  1. Pittsburg in the news

    WineRN replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    I've posted before about my little one who came in with a family members inhaler and when I called and explained to mom I couldn't use it, she FREAKED out because she felt I was withholding life...

  2. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    It's within the first 5 minutes of school, little one walks in with a pass from a sub that says "student has a fever and needs to go home." Student is wearing winter jacket (it's in the 90s here in...

  3. "She can't do anything"

    WineRN replied to kkbb's topic in School

    To go with what OldDude said, if your son simply said his throat hurt, a teacher might hesitate to send him. Most of my teachers know to have the student try extra water and rest before coming to

  4. parents won't pick up sick kid!

    WineRN replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    But those people still need to have a plan and then back ups to that plan. My closet family member is 300+ miles away. It's just me, Mr Wine and the baby. We literally have 4 different pick up plans...

  5. So many sick kids today...

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    It must be a monday thing because its been almost non stop since I came in

  6. Should I purchase liability insurance?

    WineRN replied to ang888's topic in School

    Depends on your district. I'm lucky to be in a larger one where most of the nurses are in the union, so we actually have a separate person from the teachers that we would contact if legal services...

  7. Miss being a school nurse!

    WineRN replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Good

  8. parents won't pick up sick kid!

    WineRN replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    Most of us didn't really know what we were getting into until we started to sub or work in a school full time.

  9. Old Dude or other Tx nurses...is it true?

    WineRN replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]24941[/ATTACH] I just received a box from NIX (the previous nurse was on their mailing list) and it was covered with this cartoon lice guy that just makes me laugh. I ended up throwing...

  10. essential oils

    WineRN replied to peacockblue's topic in School

    Update on my EO kiddo: It's getting applied at home, I haven't received an email or angry phone call all week. Little one has been having a TOUGH time in class. But today my principal came to touch...

  11. Proud moment today!

    WineRN replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    Great Job to you

  12. Suicide Policy

    WineRN replied to janetpa's topic in School

    We have a huge flow chart that we follow as a part of our procedures, but the basics are: *If it is verbal, or if written evidence is found and the student is not currently in danger -They are brought...

  13. These parents are killing me

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Welcome back Mr Nurse! And the reason we have to say things like a "true allergy", is because we have parents who think a stomach ache after a PB&J means their child is deathly allergic to...

  14. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    This morning a teacher walked in with a student who had a "Awful rash all over her face" It was bright pink. I looked at the students hands and they had a bunch of hot pink stars drawn on. C'mon now....

  15. Uncontrolled asthma, parents won't pick up- what to do?

    WineRN replied to great_lakes_expat's topic in School

    Our SNAP program has a report where I can show how many minutes a student has spent with me for a given length of time. I had a little one at the end of last school year that was diagnosed asthma and...

  16. If your school isn't all free/reduced meals...

    WineRN replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Thanks for the clarification, in the OP I saw K-12 and my mind jumped to the older

  17. parents won't pick up sick kid!

    WineRN replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    I think her point (correct me if I'm wrong LM) is that it's hard to dump a case load of high needs patients to another nurse and leave the unit short because of something like a low grade fever, or...

  18. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    If anyone has any magic cures (or ways to get the kinders to hold their breath for more than 2 seconds) please share! I see hiccups frequently

  19. parents won't pick up sick kid!

    WineRN replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    This is why someone asked if you were a school nurse. It's protocol in nearly all districts to send home for a fever, because as you know a fever is just a symptom of else in the body, and most of the...

  20. If your school isn't all free/reduced meals...

    WineRN replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I might be in the minority here...but I don't think your school is doing a bad thing. In most schools multiple notices go out to parents when they are approaching the 0 on a students lunch money....

  21. parents won't pick up sick kid!

    WineRN replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    I think this is the point some people are missing. Having sick ones in the office is a part of the job. Being unable to pick up your child once or twice due to work is no fun for everyone involved...

  22. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    New T-shirt

  23. Health Issues in School Setting

    WineRN replied to kinkin92's topic in School

    It might be because I haven't finished my coffee yet, but I'm not sure what you are actually asking for. Issues that are common with special needs students? Or examples on how traditional school...

  24. Good Kids

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I had a little one just clean up the cracker crumbs she left on my mat. It's the little things sometimes.

  25. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I had one teacher go home sick yesterday after visiting with me. She had all of the same symptoms as a few of the little ones I sent home during the day. Today I've checked 5 teachers temps because...
