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...
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...
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...
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...

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...
^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...

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...

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
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...
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
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...
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...
