    Parents Threatening to take away Christmas

    OldDude replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    It's been said before but, you have to have a license to drive a car but anyone can have children. You can't fix a situation like this; any intervention is only temporary. To refer to it as sad is a...

    OldDude replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I confront them in a manner of agreeing with them about what they believe but my decision regarding student assessment is the way it is going to be. For instance, Teacher, "I don't agree with you not...

    Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

    I would pursue forcing the special ed department to hire a full time nurse to care for this child. Emphasis, special ed department; these poor kids would not be attending public school if not for the...

    Do you ever say "no" to an inhaler request?

    OldDude replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    I'm a big fan of the movie Mr. Woodcock, where the high school coach forces the asthmatic kid to run laps to learn how to control his asthma. That's what we do at my school. Lock up the inhalers and...

    ADHD Student on Rampage

    OldDude replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Yea, you work in a school, not a psych unit, so forcing a student to take a medicine isn't in your job scope. I will try to convince an unwilling child to take their medicine, I will sit with them and...

    OldDude replied to vikivail26's topic in School

    Does your school policy specifically prohibit "smelly students?" If so, what mechanism is in place to decide if an odor is considered to be offensive? Like others have mentioned, if it's a social or...

    School Nurse Gives Wrong Medication

    OldDude replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I had a sub nurse give an ADHD med to the wrong kid here at my campus. She was very upset and I really felt sorry for her. It didn't make the news and no real negative fall-out came from it. The...

    Since head lice are not considered a health hazard, CPS would not get involved if the report was just about that. If your school policy prohibits head lice, excessive absenteeism because of untreated...
