  1. HAPPY FRIDAY

    WineRN replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Happy Friday Everyone! I am officially in my happy season with Halloween over and the holidays right around the corner. I have holiday music on in my office and this year I plan on decorating a tiny...

  2. Rain! Rain!

    WineRN replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    I have family in CA and they are celebrating the rain on Facebook too! It is hard to even process the amount of destruction the fires caused this

  5. sneezing for 50+minutes

    WineRN replied to plainfieldguy's topic in School

    I never had sneezes but my best friend gets hiccuping fits that last for 20-25 minutes. Her's is a diaphragm nerve issue, I can't think what would cause

  6. Immunization Drama

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I'm sorry that happened. And I know it's hard but you can't take it personally. I feel like angry parents are just a part of the job, and it is hard when they personally attack you, but as long as you...

  7. Changing kids clothes and cleaning them

    WineRN replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    Maybe I'm making a newbie mistake...but for me It depends on how comfortable they are with their life skills. There are some students I can lay the extra clothes out and bag for dirty clothes and...

  8. My first time...

    WineRN replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

    Double life saver!! Great job at being there for your student and

  9. new and feeling blue..

    WineRN replied to rnknsn's topic in School

    1. Document EVERYTHING. Every bandaid. Do you have access to an EHR for charting or are you just on paper? 2. Have all your immunizations done by your state's required date. In my district we exclude...

  10. Flaming Hot Cheetos are NOT a health food choice!

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

    Flamin' hot Cheetos and we have hawaiian lava pizza as a part of pizza day. I sometimes wish I could just go back and cook breakfast for our students who get the free breakfast. I've seen donuts,...

  11. Awkward situation

    WineRN replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    Since you are getting pushed I would offer, and if they ignore you then that's that. You attempted. Your lead nurse probably doesn't want to deal with another

  12. Just not for me, how to resign

    WineRN replied to jbtota's topic in School

    Life is too short to be unhappy. My only two hesitations with telling you to cut ties and run is: 1. I never think going back to a former employer is a good thing. You left for a reason (probably...

  13. Leaving School Early on Halloween?

    WineRN posted a topic in School

    I didn't know this was a thing. I have about 5 teachers taking personal days for the second half of the day so they can go get their kids to go trick or treating because it's only 2-6pm by them. And I...

  14. new and feeling blue..

    WineRN replied to rnknsn's topic in School

    Once you feel comfortable, clean out that office. I nearly filled a shred bin that is my height the day I finally felt comfortable enough to toss the things I wasn't using or that wasn't needed...

  15. Lonely in the office

    WineRN replied to plainfieldguy's topic in School

    First of all Welcome!! Use this board to learn, vent and laugh! Second, it will take time for staff to learn who you are and trust your judgement. It is definitely a different pace, and they won't...

  16. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Thats nearly exactly what I write too. I asked staff in the spring if they could avoid using the word fever with the kids, and they respect that but now i get told that my teacher said I was "reallly...

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

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Between Halloween and today being a late start, I barely know what day it is. On my way Kidz and Old

  18. Lonely in the office

    WineRN replied to plainfieldguy's topic in School

    I am a part of a few of the groups in the school (environmental group, leader in me, trauma informed care) and that helped me get to know my staff a little more. I also try to seek staff out at the...

  19. Immunization Drama

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I agree. We don't want to loose you on here for a heated comment And I would go above her and let them that you need those documents because the hard copies are not here anymore. That way someone...

  20. If you have filed a report for Medical Neglect

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I had one that was an obvious call and one that I went back and forth on at the end of last year. I had a student who was an undiagnosed asthmatic who's family kept lying to me about getting...

  21. CPR in school

    WineRN replied to CrazySchoolNurse's topic in School

    I'm a certified instructor of two different CPR branches (AHA and Red cross) and I really do like teaching. In my previous position (non school nurse) we would work with the local fire department and...

  22. Normal....

    WineRN replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    I'm sorry you and your community is going through so much. It makes my heart feel heavy every time I hear about an attempted suicide. All you can do is push forward one day at a time. We are all here...

  23. Gotta Love Drama

    WineRN replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    Lol that is a good one! One of my regulars look like they got into a fight...just make

  24. Paramedic and teachers assistant being pushed to cover for a irresponsible school nurse?

    WineRN replied to ScottyWeirdo's topic in School

    I don't think he meant to come across as being disrespectful, an hour lunch IS a pretty long time to be away from the clinic. I'm lucky enough to have someone for lunch coverage and even then most...

  25. School Nurse Left Out! Bombers!!

    WineRN replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    !!! Oh puppies are my weakness. I would be spending the day down
