Staff is added into our SNAP program, so I chart them like a normal visit. Almost every day I have a staff member asking me for a temp/BP/Rash check/etc and I feel like that adds to my case as to why...
It must be different state to state, because I definitely both emptied and changed bags as a CNA. If there was ever any issue during the change I'd let the nurse know. As I said earlier, based on...

Same. But sometimes I will admit that I'm tempted when it's just barely hanging on and the little one refuses to try on their own. I have two things I wish I could pass to someone else: Eye injures...
That's the worst sometimes. When you know the little one is working on their acting career and all the staff around you believe them. I'm glad you asked for different placement. Being a school nurse...

YES, Another new T-Shirt! I have one teacher in particular who I bump heads with because she will tell the little ones that they have a fever, and in the past she bought a thermometer to try and prove...

4th of July is the best in Chicago We visit family every year on the 4th. Between the taste, free music and splash pad like area at Millennium park and the AMAZING fireworks at Navy Pier (That you...
I would focus on what you can control. Since you are hired via an agency, I would ask to be assigned to a new school for next year if possible. You are in a toxic environment for not just yourself but...
Yes to all of this! Chicago is my hometown and now I miss it more. Giordanoss and Lou Malnati's have the traditional Chicago pizza and they both have locations not too far from where you will be. I...
We are the same at my district! As a part of our IHP template there is an area for "emergency planning" where I have written out the students symptoms for both hyper and hypo glyecmia and simple steps...
This gets me SO MAD for you. I would ask to speak with someone else because she just isn't being professional. I have two TD1s both with pens. I see them before morning snack, we dose based on their...
