  2. Epi Given to Student - My First Time

  3. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    This is a mix of C'mon and kinda adorable. I had a kinder fall at recess, and immediately told the teacher he was going to throw up. He came to my office looking straight at the ceiling while holding...

  6. One diagnosis....

    WineRN replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    Ugh that's tough. I feel like most parents don't want anything wrong with their little one, but then there are a few who go out of their way to find a doctor to write whatever accommodations they want...

  7. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    One of my second graders that sees me for daily meds was telling me how they tonight are leaving for 2 weeks to go to Jamaica. Over the summer they went to Greece and in the spring they were on a two...

  8. Stressed out, is it just me?

    WineRN replied to AllykatRN's topic in School

    Like everyone else said, Just hold on! Someone posted when I first started about it being a circus, and at first it really is. Learning all the ropes, training teachers about how YOU are going to run...

  9. Head injuries

    WineRN replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    I would talk to your supervisor and admin about a possible protocol change. Similar to what was stated above, I do a case by case assessment and call on EVERY head injury. I have a few parents with...

  10. I can handle just about anything...

    WineRN replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    Yes! My teachers loose their minds when I can't come and pick up the student and the trash can from the classroom. Also staff who insist on sending the same little one down to me over and over and...

    WineRN replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

  13. Immunization Compliance

    WineRN replied to RNTexas13's topic in School

  14. Migraines

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

    This is why I love this board. I have never even thought about suggesting chewable/liquid/non soda caffeine options!! And that would be effective quicker and so much better than drinking a

  15. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I just had a student sent to me so she could blow her nose... C'mon

  16. Migraines

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

    In his defense, a few of my chronic migraine kids have caffeinated drinks in their bags just in case. I'm still mixed on how I feel about it but for some of them it helps. I would touch base with the...

  17. If lice can't jump or fly

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Me either. I mentioned my concerns to a teacher last year who immediately shot me down saying that she "was sure" that the kids don't have the hats on long enough for lice to be an issue. But some of...

  18. Rough Day Yesterday

    WineRN replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    This. I'm still new to this role and building and there was a handful on staff who definitely didn't appreciate me...until I gave that Epi a few weeks ago during the fire drill. They aren't in our...

  19. Outside providers treating students in your clinic

    WineRN replied to BSNRNHS's topic in School

    We are the same. Whenever we bring in outside providers they need to be approved by the district and have a certain agreement with the district signed annually. We used a mobile dental company for...

  21. Question

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Your Admin may not get that you have a different relationship with students than other staff. The health office is a safe place, and if they have seen you a few times and feel comfortable with you, of...

  22. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Student comes in reporting nausea and just looks unwell. I call home, Mom comes in to "check him out". Sits down and tries to tell him he doesn't look bad at all and needs to go back to class. Kid...
