  4. IHPs

    WineRN replied to Feral.Cat.Herder's topic in School

    I think OD hit the points quiet well. An IHP is what the nurse does to care for a student with a specialized medical need. I have a lot of families who claim their child has food...

  7. One of the nice things about working in a school

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Completely Agree! This job has given me the chance to actually spend the holidays with my family, have a normal sleep schedule and get so much time with my daughter. School Nursing isn't easy but...

  8. Summer 2018 Plans?

    WineRN replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Our last work day is next Friday! We have lots of visits planned to see family, but the main thing I'm looking forward too is all the backyard time with my tiny one. She will be two in July and she...

  9. Privacy violation??

    WineRN replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    I agree but if her district has a similar policy in place that the parents find on the school's website, then they have more fuel to their fire. I absolutely think she did the right thing, because as...

  10. Happy Mother's Day!

    WineRN replied to OldDude's topic in School

    Thanks OD! And your plans with Sweet P sound amazing!! Mr Wine already told me I get to sleep in all weekend for mother's day and he will handle to little one's morning routine, and I am ecstatic...

  11. Privacy violation??

    WineRN replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    I agree with what those above me put BUT our district doesn't allow me to do what you did. I need to get the parents to sign a consent form allowing me to communicate with the doctor. As long as your...

  12. Switch to elementary?

    WineRN replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    Ruby you are so very wise. We should start an inspirational poster line to go with our t-shirt

  13. Calling parents

    WineRN replied to peacockblue's topic in School

    This is very rant worthy. and HIGH SCHOOL?! C'mon now! Parents will probably start asking you to STOP calling and interrupting their work days every time Suzie has a stomach ache before a

  14. Teacher appreciation week...

    WineRN replied to nmr79's topic in School

    I feel you. I'm lucky to have a staff member that I was allowed to train before the school year started. She still calls me but the interruptions are less than 5 minutes and she handles everything...

    This is what I do too.

  17. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I'm shocked you don't have a concussion from the head shaking. I would've lost composure and shrieked like a little girl if I was bending down to check a first graders hand and a stink bug flew out at...

  18. Nurses Pass?

    WineRN replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

    k-5 we use a pass because my little ones wander or will attempt to skip the specialist classes by coming to the nurse. I only have 6 options on my nurse pass for teachers to circle and since I started...

  19. School Nursing

    WineRN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in School

    I was using an agency when I subbed and I really did not like it. The agency's main goal is to maintain the contract. If you have problems with your admin team putting you into unsafe situations, not...

    WineRN replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

  24. Go to the nurse.

    WineRN replied to imaneedmycoffeefirst89's topic in School

    All of these make me laugh so hard and feel much less alone. Today's "I went for my BSN to..." moment was using a hair dryer to dry a pair of pants because my dryer broke and I know both the little...

    WineRN replied to T-ROD's topic in School
