  1. Found a great on-line resource

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Thanks! Is there a thread to post useful links on already? I get so excited every time I find something useful. I found posters of super heroes washing their hands on the CDC website that I'm now...

  2. Sweet, Honey

    WineRN replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    Lucky. EVERYONE touched my belly when I was out in public while I was preggers (I was put on bedrest at 20 weeks, so i didn't get out much) But no one calls me by any pet names here

    WineRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

  4. May I have your attention please?

    WineRN replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    I'm pretty sure I would be fired if I tried to put a little louse in a baggie for science. Or they would all come with the pitchforks to remove me

  5. Spring is not the best time of the year...

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

  8. Office location

    WineRN replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    Our school is basically one long hallway with pods that branch off for each grade level, the gym, cafeteria and library. I am towards the back end of the school, completely opposite from our main...

    WineRN replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

  14. Do you remove ticks?

    WineRN replied to Riley RN's topic in School

    I haven't had to deal with this yet, but there are mulitple tick removing kits in my office, so I'm assuming its a thing the nurse before me did often. Soap totally works, and so does cooking oil if...

  19. My kid is THAT kid!

    WineRN replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Thankfully my little one is too small to be "that kid" yet (She's only 7 months), but I turned into "THAT parent" this morning. I told her daycare how 'she had a runny nose last night and didn't sleep...

  20. HIPAA, FERPA and how do you inform teachers about the health concerns in their class?

    WineRN replied to cmomrn's topic in School

    This is what I'm planning to do next year. The previous nurse gave out lists that were marked confidential,but it still doesn't feel ok to
