  1. HAPPY FRIDAY

    WineRN replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Happy Friday Everyone!! I feel like this 2 day week was filled with as much as my normal 5 day week! I hope everyone stays warm and gets some

  2. Settling in...

    WineRN replied to momrn94's topic in School

    Hooray! I'm glad things are going well in your school!! I know it can be daunting at first . My position had 4 other nurses come and go in 3 years prior to me starting, so the office was a hot mess....

  3. Subpoena for Court

    WineRN replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    Never personally, but all of the nurse's in my district get a brief talk on what to do if we believe families are considering litigation and/or if we have been given a subpeona. If you are invited to...

  4. Where do I fit in?

    WineRN replied to Knotanoonurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure you meant for this to go in the school nurse forum. But I am sorry you are going through this tough time. Working as adjunct faculty is wonderful especially since they asked you to...

  5. School nursing to the rescue

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

    Hilarious. And kudos to you for working all the holidays! I saw it was a "super blue blood moon" for New Years Day and I said a prayer for all my friends who were

  6. Is 1:1 school nursing worth the pay cut?

    WineRN replied to pancakexxx's topic in School

    I'm an elementary school nurse now and I love

  7. Is 1:1 school nursing worth the pay cut?

    WineRN replied to pancakexxx's topic in School

    School nursing isn't for everyone, and I don't even know if I could handle going from the floor to a 1:1 position. It's a big shift. But as everyone said above, if you are miserable, get out. Even if...

  8. That's So Fetch! (Pink Wednesdays)

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    First day back with the kids and I'm not sure what day it is anymore. Blue puppy dog scrubs

  9. Good Kids

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I had a little one come in with a "Stomach ache", she's one of my frequents and it happens to be right around the time her mom gets off of work. I had her drink water and we were talking about her...

  10. Would you pray with a student?

    WineRN replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    I feel like a student's mental health does fall within our scope, and if you really believe that praying with her in school will help with that, then I see nothing wrong what that. That being said,...

  11. Holy pay cut shock!

    WineRN replied to Scorchednurse's topic in School

    This was my first Thanksgiving with my family. The first set of holidays were I didn't have to work at ALL. There are things money can't buy and all of these extra precious moments with my little one...

  12. New Year, Same Stuff.

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    We have PD today with the littles back tomorrow. I'm in street clothes and everyone has commented on it (I wear scrubs daily) I got an email about a little one with a broken leg and we are BARELY ADA...

  13. Please assist

    WineRN replied to dmunoz1231's topic in School

    I agree with all of the above. There is a difference in the mindsets of health care and educational professionals, and I have found that by giving numbers/stats to back up what I am saying helps...

  14. Smart Watches

    WineRN posted a topic in School

    We have a pretty straight forward no cell phone policy in our school. One student who has gotten in trouble before for texting his mother that he was sick before seeing me has now gotten a smart watch...

  15. Bite Protection

    WineRN replied to Needsmorechocolate's topic in School

    I'm sorry you guys are going through that. He must be really biting down to go through Kevlar! When I worked with adults with special needs, we used those. Our staff uses these StealthWearTM Active...

  16. The mile run-- hold me!

    WineRN replied to nmr79's topic in School

    Agreed. I also get "out of breath" because having them sit and catch their breath in the gym is crazy talk. They know who my asthmatic kids are and I obviously don't mind them, but I'm talking about...

  17. Cough drops

    WineRN replied to tgray152001's topic in School

    I also have a love hate relationship with them. Most of the little ones here don't treat them like candy (i also have the sugar free herbal "gross' ones) and since the teacher sees them with it they...

  18. The Grinch Nurse

    WineRN replied to halohg's topic in School

    This is

  19. Bed bug bites vs flea

    WineRN replied to peaceful nurse's topic in School

    You aren't responsible for diagnosing, but I'm sure your staff wishes you

  20. Rashes

    WineRN replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    We do to, but I will admit to being more flexible than I should be. Like RubyJane said, we can't diagnose, but as someone with super sensitive skin, if I am confident it is contact dermatitis, I will...

  21. Those parents who send their super sick kids to school

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Does she take the little one to the doctor? And are there other issues preventing them from going to the doctor that you are aware of? I think we all understand to a point the parents who cannot take...

  22. Mom hand

    WineRN replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Same here. We have a GI bug going around, but I know the second I admit to the entire school it's presence, I will be flooded with stomach aches that "need to go home". So instead I sent out a...

  23. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Sometimes I feel like "a refresher on what NOT to say to students" should be a part of professional development

  24. Lice Policies

    WineRN replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    My teachers hate that we follow the AAP guidelines for lice and let the little ones stay. I just found nits on a little one today, called home and parent said they would treat it and I've seen two...

  25. body odor

    WineRN replied to plainfieldguy's topic in School

    I give this talk a lot and I also hate it because sometimes it is not body odor but clothing as ruby_jane mentioned. We had a girl where staff was convinced it was BO and when she came and talked to...
