    Traveling with medications

    Might I suggest picking a more anonymous name? It just makes me worry for you, not everyone on this site is a nurse or in the medical profession, and having your name and knowing you drive with...

    What the hot fudge is going on here?!?!?

    I just saw this thread, I linked the news article in another thread. This is our governor. He is an absolute idiot. He's also the one who during a teacher "sick-out" last year told news reporters...

    What's the oddest thing you've done for a student?

    I too have had a kiddo lose their lost tooth. I wrote this and send it home with the kiddo if it

    Tell me about your sub coverage

    No subs here. It really makes it hard. We are an awesome team and cover each others big needs when there is an absence, but it still makes it

    Student sues Health Dept. (2nd verse, same as the first)

    Screening hours? Closed office?

    Every school in our district takes a day to do screens, a different day for each school of course. But we designate one health screen day where grades 1-5 have vision, weight, height, and scoliosis...

    Help. Input. Agree. Disagree. Thoughts.

    Personally, I think it's a bit silly that the bags are spiked and left in the refrigerator, I really hope there is something I am missing because it takes close to no time to spike and prime new...

    C'Mon Now!

    You should start quizzing these teachers students when they come in. Give them spelling words or simple math. Then when they don't know the answers send a "just want you to know" email"

    C'Mon Now!

    Ugh. Especially at 7th grade, like c'mon, talk to your child about being responsible. Or don't give them extra money. Boy I would hate it if my dad was the reason the whole school got these drinks...

    C'Mon Now!

    I want to know what kind of camp costs $10,000 a summer. How long is the camp? What kinds of things do they do? Do parents see the kids at all? So many questions. I complain about the increased...

    Sitting down - New nurse looking for advice

    I haven’t read through the comments but I’m a school nurse and I sit the majority of the day. Of course there are other nurses in my district who rarely sit. It just depends on the needs of your...

    C'Mon Now!

    Hmm, my first thought was "what is so bad at home that she doesn't want to go?" But maybe she's just one of those that the parents call her out on her BS and she knows she will get in

    Today's Mini Rant

    Just hold her hand straight up over her face, when she doesn't smack herself you'll know it's fake (don't tell her that otherwise next time she will smack herself), tell her to get up and go back to...

    Had a teacher ask if she could come by later for me to look in her ear. She has been on antibiotics for an ear infection and was supposed to be doing an ear drop but "ugh, I just didn't want to", and...

    School Fundraisers

    I've done a bake sale for a kiddo with a brain tumor. I really want to do a cookbook. I think it would raise a lot of money. Having the kiddos submit old family recipes and put together one book....
