  1. Your favorite extracurriculars?

    SchoolNurse91 replied to guest464345's topic in School

    Of course. I am really flattered that they think we are all knowing. I can't tell you how many times I get a call to see if something is broken as well. Unless there is a bone popping through the...

  2. Parent Pick-Up of Sick Kiddo

    SchoolNurse91 replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I don't think it's always so cut and dry. I stepped out of school nursing for two years. I worked in the hospital. If the school called, I couldn't just up and leave. My son had a babysitter, but she...

  3. Your favorite extracurriculars?

    SchoolNurse91 replied to guest464345's topic in School

  5. "Can you do something about this?"

    SchoolNurse91 replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    I had a teacher ask me to speak to a student with bad body odor. I couldn't smell anything, but I spoke with him anyway. He states he showers daily, wears clean clothes, has running water etc. He...

    SchoolNurse91 replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

  9. How do you get a sub?

    SchoolNurse91 replied to Jenniferocious's topic in School

    We don't have subs. I'm the only RN in the district. We do have two LPNs. If any of us are sick, we're sick... no cover. I still answer my phone when I am off sick... I wonder what would happen if I...

  14. FERPA violation?

    SchoolNurse91 replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    My teachers are not doing this. The principal is upset because I said I wouldn't send a list. We've had numerous incidents where a student had a seizure, asthma attack etc and the teacher says, "No...

  15. FERPA violation?

    SchoolNurse91 replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

  17. FERPA violation?

    SchoolNurse91 replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    The principal has addressed the issue. Teachers still are not doing it. That doesn't address support staff that do not have access to e-school. I do not get Health History forms until the day school...

  18. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    SchoolNurse91 replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

  20. Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    SchoolNurse91 replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Gotta love it. People walk in and out of my office all day long. They open the door, see me in the office and say "I'm sorry" and proceed to walk through my office. All.Day.Every.Day. I couldn't...

  22. Parent Pick-Up of Sick Kiddo

    SchoolNurse91 replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    My biggest issue working in a low-income area is not being able to reach parents. I would say 80% of the time I call, the number is disconnected. If they do answers, they have no way to get to the...

  23. Parent Pick-Up of Sick Kiddo

    SchoolNurse91 replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    98% of our students qualify for free/reduced meals. I wonder how different it would be working in a more affluent area. I love my kiddos, though
