  1. I've hit the wall...

    BeckyESRN replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    15 school days until Spring break and 70 days until my due date (a few more until the end of the year, but those don't matter much to me). I hoping I can hang in there until Spring break, but ugh, I'm...

  2. That's So Fetch! (Pink Wednesdays)

    BeckyESRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    My belly has outgrown my hot pink "Got bandaids?" shirt and my pink maternity shirt, so I'm in maroon until I find another pink shirt that actually fits over this

  3. Seizure plan and PE swimming?

    BeckyESRN replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    For my school, we would need an RN on site if the student has emergency meds for seizure, as those cannot be

  4. NO MORE SNOW DAYS!!!

    BeckyESRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    So much for all that snow....we got nada

  5. Does this fall under "my job"?

    BeckyESRN replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    I had this last week- 5th grader told teacher that he didn't take his meds. Teacher is in a tizzy because he's "completely unmanageable without medication". I called mom, kid took his behavior meds,...

  6. NO MORE SNOW DAYS!!!

    BeckyESRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    No snow days this year or last year and only 2 delays (both years combined). I'm ready for spring, but if it's going to snow, it should at least be enough to cancel school. We are under a winter storm...

  7. The Pacer Test

    BeckyESRN replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Your daughter is true hero! I loathe the pacer test! After 20+ years of being a PE teacher, you'd think he could tell them just to sit for a minute and take deep breaths, but nope. Pacer week means...

  8. New to school nursing...Please help with a few questions!

    BeckyESRN replied to RNLisaC's topic in School

    1.) I chart electronically with SNAP, i jot visits down on paper when it's crazy in here. 2.) I have around 400 kiddos and see anywhere from 15-70 a day. Mondays are always the worst, especially after...

  9. Essential oils

    BeckyESRN replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    Nobody is denying that it's a real condition, we're just saying that parents shouldn't attempt to sneak medications into their children's lunch boxes to circumvent the rules. No licensed nurse can...

  10. Was this a concussion?

    BeckyESRN replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    Ugh, not really a resolution. After recess both times could mean that activity is increasing his symptoms. As a parent, I would feel so much better ruling out a concussion, if there was any

  11. Friday!!!

    BeckyESRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Finally Friday! This week has been exhausting. I think everyone is just done at this point; myself, the teachers, the students, everyone. It has been a week of "why did your teacher send you to me for...

  12. I don't want ibuprofen...

    BeckyESRN replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    I used to see this so often with my elderly patients. They'd be admitted and when trying to review meds you'd discover that the patient takes Tylenol (2-500mg tablets) 4x a day for arthritis, plus 2...

  13. I did something bad...

    BeckyESRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    These teacher stories make me glad a nurse has to go on all of my field

  14. Knee surgery

    BeckyESRN replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    First one on and off of the bus, if he rides the bus. Stairs with crutches would worry me, but that can't be helped. Use of the closest restroom, even if that's the staff

  15. What supply company do you use?

    BeckyESRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    All of my ordering goes through the office secretary, so I don't have many answers. The prices from SNS are much better than those from School Health. I don't have anything on auto-ship, but bandaids...

  16. What supply company do you use?

    BeckyESRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I use School Nurse Supply Inc. for almost everything, School Health for a few things that I can't get from the other, and Amazon for Kleenex and

  17. I don't want ibuprofen...

    BeckyESRN replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    Time for someone to learn to swallow pills like a big girl! M&Ms and tic tacs are good

  18. Kids say the darnest things....

    BeckyESRN replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    Must be an

  19. Spring is not the best time of the year...

    BeckyESRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Allergies are the #1 reason that spring is awful. The #2 reason is mud- I saw 13 2nd and 3rd graders today whose teachers expected me to provided a change of clothes for the student's poor decision...

  20. Letters home to parents

    BeckyESRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I'd have to add a faking sick/friend was sick

  21. Office location

    BeckyESRN replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    My office is near the main office and across from the lunchroom and gym. I like being near, but not in, the

  22. Scabies!

    BeckyESRN replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    "I am required to send home letters to inform you of a case of scabies. It is unlikely to be spread at school as prolonged skin to skin contact is not encouraged here. I cannot provide you with any...

  23. They are trying to send ME home!

    BeckyESRN replied to WineRN's topic in School

    The teachers here leave early for every sniffle. I, on the other hand, have to be dying and able to find coverage to take a sick day. I was 15 minutes late this morning because of an OB appt and this...

  24. "So we're doing a peanut butter tasting...

    BeckyESRN replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    Give out some bee-venom lemonade, just for good

  25. Flu shots

    BeckyESRN replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    Giant Eagle comes over and offers the flu shot at the start of flu season, but only to
