  1. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I have had a cough for the past two weeks, and even though it sounds bad, I actually don't feel awful. Today I had two teachers come in to tell me how they are concerned and how I "need to go get some...

  2. Staff Hysteria

    WineRN replied to Ashizzle's topic in School

    She could never sue you guys, She has admitted to being noncompliant with her treatment which is what is causing these issues. Your cots (and all of the supplies in your office) are for STUDENTS, NOT...

  3. Migraine Action Plan

    WineRN replied to theredhen's topic in School

    Thinking of you! I went through a similar situation at the start of the school year and it is just now calming

  4. Migraine Action Plan

    WineRN replied to theredhen's topic in School

    No no no no no! Not Legit. And boo to the nurse who let her get away with it for so long because you are about to be the bad guy for requesting an actual doctor's order and written plan. She is going...

  5. kids going home when they really don't need to

    WineRN replied to nurseshellyRN's topic in School

    I do this, but there are a few parents where I will just slip a note to the teacher to put in the students folder at the end of the day because I KNOW if I call, no matter what I say, they will come...

  6. PRN medications

    WineRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I'm jealous, I have an entire basket filled of OTCs that are rarely ever used. I had to throw away so much last year because of things expiring and parents telling me to so that way they didn't need...

  7. Next steps in nursing career after BSN

    WineRN replied to Meerkats's topic in School

    It sounds like you still have some soul searching to do. If you do want to eventually end up in the hospital, school nursing is not the path to get you there. If you like public/community health,...

  8. Just a question on diabetic kid

    WineRN replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    I'm in the same boat. When my kiddo with TD1 runs high, we only go up to 5 units, even if the sliding scale says to give more because anything over that she has a history of crashing down into the 30s...

  9. Case Study

    WineRN replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    Both of those articles are super interesting! I was leaning towards anaphylaxis and needing the epi at the beginning (esp with the possible tongue swelling). But it definitely sounds like something...

  10. Long term Sub Nurse

    WineRN replied to catlovernurse_x's topic in School

    I would touch base with the nursing supervisor. I don't think you are responsible for the screenings, but they should be keeping you in the loop on when this other nurse is

  11. Restroom Visits

    WineRN replied to SchoolNurse2017's topic in School

    I make all of my little ones show me, and if they are claiming it happened and no one saw them and they are clinically fine now, I have them sit in my office for 10 mins and then send them

  12. I did something wrong. Help!

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I think OldDude said it best. If you were not trained on what and how to report certain diseases, you aren't at fault. You are not a nurse, so they cannot claim you are negligent about something you...

  13. Horrible day! Need reassuring!

    WineRN replied to scuba nurse's topic in School

    That is a tough day. As everyone else said, you did everything right. I think in the heat of the moment people say things and become angry before understanding the situation. Your principal probably...

  14. Staff Hysteria

    WineRN replied to Ashizzle's topic in School

    ^This. I work with a lot of hypochondriacs, so I know the medical history of most of the staff here and I do try to help them whenever they have questions about their own personal medical issues. But...

  15. Another Bad Day

    WineRN replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    My heart just aches thinking of that family and your community. I hope you whole district gets the support it needs dealing with back to back

  16. What are you seeing in your office?

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We had strep run through the first two weeks of school here Right now it's a mix of allergies and bronchitis, sometimes little ones have both on board which is no fun. We are in spelling bee season...

  17. Munchausen on the increase?

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

    And this takes up valuable classroom time too. I have a student where the teacher needs to assign her a lunch buddy to sit next to EVERY DAY, which means she has to check everyone's lunches every day...

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

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Pink Butterfly top! I'm on a 3 week

  19. Need Advice Plz Help!

    WineRN replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    As a newbie I still struggle with caring more than some of my parents do. And I agree 100% that when there is a real medical emergency, all of a sudden you are the most valuable person to everyone...

  20. Need Advice Plz Help!

    WineRN replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    First Welcome to the group! Second, I am so sorry you are in the situation you are in. I would try to have a meeting with your principal and assistant principal to establish protocols for who/what...

  21. Kid with diabetes - need the hive mind

    WineRN replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    Maybe he is just riding the "I can eat whatever I want because I can just take more insulin to cover me" train of thought? Does he seem to want to be in school? I think having the teachers talk to...

  22. Type 1 4-year-old low!

    WineRN replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    You are a rock star for handling that so well.

  23. Munchausen on the increase?

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

    This is something I HATE dealing with. I feel like our MD/OD/NP/etc colleagues need to toughen up when it comes to ridiculous parent requests. I've received doctor's notes stating that "little bobby...

  24. Joining the group!

    WineRN replied to plainfieldguy's topic in School

    Welcome! This is by far the nicest group on
