    A little vent about contributing to office occasions

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Buggus's topic in School

    I'm sorry they don't include you, especially when you contribute!! I am blessed to work at an amazing school. Potluck days one of the admins will stop by and make sure I've eaten (pshh, Girrrl, I was...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    My two younger diabetic kiddos usually pipe in before I have a chance, and they will tell the other student they have diabetes and what it is. One always adds "AND I COULD DIE!" to his. They are very...

    Calling 911

    OyWithThePoodles replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    Our injuries are usually from the dang monkey bars, falling from, flipping over and hitting heads, ugh. I didn't know it was possible to hate an inanimate object so much until this job. But I complain...

    I call for every head bump, regardless of how minor it seems. But I make sure to let them know if there is no mark at the

    Calling 911

    OyWithThePoodles replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    I called 911 once last year and got in trouble for it by the principal. She didn't feel that a broken arm warranted a 911 call. I called because the kids arm was u-shaped. He was hysterical. Would not...

    Would you call an ambulance?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to halohg's topic in School

    So what ended up happening? Were you written up? Did the admins ever admit they were wrong? What did the parents say? *I feel like I'm waiting for the next episode of a good soap

    Does this weird anybody else out?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Before I rearranged my cot was diagonally behind me. I hated it. Our charting has pictures of the student, so I would be charting on a kiddo and they would ask "oh, what did Johnny come in for?!"...

    Fidget Spinners

    OyWithThePoodles replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    The counselor here made a ton of homemade stress balls. She had a bunch left over and gave them to me to use as ice pack (DO NOT FREEZE THEM). Ours are filled with little gel balls which bust after...

    Fidget Spinners

    OyWithThePoodles replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    My diabetic kiddo just showed me his spinner, convenient. He said "They are supposed to be for mental kids." (eyeroll) ((my little box with smiley's is gone -sad

    Fidget Spinners

    OyWithThePoodles replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I had to google what they were. I will say, a kiddo came in with a fidget tangler one day. And I went and ordered some off Amazon. I get anxious in the car and they surprisingly help. Those spinners...

    Do you ever NOT give out ice packs?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I just told a kid no. Hurt his knee it yesterday, was kicked while playing soccer by a kid with cleats. He said it bruised really quickly so mom took him to the ER (I inwardly roll my eyes) and the...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    That. Is. Great! I mean, it's not like you had anything else to do... Just give the kid a razor!! Side note: I forgot my deodorant once and stole a mini bottle that we hand-out to our stinky boys. It...

    Minor Questions

    OyWithThePoodles replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    My diabetic kiddos usually change once a week unless they are having a particularly difficult time getting blood. Two of them lick their fingers after checking. Yuck. My minor question: What did you...

    Do you ever NOT give out ice packs?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I also asked the pediatrician where my kiddos go (I used to work there) and they save their ice packs that come with the vaccines for me, otherwise they throw them

    Do you ever NOT give out ice packs?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I haven't read the comments yet, but I will occasionally tell a kiddo no. Like for an injury that happened at home two days ago, or no evidence of an injury what so ever (like they bumped their elbow...

    C'Mon Now!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    HELP!!! I know I read something on here about tick removal on students, but I can't remember if it was vinegar or vegetable oil. I've removed 5 from kiddos in the last two days and I want to try...

    Would you have called?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to bluebonnetrn's topic in School

    I've proudly never done a drug, except for hydrocodone for the occasional (3) c-section. I've also only drank during wine tasting in France (my grandmother then proceeded to call me a drunk!!) Having...

    Would you have called?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to bluebonnetrn's topic in School

    I am truly scared of where our world is taking us. Such entitlement. Can we not teach our kids to "shake it off", "rub some dirt on it", or "dry it up" like our parents used to? I know that's what I...

    Would you have called?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to bluebonnetrn's topic in School

    I probably wouldn't have called, but rather send an email or a little note home. The more I think about it, depending on the kid I may have even just told the kid to tell her parents when she gets...
