  1. ADHD meds in milk?

    BeckyESRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I had a 1st grader that we did this for. I just opened the capsule and poured it into a small amount (dixie cup) of milk and stirred it. He'd drink it and I'd refill it and have him take another drink...

  2. Immunization Drama

    BeckyESRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Yay on getting that number down to 2! It's no easy task! I have no idea why parents get all upset about turning in paperwork. They know it needs to be done. Often, they've already had to shots. It's...

  3. C'Mon Now!

    BeckyESRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

  4. Pressure Ulcers as a Quality Indicator?

    BeckyESRN replied to luffle's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I can't speak to rates, because I don't work inpatient any more. But when I did, our wound care team consisted of the head resident and their advisor (they pretty much just reviewed orders), a wound...

  5. Want some advice on what to do in situations

    BeckyESRN replied to ABRN2012's topic in School

  6. Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    BeckyESRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    A local pharmacist comes to our schools and offers the flu vax for staff. It's very convenient, plus I can bug the staff with emails and lunch room flyers, so they don't

  7. Changing kids clothes and cleaning them

    BeckyESRN replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    Same here. In a similar topic, I cannot believe the number of 1st graders that have never put their own pants

  8. C'Mon Now!

    BeckyESRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I had a few 4th grade girls come see me because "My friend said my forehead is really hot" I told each one of them that friend's hands are notoriously unreliable thermometers, especially because their...

  9. Flaming Hot Cheetos are NOT a health food choice!

    BeckyESRN replied to River Song, RN's topic in School

    Ouch!

  10. Why nurses don't want to talk to a ward psychologist?

    BeckyESRN replied to manjar's topic in General Nursing

    That actually sounds really helpful! However, we work during work time. I cannot recall a single shift during my time at the hospital where I had more than a couple of minutes to attend even an...

  11. question about RN market and demand

    BeckyESRN replied to xuale01's topic in General Nursing

    Dang, elkpark, no matter which thread you're on, people seem to like to ignore the research you

  12. Flaming Hot Cheetos are NOT a health food choice!

    BeckyESRN replied to River Song, RN's topic in School

    I had a 5th grade boy that ate 5 or 6 bags of flamin hot cheetos and drank 10-12 cartons of milk on a dare. I have never seen so much vomit in all my life! And it was neon. His dad was not

  13. Is this okay?

    BeckyESRN replied to NewcallRN's topic in General Nursing

    At my former hospital, your current manager could hold you for 16 weeks for an internal

  14. C'Mon Now!

    BeckyESRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I chart this ALL THE TIME! Student reports "My teacher checked my head with her hand and said that I have a fever and need to go home" thermometer reads 98.7, note sent to

  15. School Nurse Left Out! Bombers!!

    BeckyESRN replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    We had Halloween parties and a parade on Friday. I love "fall fest" day, the kids are all excited, their costumes are great, and no one fakes sick because the parties are at the end of the day! I wore...

  16. Leaving School Early on Halloween?

    BeckyESRN replied to WineRN's topic in School

    hmm...I wanna go home early! But alas, our trick or treat is from

  17. Immunization Drama

    BeckyESRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I know you're heated right now, but you may want to edit your post. To address the issue: she needs to give you a copy of his immunizations, period. He's non-complaint and, if it's exclusion time,...

  18. Paramedic and teachers assistant being pushed to cover for a irresponsible school nurse?

    BeckyESRN replied to ScottyWeirdo's topic in School

    Where is OP? We have questions, come

  19. called 911

    BeckyESRN replied to basketball13's topic in School

    You did the right thing! She improved with O2, you do not have O2. As nurses, we seem to think that it has to be something catastrophic to call EMS, but, please keep in mind, EMS gets calls from...

  20. Learned something new from all of you :)

    BeckyESRN replied to JBudd's topic in General Nursing

    I had a family member call a "condition H"(anyone can call this and it's written on those pesky white boards) because we refused to bring his mother a ginger ale. At the time I don't think it was...

  21. Paramedic and teachers assistant being pushed to cover for a irresponsible school nurse?

    BeckyESRN replied to ScottyWeirdo's topic in School

    I think this depends entirely on the role that you were hired for. If you are there as a teacher's assistant, you should only be working as such. If you are there to "cover as needed" this needs to be...

  22. Interesting Lice Tidbit!

    BeckyESRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in School

    Ugh! I loathe the "Lice Doctors". The ones around here claim that they can pinpoint the day your dear child was "infected", ummm No, Brittany the wedding photographer, you cannot. I call bull... ^This...

  23. Subs

    BeckyESRN replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    Our sub pay is the same and it sucks. It absolutely is not fair compensation for amount of liability involved. We do offer "special events" pay which is only for field trips when a nurse is required...

  24. Stomach Virus

    BeckyESRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Same^. Since it's Friday, hopefully they can deep clean this weekend to give you a fresh start on Monday. You may want to see if your principal would send an email blast reminding parents of the 24...

  25. Migraine Action Plan

    BeckyESRN replied to theredhen's topic in School

    I have 2 himalayan salt lamps at home. I bought them at the zoo before they were trendy. I do not believe that they "purify" the air or that they remove "negative ions" but the orange glow is pretty:)...
