    Not my role... admin rant

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Dattebayo's topic in School

    Our admins usually make the teacher call, or they will call AFTER I have assessed the child so they can give the parent a report on their medical condition. They will then transfer to speak to me if...

    I just need a hug...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

    Love and lots of hugs. I am so glad you are there for them and they now know they have you as an additional support

    Question?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    I usually help employees with things they need. I will hand them a band-aid if they ask for it. We aren't allowed to rinse student's wound with anything but water so that's all she would've gotten at...

    40 Kids out with Fever today...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    RANDOM: I worked for a peds office and the NP there read an article on pink eye and strep being connected. She then started swabbing the throats of the pink eye kids and the majority of them tested...

    Good Kids

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I had a kid with an ankle injury, swollen and could hardly walk. I sent him home and the poor thing cried and cried. He didn't want to mess up his perfect attendance. He told me he would find a rollie...

    Kids do the grossest (and weirdest things)

    OyWithThePoodles replied to ana010's topic in School

    I'm so sorry. Love and prayers for your community.

    So now what?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Just a thought but if the surgeon was the one who "okayed" her, could she still see an general eye doctor? Maybe Medicare would pay for that? I think it's worth a check for sure, that way if the eye...

    Florida students self carrying own otcs

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Flare's topic in School

    Agree with Becky, they may bring their Adderall or mom's Xanax in that Tylenol bottle. I don't like the idea of kids self carrying OTC's, of course that's what I did in HS, brought my own Ibuprofen...

    Resetting dislocating WHATS?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to WyVy's topic in School

    Nope. You do not have to do anything that you are not comfortable with and no one can force you to perform a task. Maybe compromise with admin (who sounds ridiculous if you ask me). Tell him that you...

    C'Mon Now!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    This made me laugh out loud! My hubs is a teacher and last week he told me he caught a student looking up videos of nipple piercings being performed, because she wanted one. (Or two, I guess) He said...

    Don't be an Autobot

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Before I left the hospital setting we were made to use scripting. At one point they actually said that we needed to start using the word "always" when talking to the patient since it was the word used...

    I'm not sure what they expect!- Small vent

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    My phone doesn't have speaker! I use an alcohol pad after the kid is done talking before I take it back, parents are probably wondering what the funny noise

    Unemployment during the summer

    OyWithThePoodles replied to verdeacres's topic in School

    If you are through a major hospital maybe you could speak to them about something PRN over the summer? I am paid through the school system so it is split up over 12 months, you could also talk to...

    Nightmare on Night Shift

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Happynurse2222's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I am just missing something. But three shifts of orientation?? Our hospital requires weeks of orientation, and probably more for ER. Our policy is also that you cannot float until you've been...

    CEU's

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Volleygram's topic in School

    Check to see if your states school nurse association has a conference. Our yearly school nurse conference over the summer accounts of all of our CEU's for the year, and it is super informative....

    Triphonines

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Susanorf1961's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my lanta...I get it now. I literally had to google "triphonines" to see if I am just a moron nurse who didn't know what this important word was. Then I sounded it out, made the "po" sound instead...

    PCP refuses to release client's labs despite signed consent/release

    OyWithThePoodles replied to smartblnde's topic in General Nursing

    It may be that I am just not reading the question correctly, but does the patient sign this request form that you send to the doctor? If not, I feel the doctor is very much in the right by not...

    CPS call?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    Our district passed a new policy that you can only have 10 medical notes (on top of the 7 parent notes). This is to try and discourage parents from doctor shopping and just taking their kids in to the...

    CPS call?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    See if by some miracle mom would sign a release of information paper. That way you could call the doctors office yourself and see what's going on, if he's really coming in when she says he is, and if...

    C'Mon Now!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    It would be comical if it wasn't my floor they were puking in! I had one little stand directly in front of my trashcan, then turns away from it and pukes everywhere in my floor.
