  2. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    1st grader had an accident, I pull out clean clothes and she looks at me and says "I'm a cool girl, I can't wear that". Well beggars can't be choosers my dear, C'mon

  3. C'Mon Now!

  4. Mom hand

    WineRN replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Oh no surprise fever! My hands are always freezing, so everything feels warm to me

  5. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    YES. I don't understand the little who just puke where they stand, like they are trees. Growing up I was forced to make a nest next to the toilet when I was nauseated because my family is full of...

  6. Struggling with poor pay and a love for School Nursing

    WineRN replied to ANL6822's topic in School

    I agree with olddude. It does stink that others in your district are making more than you, but that does not impact the job you do. I also took a big pay cut when I switched to school nursing, but the...

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Pink top and black and pink bottoms! **Skips to the cool

  8. Illness and School Concerts

    WineRN replied to denstar's topic in School

    I don't think we have a policy, but I know it doesn't matter what I say. I had a little one with a temp of 104 and vomiting go home once and the parents asked if he could still present at the science...

  9. Influenza-like illness

    WineRN replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    I kinda wish we did. We have a GI bug going through my school but it's just spread out enough where we are just tracking it but I feel like it's going around the community I serve so they should

  10. Guys....!

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Such a good warning! I moved from Chicago to Missouri, and you wouldn't think that would be a big change but they seriously are NOT prepared for snow/ice down here! There is always a "salt shortage"...

  11. The Not So "Nursey" Things...

    WineRN replied to HCPSRMA's topic in School

    :roflmao: YES! I have teachers ask me for change at least monthly and are shocked that I don't have any. My quarter for Aldi's is the only cash I carry most

    Sending hugs and prayers for you and your

  13. Good Kids

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    One of my regulars came in with a cast around his arm. He proudly exclaimed that this was his 6th broken bone. He had a hand drawn thank you note with a dragon on it for me. I sent him out Friday...

  14. Christmas break, when do you start yours?

    WineRN replied to mag426's topic in School

    Congrats on the baby!! We have a 1/2 day on the 21st and then we are off till the 3rd. Which everyone here says is VERY short. The staff and our school board are at odds over days off, they took away...

  15. Holiday presents rolling in already!

    WineRN replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    I just googled "GaGa Ball pit" and I agree with your

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    That is crazy

  17. Holiday presents rolling in already!

    WineRN replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    I got a really cute cup and some home baked cookies yesterday that we SO GOOD. But the entire bag was covered in glitter, which is now all over my office...so I'm not sure if the family actually...

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

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I know it's a stretch but my Fun winter scrubs have snowmen with pink ear muffs on so I'm tip toeing to the cool

  20. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Little one comes into my office demanding that I cut his thumbnail because it bothers him. I opened the wrong drawer first and then when I opened the second her said "Do you seriously not know where...

  21. Fingers crossed

    WineRN replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

  22. Medication Mishap

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Our middle and high school nurses have assistants and a few are MAs (but I'm all the way in MO) I do agree with everyone who has said you need a more supported position. Maybe look for all open...

  23. Medication Mishap

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    You need to tell both your manager and parent exactly what happened: How you administered the pill, how the secretary caught the student throwing away the pill when she went for water, and how you...

  24. Medication Mishap

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    This was an unfortunate mistake. Medication should never leave the office. I do understand that noncompliant students are tough to deal with, but ensuring the student takes the medication is a part...

  25. "My Mom's a Nurse......

    WineRN replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    Same. I had a few scares when I was pregnant and I never told the nurses caring for me what I did. I'm not an OB nurse and I enjoyed things being over explained to me because OB is something I never...
