  1. Implementing new programs

    SaltineQueen replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    Ummm...first... Holy cow! That's a lot of kids a day for your size school! Second, seems like you're doing a fantastic job already. One thing I do is "Tasting Tables." Every other month or so, or...

  3. Pittsburg in the news

    SaltineQueen replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    I read that today, too. I wondered if she didn't have an active order, why not just call 911? And then I thanked my lucky stars that we have orders for emergency

  4. Molluscum Contagiosum

    SaltineQueen replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    Molluscum isn't on Indiana's list of diseases we can exclude for. I don't even know if most docs around here would Rx an antiviral. When I worked for a dermatologist, with the exception of severe...

    SaltineQueen replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Luckily this has a happy ending, for now. We covered the student for a couple days and mom came through with lunch money. I'm sure we'll face it again at some point. There's got to be a better...

  9. Uncontrolled asthma, parents won't pick up- what to do?

    SaltineQueen replied to great_lakes_expat's topic in School

    Even so, I've never had an office willing to talk to me without an ROI.

    SaltineQueen replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Some clarifications: Our bookkeeper sends home daily notices when a student gets close to or is negative. She also makes phone calls to families we know may not ne reliable with checking folders....

  14. CPS/Child Abuse Protocol

    SaltineQueen replied to mslove's topic in School

    New law in my state is that whomever suspects the abuse is the one to make the call. Then it is reported to the principal. It used to be that you could talk to the principal & they could decide...

    SaltineQueen replied to OldDude's topic in School

    Glad you're well OD! Do you know if there are any schools, elementary specifically, that may be worse off than others? I have a bunch of backpacks with school supplies that I'd like to send to a...

  18. Kindergarten physical

    SaltineQueen replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I have no problem doing it. I have time, most days, for a good project. We only have around 275 kiddos & very few medical concerns. There doesn't appear to be a standard. High school...

    SaltineQueen posted a topic in School

    I am updating our K physical form. Would you be willing to share yours?

  20. Anatomy and physiology notes

    SaltineQueen replied to shak95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Really? How, exactly, has A&P changed over the years? Are there new organ systems we didn't learn? In my school, A&P was the "weed them out" class. Maybe that's what's happening here....

  22. Help with Type 1 diabetes

    SaltineQueen replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    In my state, the principal is responsible for finding someone willing to be a "volunteer health aid" to cover diabetics in the nurse's absence. It's written into the state law/code concerning care of...

  23. Eclipse concerns

    SaltineQueen posted a topic in School

    The majority of my K-3 kiddos will be on the bus home when the eclipse peaks in our area. We are at about 85% totality. We can tell kids till we're blue in the face to not look at it, but we all...

    SaltineQueen replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We don't require physicals. Not even for kindergarten.
