  2. Advice Needed

    But my favorite part is the last sentence. But seriously, I agree that you don't need to tolerate
  3. Good Kids

    We had a all school assembly to surprise our custodian who turned 50. I was a few mins late, so as I'm sneaking into the dark gym one of my Special Needs kiddos saw me and immediately started yelling...
  4. Sent kid home with a fever of 103 yesterday

    We send home at 100.4 and are also fever free for 24 hours without the use of meds. Someone mentioned it in another post, but I do feel like we are turning into a daycare. I have had so many little...
  5. Student rotations in the Health Office

    I hope to have students once I have a few years under my belt. I used to be the main preceptor at my previous position and I like showing nurses that life can be pretty awesome outside of the...
  6. 504 meetings?

    Sorry to bump a old thread again... Before very recently, I have not been asked to attend any meetings (IEP or 504) except one that was directly related to the students asthma. Which I didn't know was...
  7. C'Mon Now!

    Over the walkie "Nurse Wine, I'm sending a second grader down who has a bunch of lice in her hair" Student has dandruff, no sign of lice. But now I have a line of 2nd grade students with notes that...
  8. Yearbook sayings

    I am going to copy this and put it on my door next
  9. Advice Needed

    ^This^ We are not mind readers. You did everything correct based on the situation and information you had at that moment. I'm sorry you are going through such a rough situation. I hope you find a...
  10. Sunscreen in School?

    I feel kinda silly admitting this, but I didn't know you could have a sensitivity to SPF! We allow lotions here, I have a bottle in my self care station for the kids and I have a few of my SSD/OCD...
  11. What Did You Get For Nurses Week?

    Lots! Flowers and cards from the kiddos I work with, lunch both last week and this week, a little tote and ID holder, and a travel coffee cup from my direct
  12. Is It a Full Moon?

    I thought the same thing.
  13. Is It a Full Moon?

    All the stomach aches without fevers!! I'm at the point where parents are tired of me calling and they are picking them
  14. Boosting Immune system

    Thanks everyone for the input (especially those who let me know that there is a light at the end of this
  15. 504 for osteogenesis imperfecta

    Bouncy house day?!! That is like a school nurse nightmare right there! It does sound like the Special Services Office is overstepping. If the guardian and doctor don't want it, they just have to...
  16. Boosting Immune system

    I have a little one at home (she's now 10 months!), so sleep is a hit or miss kinda thing. Plus with her being new at daycare, she picks up things there and bring them home. We are literally a germ...
  17. Resources

    School Nurse Procedures | It breaks down a variety of procedures based on the body system. It was a nice review of things I haven't done yet as a school nurse
  18. That's So Fetch! (Pink Wednesdays)

    :roflmao: Threads like this are why people lurk on our
  19. SMDH...sigh

    YES! You would think staff would understand that it's allergy season by now, but instead it must be a pink eye
  20. C'Mon Now!

    That is definitely a "C'mon now" moment I feel like 99% of the time my staff depends on me to be the fact checker/parent caller for most things, so they probably would have acted the same
  21. Not my problem!

    I thought it was only my littles that had frequent bathroom injuries! As a newbie, I just can't grasp why climbing the doors or putting your fingers next to wear the door closes is so tempting to...
  22. Possible new (nursing) drinking game

    I love that
  23. 504 for osteogenesis imperfecta

    I thought 504 requests had to come from the parents? I've only done one 504 eval per the parent's request, and the parent refused all of the accommodations we
  24. Respecting Privacy, HIPAA & The School Newsletter

    I agree with the others, you can't stop the gossip mill. But I think we have all been there and have felt your frustration. It's like a game of telephone and by the time it gets back to you it sounds...
  25. Over reacting Principals

    Agreed. But like I said back in my first response, that incident has made my principal and parents a little more sensitive about anything coming from my office. But it's getting better day by day...
