  1. What happens when the nurse is sick?

    WineRN replied to Julius Seizure's topic in School

    I found the agency I worked with on Indeed, but I know my district also posts them on their HR page and then we just redirect them to the agency we

  2. Tips for....

    WineRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I just did Kinders for the first time... and oh my goodness. It's like wrangling a bunch of puppies and getting them all to listen at the same time (and I only had 3 at a time sent to me!) My biggest...

  3. What happens when the nurse is sick?

    WineRN replied to Julius Seizure's topic in School

    If you can get into an agency it will be a little more consistent. That's what I did to dip my toes into school nursing and and I could have easily had a 30-40 hour work week, but I was still doing...

  4. Question

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Don't worry about the little ones anger. Sometimes what we want and what we need are two different things. She needs more help than you can give and you did the right thing. I do NOT think your job...

  5. A new one for me

    WineRN replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    Yes! My little ones want either Tylenol or benedryl for everything. But sometimes the parents are clueless. I had a parent bring me a doctors order for ibuprofen and had a bottle of aspirin with him...

  6. Anyone ever quit school nursing?

    WineRN replied to mag426's topic in School

    Life is much to short to be sad all the time. I did home health right before school nursing and I LOVED my clients and the pay, but HATED the driving and the hours. I started subbing and I REALLY...

  7. keeping records on staff members

    WineRN replied to NurseKitKat's topic in School

    We keep log of them because sometimes they take up good amounts of mine time which my boss wants us to get credit

  8. Question

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    That is a rough situation to be in. Since she is a minor, and our offices are not 100% confidential places (we share info on a need to know basis), I may have spoke to your counselor and had them...

  9. What happens when the nurse is sick?

    WineRN replied to Julius Seizure's topic in School

    I am lucky to be in a very large district. We work with two agencies and have 2 salaried float nurses to cover absences and emergencies. If they are all busy my boss steps in. I posted in the spring...

  10. Don't jump on me! But i'm bored already

    WineRN replied to mag426's topic in School

    I feel like my office is either feast or famine (heavily leaning more towards the first). On days where they are doing special things (spirit days, holiday parties etc), my office is DEAD. Something...

  11. If lice can't jump or fly

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We have a "Swap hat day" in the winter which i think is silly in general, but last year i had a girl come down with live lice that morning who I specifically told NOT to participate. The teacher let...

  13. ROLL CALL!!! School Nurses 2017/2018

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Sorry about the sick kiddo, but welcome!! I can't even imagine a caseload of 2000. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning with my

  14. I can't call all parents!!!

    WineRN replied to nicunursem10's topic in School

    Same as above. I've gotten the parent march into my office the next morning with their hair on fire because I didn't call them when their little one came in. But then we talk about what actually...

  15. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I have a student who I'm 99% sure is faking (confirmed by mom who said she's home today with his sister and he was trying to get her to keep him at home all morning). He asked if he could call his...

  16. Parents Please Do The Paperwork!

    WineRN replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    As a nurse, I do think we have a different personality when it comes to paperwork. I have never been late with my daughter's and I always check everything before sending it. But then there is sweet Mr...

  17. Foreign Exchange Students.....

    WineRN replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    The pink book is awesome. We just had a family with 3 little ones from india coming in, and whoever was working at the health office doing the translation and transcribing must have been having a bad...

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

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I'm all in blue today. Real life lunch fact, I got to run and eat at 12:30 (so crazy!) and every teacher there was SHOCKED to see me out of my office. Given I was called back into my office after 10...

  21. 2017/2018 High Kids

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    This is why it takes the right kind of heart and nurse to handle those high school kiddos. I have parents come in smelling like cannabis, but I can't even imagine having emergency naloxone or worrying...

  22. Molluscum Contagiosum

    WineRN replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    We only exclude "any child with bumps that cannot be covered with a watertight bandage from participating in swimming or other contact sports." But normal class activity we don't, just recommend they...

  23. Pregnancy & Home Health Nursing

    WineRN replied to GVNurse09's topic in Home Health

    I was in a similar position, I did case management visits for homes serving those of ID/DDs. When I was pregnant with my first, my supervisor and I had arranged that after 30 weeks I would not be...

  24. Implementing new programs

    WineRN replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    ^This. Is he worried about the number of sick kids and wants more hand hygiene programs done? Is their concern for over all health and wellness? Is there concern over parent comprehension of medical...

  25. So many sick kids today...

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I'm either getting morning sickness sooner than I did with my last or the stomach bug that's going around here. Thank goodness for
