    C'Mon Now!

    This made me laugh out loud. But now they are going to get lice since their heads were touching and the nurse said that lice don't fly, that heads have to

    Changing kids clothes and cleaning them

    OyWithThePoodles replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    I've cleaned up kinders (and obviously the spec. need kids who cannot clean themselves). I've called the parent to make sure it was okay, of course they are going to say yes because who wants to leave...

    Flaming Hot Cheetos are NOT a health food choice!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to River Song, RN's topic in School

    And lets not forget that EVERYTHING is whole grain or wheat. I like wheat sometimes. But the crackers smell and taste like cardboard. Wheat pasta, wheat poptarts,

    Charting

    OyWithThePoodles replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I try to keep it as simple as possible unless it is a kid with a crazy parent. Generalized stomachache, no nausea or vomiting. Student reports (not) having breakfast (offered breakfast), encouraged...

    Just not for me, how to resign

    OyWithThePoodles replied to jbtota's topic in School

    Also, if you are on a contract like the teachers are, in our district (and many others in our state) the school and chose NOT to let you go. That actually happened with a teacher our school wanted to...

    Immunization Drama

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Honestly, if it were me, I would probably look and see where he got his physical and call the doctors office for a copy. You've asked mom, and she's being...less than helpful. It could be because she...

    CPR in school

    OyWithThePoodles replied to CrazySchoolNurse's topic in School

    I haven't read previous posts. Two years ago our district taught hands only CPR to every student 3rd grade and above. There is a video made by the "But did you die" guy from the Hangover movie and our...

    Ya know what's worse than a full moon... The day after Halloween. I've seen 11 kids so far. And three of them have already come back for second visits. Ugh. Candy hangovers are gonna kill me

    Learned something new from all of you :)

    OyWithThePoodles replied to JBudd's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital has touch screen RET buttons on the same pad as the rounding/turn room monitor. I have hit that dang thing so many times. It will alarm and then I scramble to cancel

    My school doesn't "do" Halloween

    OyWithThePoodles replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We had a pj day instead. I did get a one call and an email from the middle school reminding parents that students are NOT allowed to dress-up, because you are right, no one reads anything. If there...

    Paramedic and teachers assistant being pushed to cover for a irresponsible school nurse?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to ScottyWeirdo's topic in School

    If it were me, I would probably have the school add it to my official job description (including extra pay) to CYA. If you live in a state that is required to have a school nurse certified present in...

    If you have filed a report for Medical Neglect

    OyWithThePoodles replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Yes, CPS. And I won't go into details as it would be easy to identify this child. It was over a matter of years. Years of neglect that in many peoples opinion contributed to the death of the

    Paramedic and teachers assistant being pushed to cover for a irresponsible school nurse?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to ScottyWeirdo's topic in School

    I need to grow a pair and just go to a different room and tell people I am taking a lunch. But unless I went to my car they would send a kid room to room to find me. It usually takes me about an hour...

    I think this is a nice teaching moment for the teacher. I don't know why they still surprise me, but they

    If you have filed a report for Medical Neglect

    OyWithThePoodles replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I personally haven't but a previous nurse at another school did several times. The child was medically fragile and would come to school very dirty, mouth a mess, and was losing weight. She had to be...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I had a kiddo come in for falling and bending his fingers back. He was crying and after calming down he said "I'm really glad it wasn't my thumb...it's my favorite finger."

    HUGE mistake

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    I go back and forth on this one. If you have complex needs students who you are changing/cleaning/cathing, this is wrong. If not...I don't know how I feel. We really shouldn't be doing anything that...

    HUGE mistake

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Our computer system also keeps track of counts, BUT, that's if the medicines are entered (I do enter mine) and full time nurses are the only ones with access to the health visits portion. So a sub...

    HUGE mistake

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    It is rough, so many people have access to our rooms it would be near impossible to track down where a missing pill went. Mine is never locked (even after hours) thought I think it should be. I keep...

    HUGE mistake

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    They will probably see it as she was supposed to be counting at every pass, which would've made it easier to narrow down who/when the error occurred. (I mean no disrespect
