    Emergency Notifications

    OyWithThePoodles replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Our district had an incident last month where less than a mile away from three of our schools there were shots fired and reports of the shooter (a former student) tired entering a bus to escape. Those...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to sickonXmas's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I haven't read through all the of the comments but when I worked in the hospital if there was a code, everyone responded at first. If it was your patient, you stayed. Once the "team" arrived,...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Saved by the shoelaces again!!! It's "Wellness Wednesday" here. Where you wear exercise clothes and each hallway has a cone with different exercises to do while walking that hall (lunges, gallops, arm...

    Dear Teacher

    OyWithThePoodles replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    She doesn't even go here! (Kidding) I get paid for 9 months of the year (181 days to be exact) but it is spread over 12 months. I chose school nursing because it is what is best for me and my family....

    I am going to make a machine that once it hears a toilet flush it will yell, "WASH YOUR HANDS!" This won't just be for the littles, but the adults as well. Yuck. I only have a handful of kids that use...

    My kid is THAT kid!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Burts Bees is my emergency stash, meaning Mr. Sully uses it and I will steal it if I am desperate. It doesn't give me as bad of a reaction as the others, but still one nonetheless. I used little...

    My kid is THAT kid!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Hello, my name is Sully and I am addicted to chapstick. I wish that was a joke. I have used several different kinds, most of which I end up developing an allergy to. It seems my face doesn't like SPF....

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I like the ice! And the dribble on the toilet!!! Those are needed everywhere, nothing worse than standing up with a wet tush. Definitely with the new number alert. And the temperature sensor... this...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Yes, my daughter is afraid of them as well. For a couple of the autistic kiddos I will suggest to them that they put a couple of plys over the sensor, that way they can determine when the toilet will...

    I did the signs, and it's like they don't even see them. I even had to put one up that says "Dry Your Hands", because for the few that do wash, they never

    C'Mon Now!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Yesterday a maintenance man came to figure out which key I needed to get into my office. (Which I had to beg for) I was walking into the room with my diabetic girl and he was standing in the doorway....

    Got scolded by parent today

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Parents aren't actually the ones putting it on Facebook. It is the Allnurses facebook account. That is why we sometimes specifically ask for them not to be put on

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I called a Dad on a kiddo that came in a few times in the same day last week. I told him I didn't feel he needed to come home, but he could talk to him and make the decision, gave him the doctor...

    Proposed Texas Legislation - Dumb or Dumber?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OldDude's topic in School

    I have to send a letter to the parent, accompanied by a letter on ways to get rid of the lice. That's okay with me. What is not okay is that I have to send a letter home with every child in that...

    C'Mon Now!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Ugh. Wouldn't it be nice if some of us didn't have to really, really weigh taking their kids to the ER because of how much we have to pay. Like my two year old who hit his head pretty good last...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to WineRN's topic in School

    Becky, I was the DD for the AN school nurses Christmas Party the year before last. And last year. And I am still breast-feeding. You come on over here, I don't bite. But the lack of alcohol makes me a...

    Do you log every "out" time?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    We have to chart meds in on a paper MAR, this is so subs, office staff, or teachers on field trips who don't have access to the computer health log can chart. So the paper MAR is a simple and quick...

    How Do you Deal With. . .

    OyWithThePoodles replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    Good Kids

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Last week I had a kiddo come in with my diabetic kiddo, shoes untied, said he didn't know how to tie. So I showed him this super easy way I learned from YouTube (I already knew how to tie my shoes,...

    Can I vent please??!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    I feel like we are only aiding in the next generations sense of entitlement (I think I did a thread on that). Kid says their head hurts-immediately go to the nurse. Bellyache- nurse. Arm hurts...

    Good Kids

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I have a new T1D kiddo, diagnosed just a couple of weeks ago. We were all kind of dreading it, afraid that he wouldn't be compliant with the carb counting, and he has more than amazed us. He is on...
