  1. Head Injuries

    BeckyESRN replied to mattfd37's topic in School

    I'm sometimes amazed at what people think needs an escort-my finger hurts, my belly hurts, ect.. vs what doesn't- I hit my head really hard on the play ground and i feel dizzy, diabetic who feels low,...

  2. Teachers

    BeckyESRN replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I've had a few that required some ummm....re-teaching. One teacher sent me a group of kids because they were coughing and making it difficult for her to concentrate. All of the kids felt fine, 2 of...

  3. How do you tell your MS/HS kids it's only a cold?

    BeckyESRN replied to verdeacres's topic in School

    I love my stock benadryl, it has come in handy many, many times. Luckily, my instructions are just "for allergy symptoms" so I've been able to save a few parents from having to pick up their little...

  4. Initial doses for po antibiotics

    BeckyESRN replied to Diegot.92's topic in Patient Medications

    Also, look at Abx being given via other routes, was an IV route given today? then administer the po in the morning. If a new order, give it and retime the subsequent doses if

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

    BeckyESRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I'm hoping for a pink snow day

  6. Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

    BeckyESRN replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Excellent advice by all. This is not something that you can manage whilst managing the health and well being of an entire

  7. ADHD Student on Rampage

    BeckyESRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Again, not in this extreme situation, but I would look at what is going on in the classroom leading up to medication time. My first year, I had a kiddo that has meds twice a day and he would take his...

  8. How much time for break?

    BeckyESRN replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    In service for teachers on the 23rd-then everyone is back on the

  9. A little chuckle.

    BeckyESRN replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Better Pizza and ice cream sandwiches than the elusive Hatchimal everyone is asking

  10. Bottle Up The Magic

    BeckyESRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I see WAY more kids leading up to break, but on that final fun day, it's all crickets in

  11. Stop, putting this on me...

    BeckyESRN replied to Bevp's topic in School

    I saw 5 kids yesterday at the same time with the same complaint "My teacher said you need to give me new pants" Why new pants you ask?, well because their knees were muddy:sarcastic: Just the knees, 2...

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

    BeckyESRN replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    I've never told a kid no, but I have called home about frequent use when I suspected that it was some thing other than actually needing the

  13. Is it just me?

    BeckyESRN replied to vvasq87's topic in School

    I've seen 14 vague "my stomach hurts" today. Last week it was sore throats that started "just

  14. ADHD Student on Rampage

    BeckyESRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I always clear it with the parent, but seriously, 2 M&Ms are not going to send a kid over the edge! Plus, if it gets him to take the medication, then everyone will be

  15. ADHD Student on Rampage

    BeckyESRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I agree with everyone above. Just wanted to add that maybe on a less animalistic day, you could offer incentives for taking his medication. I've used marshmallows, M&Ms, and go-gurt as incentives...

  16. Inane scripting

    BeckyESRN replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I HATE the "how may I serve you", I'm not here to serve you, I'm here to provide care for you. There is a BIG

  17. new cool sayings

    BeckyESRN replied to palli's topic in School

    "New rule: No talking!" ~Hank, Finding

  18. smelly kid

    BeckyESRN replied to vikivail26's topic in School

    Rocephin definitely smells like cat

  19. smelly kid

    BeckyESRN replied to vikivail26's topic in School

    At my school, this would be a guidance issue, not a nursing one. But, I wouldn't call without a plan to suggest. Maybe it's that you keep clothes at school and the student changes at school, maybe...

  20. No IEPs?!?

    BeckyESRN replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I just fill out a simple google doc. for IEP and special ed. reviews- it's vision, hearing, mobility, known conditions, known medications, and any previously reported

  21. A little chuckle.

    BeckyESRN replied to Cattz's topic in School

    This kid has his/her priorities

  22. No IEPs?!?

    BeckyESRN replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Well, that sounds

  23. It's ok to look at their....

    BeckyESRN replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    I also think, as someone said before, the expectation is different in a school setting. You fully expect your child to have to remove clothing and have a hands on exam at a doctor's office or in the...

  24. Splinters

    BeckyESRN replied to ksouth's topic in School

    I've "removed" more invisible splinters this week than I care to think about. It's psychic surgery in the nurse's office! As for real splinters, I removed them with tweezers or splinter out if I can,...

  25. The inevitable: Blood draws

    BeckyESRN replied to SapphireKitten's topic in General Nursing

    I was fine with the idea of drawing blood until the first time I drew on an actual human person. No dummy arm can prepare you for the fact that the tubes are warm when they are full and that freaked...
