  1. Good Kids

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I have a few kids with braces who brush their teeth after lunch in my office. Today's debate in the bathroom was if "Charlie, Charlie" knows "Bloody Mary". After a large discussion, one student...

  2. Resources

    WineRN replied to WineRN's topic in School

    It's pretty lengthy, but I am a sucker for flow charts. I'm considering printing this out and putting it next to my sub binder just in case there is ever a chance that multiple emergencies happen at...

  3. Calling 911

    WineRN replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    I almost had to call on a student with acute respiratory distress who wasn't responding well to our emergency neb treatment, because her guardian was trying to argue with me about coming to get her....

  4. Minor Questions

    WineRN replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    I feel the same. I tried doing letters, but they never seem to make it home (I got called once a week later because a parent found a letter wadded up on the bottom of her little ones

  5. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    We just an an unexpected fire alarm and it was a thunder storm outside. I feel like half the school followed me to my office for: New Shirts (NOPE, it's water you will live) New Socks (We don't have...

    WineRN replied to it'snotatumor's topic in School

    Well said!

  7. It's just anaphylaxis

    WineRN replied to it'snotatumor's topic in School

    But that really isnt the point of the thread. Parent's need to take responsibility for their children instead of pushing it off on the school. I have an emergency pen available to me, but I have...

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

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    We had a Blues day today, so all I have is my pink coffee cup and lanyard. Next week I'll be at the cool

  9. Sub vent

    WineRN replied to Duncan6's topic in School

    I'm so sorry you are going through this. They are big about pushing the Certification on us in my district too, but you HAVE THE EXPERIENCE and wouldn't need to be trained from scratch. That alone...

  10. Creeped out

    WineRN replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    I would feel like it's a red flag issue too. Are you close with your school counselor? Maybe let them know what you saw. I'm not allowed to see the discipline records for students for "privacy...

  11. Organizational Tips

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    The online system we use has the student's pictures uploaded, so the nurse before me printed out the student's picture and attached it to their epipen/inhaler/med cubby. I have a binder with all of...

  13. What to do this summer...

    WineRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    23 more school days until Summer Break here! My grapevines have started taking off, so hopefully I will have enough this year for a small batch of my favorite fluid. And jam for the tiny one.

  14. Delegation question

    WineRN replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    I think it depends on your state's BON rules. Here in MO, as long as the parent gives permission to administer to that adult and that adult is properly trained, then it's ok, but back in IL I'm pretty...

  15. Fidget Spinners

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    This is exactly how I feel too. I have one student who got one a few weeks ago and it's helped her TREMENDOUSLY. I had one of my diabetics come in and tell me her mom was getting her one, and when I...

  16. The "Best" Nurse Pass Notes

    WineRN replied to WineRN's topic in School

    "Hit on the cheek with pen" I asked her if another student threw a pen at her and little one told me no, she was wiggling her pen and it suddenly hit her cheek and her teacher told her to come

  17. Lice Options

    WineRN replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I am in the same boat, sometimes I feel like I need to start working at one of these clinics on the weekend because it is CRAZY how much they charge. I just remind them that there are prescription and...

    WineRN replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    Question about Vision: I have a teacher who asked me to rescreen three students who didn't seem to be seeing well in class. All three passed but none had stellar vision (20/30-20/40). Would it be...
