  1. Resources

    WineRN posted a topic in School

    I'm not sure if this thread exists but I thought it would be nice to share some of the online/offline resources with each other. CDC Pinkbook- Tons of Vaccine info AND it has a section that helps...

  4. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    :roflmao: Sometimes I want to send notes like that home with the little ones so their parents could get a tiny glimpse of our

  5. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Little one comes in: "I can't breathe! I haven't been able to breath since yesterday morning when we (insert 2 minute story here)" Me: Well it looks like you are breathing great right now with how...

  7. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Same. I actually am working towards phasing crackers out of my office because so many of my kids use it as an excuse to get out of

  8. Vitals question

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I'm not sure of what your scope includes A, so like Ohio said above, I would get that clarified before doing a full set of vitals. Every visit is different for me, except everyone gets a temp check....

  9. Inappropriate to ask teachers to stop sending kids after a certain time?

    WineRN replied to Scorchednurse's topic in School

    In our staff handbook there is a little paragraph with expectations for the nurse's office, and one of them is not to send kids in the first hour of the day unless they are seriously ill or injured...

  10. Elementary- Food Precautions

    WineRN replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    We don't allow any food for parties/celebrations. We still have snack time in our school, but there are a few schools that have piloted no snacks and are having really great results (less waste in the...

  11. Confidentiality

    WineRN replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    I agree with every Ruby Jane said and especially above. Sometimes you need to use words/phrases they recognize like "violation of student privacy", "violation of FERPA" etc. Maybe close your door...

  13. Snow Day !

    WineRN replied to aprilmoss's topic in School

    We have a weeks worth of make up days built into our schedule, and I really feel like we should get those days at the end of the year if it doesn't snow/ice/get too

    Thanks for this insight! I didn't realize latent TB was so

  17. Good teachers

    WineRN replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    I think we all sometimes feel like the world outside of our office has no idea how hard we work everyday. We had a staff meeting where we were all given a stack of post it notes and had 25 minutes to...

  18. No support

    WineRN replied to Maria MA's topic in School

    This sounds like a complicated mess If they don't have any policies/procedures regarding illnesses in this day and age, it's because the upper administration just doesn't care. And that includes your...

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

  20. Tips to shorten visits?

    WineRN replied to NurseVal93's topic in School

    Boredom is my best intervention. If you feel up to making a snow flake, coloring or reading outloud to me, you can go back to class. A lot of what SaltineQueen said, except I have strict rules on...

  21. Missed one

    WineRN replied to WineRN's topic in School

    The doctor is on the same train of thought as you. Because the little one isn't exhibiting any signs of pain and has been able to bear weight since the initial injury, they only want her in the

  22. Bathroom accidents...

    WineRN replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    NOPE. Pull ups just justify the behavior in my opinion. Our district requires a doctor to provide the dx of encopresis. If the family refuses, after so many accidents the student is excluded because...

  23. It hit 60 degrees today!

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

    Yup we were 60 when I walked in yesterday morning and on the way out the door it was 35. Most of our littles didn't even bring coats so it was a mad dash at dismissals to get into the buses and cars....

  24. Missed one

    WineRN replied to WineRN's topic in School

    I called as soon as I looked up what the fracture was, no call back from office. Both of the parents work in the hospital where the child was seen (non medical roles), so I do agree there is...

  25. Missed one

    WineRN replied to WineRN's topic in School

    Since we talked in the fall, she stopped sending kids back multiple times for the same thing. I was thinking about talking to her about the comment, but she actually came to talk to me at the end of...
