    BeckyESRN replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    I'm mean too. If you say you puked, but no one witnessed it and you look fine, then crackers and a few minutes on a cot. Most often my little ones think that puking means coughed a felt mucus. The big...

    BeckyESRN replied to NurseLove01's topic in General Nursing

    Sick or not, those hours are your's to use as you see fit. You're entitled to that time, so use it. The world will not end if you call off. The hospital I worked for never asked for a detailed reason...

    BeckyESRN replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

  5. C'Mon Now!

    BeckyESRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Yesterday I saw a 3rd grader twice because "I poked my thumb with a pointy thing on Friday" No evidence of anything on her thumb. Reassured her that she's fine. And of course, she returned after...

    BeckyESRN replied to CRB3360's topic in General Nursing

  10. "I'm Dizzy"

    BeckyESRN replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    I have little guys so I ask what dizzy means to them. Sometimes dizzy means hungry or hot or something completely different. I check temp, a quick pulse, ask where they were and what they were doing...

  14. Anyone ever quit school nursing?

    BeckyESRN replied to mag426's topic in School

  16. Don't jump on me! But i'm bored already

    BeckyESRN replied to mag426's topic in School

  19. If lice can't jump or fly

    BeckyESRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I agree that teachers should not be storing coats and backpack in piles, have "buddy reading" with students sharing bean bags, ect. Not because I believe that lice will be transmitted this way, but...

  20. Mom already took me to the doctor, but what's your take on this?

    BeckyESRN replied to Flare's topic in School

    BeckyESRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Oh, no! If your entire class is passing around head lice perhaps we should look at what you're doing wrong in your classroom that allows for this to happen. The CDC and APA agree that, under normal...
