    BeckyESRN replied to shark_nurse14's topic in School

    In my district, I can't let my teachers give students' meds. Teachers may carry/administer EpiPens only if they've been certified-3 of 25 were willing to do the 30minute training. So if there are any...

    BeckyESRN replied to 8130's topic in General Nursing

  12. x-ray eyes weren't working

    BeckyESRN replied to schoolnurse2015's topic in School

    BeckyESRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Speak with the doctor or the child's diabetic educator. I had a very similar situation last year and the meal plans that mom was turing in to the diabetic educator was WAY different than what the...

    BeckyESRN replied to FreckledCoffeeRN's topic in School

    The kinders and 1st graders tend to use nurse, my nurse, doctor, vet, hospital person, or "student's name" mom. The rest of kids call me either Nurse last name or Mrs. Last name(which still seems...

    BeckyESRN replied to Supernrse01's topic in School
