1. Vaping

   ContraryMary replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

   My 16 yr old is already addicted. We've caught him with 7 different times with a JUUL. SEVEN! I have tried everything but nothing has worked. I'm at a loss. He's a good kid but none of the punishments have phased him.

2. Do you think nurses aren’t taught enough about general emergencies/basic info about emergency medicine?

   ContraryMary replied to stacylethani's topic in General Nursing

   My background is post partum. I never knew how much I don't know until I became a school nurse! The kids aren't near as bad as the adults that think I should know EVERYTHING! It is so frustrating and made me feel insecure my first couple of years. ...

3. Privacy in school nurse's office

   ContraryMary replied to realnursealso/LPN's topic in School

   That is absurd. I have a door to my office with a sign that reads "Please do not enter if the nurse has a student in her office. This is a STATE law." The sign was here before me.

4. Splinters

   ContraryMary replied to Farawyn's topic in School

   When I was little I would purposely get splinters just so I could get them out. (such a weirdo )

5. Solu-cortef

   ContraryMary replied to ContraryMary's topic in School

   Obviously I know how privacy and the internet works. What I don't know is how Facebook/allnurses works together. My question is, do you all share random threads on the Facebook page? That's how I thought it worked? And, if it is, then I would rather ...

6. Solu-cortef

   ContraryMary posted a topic in School

   Tell me all you know about Solu-Cortef and adrenal insufficiency. We have a freshman that had a brain rumor removed around 5 weeks ago. He just came back from home bound today. Apparently his dx is Panhypopituitarism? Basing that on a flyer the paren...

7. New Year, Same Stuff.

   ContraryMary replied to Farawyn's topic in School

   Lord have mercy. What did you do?? I would be caught off guard and not know what to say. But, I think that is something that could totally happen to me at some point!

8. Ear bug!

   ContraryMary replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

   I had a frequent flier come to me complaining of dizziness last year. Found a dead spider in her ear. I called her momma to take her to the dr since I didn't know if I was allowed to attempt it.

9. So I didn't actually think I would get attached...

   ContraryMary replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

   Oh, I'll be a mess! This is my daughter's senior year and I've known lots of these kids since preschool.

10. Did anyone else see that we made it on Facebook?!

    ContraryMary replied to krystalkae's topic in School

    I agree with all of you. It has and will continue to limit my posting since I found out. Actually, I've barely been back here to even lurk. It's unfortunate because I'm brand new and would like to join in with you all.

11. But I'm the Nurse

    ContraryMary replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Well that stinks.

12. But I'm the Nurse

    ContraryMary replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I'm curious about the Facebook comment... Are these threads posted there? I hope your day gets better SullyRN! (I'm grumpy today also.)

13. Pseudo Seizures

    ContraryMary replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    This.

14. School Nurse's Day

    ContraryMary replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    We had steak, baked potato, salad and 3 different homemade cakes for teacher appreciation week. Then I was surprised by a banner and flowers from the office staff and a poster with candy from the HOSA class. Today was a good day! (and NO pseudoseizur...
