  1. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    WineRN replied to mslove's topic in School

    You did everything the way I have in the past in these situations. If there is no large physical harm, there is no reason for the student to remain with you. The student always has gone back to class...

    WineRN replied to ljantzi's topic in School

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We applied for a grant to send my type 1 student over the summer and she LOVED it. She learned how to count her own carbs, and why we don't always want to depend on insulin to make up for poor diet...

  9. YOUR Childhood School Nurse memories

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

  12. Small Vent

    WineRN posted a topic in School

    I posted recently about how I popped my epi cherry. The only bad thing about that event was that the student's father came and refused EMS transport. He assured me and the staff that he would take her...

  13. Good Kids

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

  16. Ears and Throats!

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

    I have an otoscope I use but 8/10 times there is so much wax I can't see the ear drum. The other times, the little one is so freaked out by me saying I'm going to look in their ear, they squirm and I...

  17. So annoyed/offended right now

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    This is wonderful. I feel like we all struggle with giving certain families all of the information on how to succeed but then get frustrated when they just ignore it or don't take it in. But failure...

    WineRN replied to ljantzi's topic in School

    We have a computer program (SNAP) where I chart everything except bathroom visits (that would be most of my day if i did that). On very very busy days, I have a paper log sheet that I use to jot down...

  19. This is gonna be a loooong year

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

  20. Good Kids

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    We don't hire LPNs, our district is minimum BSN. Pay increases if you get your masters or certification. Our payscale is similar to the teachers but we start less and have a higher raise year to year...

  23. So annoyed/offended right now

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    That does sting. That nurse obviously has NO IDEA how much work you need to put in to make sure he is safe at school. Hopefully whoever calls you back is more understanding on what a huge role you are...
