nebs, and fever reducers, phone calls were what the doctor told us to say to the parents. Physical assessments were done by the...

    Medication Error

    OyWithThePoodles replied to CMA-RN29's topic in General Students

    With most vaccines you have to chart the lot number and expiration date (and even manufacturer sometimes), this would be a good time to take a quick glance to make sure you have the right vaccine. I...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to CMA-RN29's topic in General Students

    JKL, I typically love what you post, but must disagree here. When I worked in a doctors office, there was absolutely NO difference in the tasks that I performed and the ones the MA's performed. The...

    This. Technically you are touching their child. Without cause. (No itchy head). We have to have an opt out form for a vision screening which is hands off. If they are going to go through with it, I...

    Waste in the cafeteria

    OyWithThePoodles replied to tining's topic in School

    All of our elementary students get free breakfast and lunch. So they are REQUIRED to get an entree and a side. Sometimes the kid doesn't like any of the sides served but they are made to get it so it...

    How would you handle this med request?
