  1. 100% Vaccination compliance and classroom first aid kits

    BeckyESRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I send a baggie of bandaids and pair of gloves. In the winter I sent a tube a vaseline and some cotton swabs. If they want anything more than that, they can do it themselves. But I only have 19...

    BeckyESRN replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    At the hospital, my superpower was the ability to win over the most difficult doctors. Need an order from the notoriously cranky cardiologist at 2am? I'm your girl:) Need a new heparin order from the...

  3. Great surgeon story

    BeckyESRN replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    Yay! An "I love my job" post is refreshing! When I worked at the hospital, a good portion of our docs were great about answering questions or explaining procedures to the nurses that would ask. I had...

  4. A new one for me

    BeckyESRN replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    A shellfish allergy is not an allergy to iodine. The old school of thought was that the iodine actually triggered the reaction, but it's not believed that that is the case. The shellfish allergy is...

  5. Ice for injuries

    BeckyESRN replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    That being said, I give ice for visible injuries. If there's no mark, no redness, no swelling, no bruise-then I probably won't give ice. If it's older than 48, no ice. If it happened over the weekend...

  6. Ice for injuries

    BeckyESRN replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    Here's blog post that I came across. He sites his sources! The research actually finds that icing may not be the best thing to do. But little kids sure think it works miracles!...

    I really like my VeraTemp touchless thermometer! No issues with accuracy and it's

  13. C'Mon Now!

    BeckyESRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Why?!? Why are these children absolutely "dying" in class, crying, head down, clutching the yucky bucket, moaning in pain, but perfectly fine when they arrive at my office? I get "I have a little bit...

  14. Suggestions for a Goal.

    BeckyESRN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Getting teacher to understand that a wiggly primary tooth is not a reason to see the nurse; it is especially not a reason to interrupt said nurse's lunch! That is my goal for the year- I think I'll...

  15. Old Dude or other Tx nurses...is it true?

    BeckyESRN replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    When you put them in a baggie and pin them to your bulletin board, do you have to send home a separate letter or can that be included in the first

  16. So many sick kids today...

    BeckyESRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Everyone here has the sniffles and a sore throat. Everyone also thinks that they MUST go home because of this minor discomfort. My allergies and asthma are acting up because mother nature can'd decide...

  17. Pittsburg in the news

    BeckyESRN replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    More than once I've said "Don't tell me about them, don't share them and don't cause problems in class with them" in reference to cough drops. I don't want to know! Just keep 'em in your pocket and...

  18. C'Mon Now!

    BeckyESRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Mass hysteria in 4th grade yesterday! 6 girls came in from the playground scratching like crazy. Girl 1 is the only calm, non-scratching one- she says "They all held a fuzzy caterpillar and I told...

    Same here. Hubby insisted that I needed an iPhone a few years ago. I was perfectly happy with my beater Droid, but then I drank the Kool Aid. Now there's no going

  21. C'Mon Now!

    BeckyESRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

  22. Re wrapping splints?

    BeckyESRN replied to Shellaaay10x's topic in School

    I will reapply a wrap/splint as needed. I usually call home after to let a parent know that I rewrapped, especially if it was on incorrectly when I saw the kiddo(most often because said kiddo was...

  24. YOUR Childhood School Nurse memories

    BeckyESRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School
