  1. Employee Health?

    WineRN replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    Yes! My teachers are always shocked when I tell them that I can't excuse them from work. I had a teacher that I was 99% sure had strep (confirmed later) and when I explained what I recommended but...

  2. Snow Day!

    WineRN replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    I may be alone, but I love snow. Now that we are further south, we most get ice which is awful. But whenever there is even a chance of significant snow they cancel school, so I'm keeping my fingers...

  3. First Week Completed

    WineRN replied to momrn94's topic in School

    Welcome Welcome! I'm glad you are starting off on the right foot. Every day really is different in this role, which is one of the many reasons why I like it so much! We wear pink on Wednesdays, Vent...

  4. Makes Me Sad...

    WineRN replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    That makes me tear up just reading that. Poor

  5. Stop the Bleed

    WineRN replied to tdean13's topic in School

    I did the training, but I feel like it was a little useless because I won't have access to a "professional" tourniquet if there ever was an emergency in the school or if I come across one in the...

  8. Smelly Kid

    WineRN replied to tch1920's topic in School

    Do you have a school counselor or a social worker? I would get them involved with this too because it sounds a lot the family needs more resources than they have available to them. Does the little...

  9. TGIF! How was your week?

    WineRN replied to KKEGS's topic in School

  10. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    ^YES^ I have lots of parents who believe that 99.0 is a fever so when one of my older ones see that they immediately start using the word fever alll

    WineRN replied to River Song, RN's topic in School

    We have some world class actors and actresses in the making don't we? lol Great job

  12. When to call and not call parents?

    WineRN replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    I don't have time to call for everything. We have had a burst of colds here lately causing me to have 50+ visits each day this week. I would see if your principal would be ok with just a note going...

  13. My dad died yesterday

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I am glad you and your children got all of those special moments before he went into that deep sleep. That is something they will be able to cherish forever. I know...

  14. Am I overreacting?

    WineRN replied to nicunursem10's topic in School

    Vent away. It is an adjustment from going from a place where everyone is of a medical mindset to somewhere where they think 99.0 is a "low grade fever" and a bloody mouth is a medical emergency. As...

  15. Good teachers

    WineRN replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    I am close with a lot of my teachers, mostly because they are convinced they are dying because they looked up something on google and they need to now discuss it all with me. But two in particular...

  16. Secretary issues

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Some people just are abrasive. What are you worried about getting "in trouble" for exactly? It never is a fun situation when you have to report a coworker for something, but you shouldn't be afraid...

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

    WineRN replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    YES! I have a parent who I learned actually applied for my position and used to demand a phone call for every visit and then be angry I was calling every day because her little ones are all frequents...

  18. Completing school attendance your task too?

    WineRN replied to MegWorth's topic in School

    Good for you for working on your RN :) And I am glad to hear they are actually training you, I feel like there are a lot of people who just get thrown into this world without any sort of direction....

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

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    No pink today, but I am putting up holiday decorations in my office so I'm still in a good mood

  20. Almond milk

    WineRN replied to scuba nurse's topic in School

    Not allowed. We have one "allergy free" table in our lunch room that two of our parents ended up fighting over because one child had a severe peanut and treenut allergy and the other had severe...

  21. what do you do?

    WineRN replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    That stinks. Our policy says that the nurse checks when the student returns to confirm treatment, but parent's lie all the time and then you are stuck. We have had nurse's report for neglect but it...

  22. The long, scenic route

    WineRN replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

  23. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Tiny one: (while crying) I feel like there is something in my throat. Will I ever get my voice back again? Me: Here, let's start with some water and I'll look at your throat. TO: ::Drinks water::...

  24. How do you get over the boredom/monotony?

    WineRN replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    YES! We have 2 float nurses in our district who are usually busy covering absences and emergencies, but when one comes by to work with me it's like Christmas! I'm able to get so much of the paperwork...

  25. Completing school attendance your task too?

    WineRN replied to MegWorth's topic in School

    I have lots of questions. What exactly is your role in the school? Do they consider you the school "nurse" (your post made it sound like you don't have an RN or LPN)? Why doesn't the RN come in? Have...
