    SchoolNurse91 replied to jnemartin's topic in School

  4. A Question About Standing Orders

    SchoolNurse91 replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I'm sorry for all of the questions. This is my first year in charge... We had a competition located in our school district today. A student fell, hit her head. Nothing serious. Secretary calls, asks...

  9. Stolen supplies

    SchoolNurse91 replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    I agree. We are trying to figure out who took them... but I'm doubtful. The principal is angry. We've previously left my door open so the secretaries can get what they need, but now the door is...

  15. Nightmare Principals Man...

    SchoolNurse91 replied to SnowDark38's topic in School

    We have about 10 boxes of N95 masks. Why? No clue. I didn't order

  17. Credentials

    SchoolNurse91 replied to littleduckrn5's topic in School

    In my state, a school nurse is an RN that has a bachelor degree and a teaching certificate. You are not considered a school nurse without all three. I'm the only RN in district. We have two LPNs, too....

    SchoolNurse91 replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Someone did call 911. They said it wasn't an emergency and had him call the sheriff's office. They did nothing. I don't think the teacher could have done anything more. We could get charged for not...

    SchoolNurse91 replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

  23. Face masks

    SchoolNurse91 replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    We use masks now if a child has flu like symptoms and can't get a parent to come get the child quickly. It would be the same thing... except we are out of masks and I can't find

  25. Parent Pick-Up of Sick Kiddo

    SchoolNurse91 replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I'm a single mom, so I don't have the comfort of a dual income. The sad reality is a dual income is needed. It's not always greed. It's necessity. I'm almost at the point where I need two
