    Things that make me grumpy

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Flare's topic in School

    And SURPRISE! Parents don't answer their phone. Today: Teachers who call parents without sending the kid to me first. Gah! Kids who come in with their "nurse pass" and when asked what's going on...

    Turn The Lights ON!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    The funny this is: No other school (that I've been to) in the district does this?? I just want to know if it is truly bad for your eyes, that way I can have science on my side when I run through...

    I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    I rarely deal with physicians on a daily basis in school nursing. Just sayin', find another specialty before quitting nursing all together. I get attached to my kiddos, but it's kind of a good thing...

    Between the no lights and the making "bad" kids sit out or walk laps instead of having recess... I may lose it this year. I've already confronted an instructional assistant for mistreating a...

    Turn The Lights ON!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I don't think I've been in a single room where the lights are on. C'mon now! Even our office lights are off with just two little can lights on. I just can't understand it, I feel like it's bad for...

    Topical without Rx

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

    I do not put anything on without an order, sun screen and bug spray included. I don't even give out lotion (I used to get rashy as a kid with certain lotions). The only rule I "break" is the white...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to verdeacres's topic in School

    Ugh, I'm trying to hurry the week up and wearing my pink today, definitely thought it was Wednesday... I wear scrubs, sometimes I wear a school/district T-shirt and scrubs pants. Jeans on Friday's....

    I can't believe I have a "c'mon" already today!

    OyWithThePoodles replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    We want the policy changed, the ones that get sent home time after time are likely the ones who need to be in school the most. But it will be like pulling

    OyWithThePoodles replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    School nurse delays giving epi pen

    OyWithThePoodles replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    The majority of mine say Benadryl first as well, then I have to hound the parents to send it. Someone from the school should have definitely went with her. But as I think back to the two times I was...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Bevp's topic in School

    I chart everything that walks through my door to see me. This is how our District Coordinator justifies the nurses we have and fights for more. She can print out a log that shows how many students the...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    Got scolded by parent today

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Amethya's topic in School
