    WineRN replied to KSM-RN's topic in School

  5. Teachers who frequently check their temperatures

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Pretty much my entire staff here is a bunch of hypochondriacs. But what drives me nuts is when they won't go home for something they should. I had a first grade teacher with pink eye who I saw in the...

  7. epipen recall

    WineRN replied to Oma to 11's topic in School

    I'm not sure if this is kosher, but I am keeping the free ones that are expiring so I can teach my staff how to use them by injecting a hardy fruit (in nursing school we injected oranges with epi). I...

  12. Good Kids

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I had a special needs student throwing up everywhere in my office. The poor staff with him was trying her best to chase him with the trash can while I was on the phone getting screamed at by his...

  13. 1000 specialists...

  15. And on a personal note

    WineRN replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    I'm sorry. That has to be very frustrating. I've heard similar stories from others who got the daith piercing for migraines, but some relief is better than none right? Sending some positive can do...

  16. Good Kids

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I have two kindergarten students who "invented" new hand lotion for me by mixing hand sanitizer and the lotion "from Mrs. ***'s desk". It made me laugh really hard and they thankfully didn't use all...

  17. Anyone leave over money/salary issue?

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Even though salary is important, I agree 100% with OD that you should stay where you are happy. I was making a little over double in my previous nursing position, but I would never ever go back there...

  18. My Arm Touched the Walll!

    WineRN replied to villageRN's topic in School

    I feel your pain. It rained here yesterday and I had so many little ones that had mud on their shoes that their teacher sent down to be "put in the nurse washer"... I wrote back that the washer was...

  19. 1000 specialists...

    WineRN replied to WineRN's topic in School

    I feel the same way about the kids missing SO MUCH class. We have a few students who bounce from me, to the counselor to needing a break where they usually get restrained which brings them back to me...

  20. Kindergarten Parent info.

    WineRN replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Our school sends a folder with a bunch of wellness info that our PE teacher actually puts in. My parts are the vaccination information, "when to stay home" checklist and medication administration...

  22. Therapeutic boredom win

    WineRN replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

  24. It smells like...

    WineRN replied to Flare's topic in School

    We are a "scent free" district. But they keep giving me the lemon scented lysol, so I think my office is the best smelling place in the school.

    WineRN replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    I have to keep records of ANY and ALL students that are related to our school. Part time SSD, virtual classrooms, and current students are all my responsibility. I asked in the beginning why we have...
