Hi again to all of you smart peeps! I have a middle school diabetic that has consistently high sugars. He usually is running in the high 300's. Most of the time he has moderate-large ketones. He has...
I will be sending all reports myself. I have been educating him each day. He still will guess on carbs, when I want him to look it up on an app we downloaded to his phone. We talked about serving...
This kid is not newly diagnosed either. I was thinking about waiting until after his appointment and giving new dosing a try. However I'm starting to question if he isn't actually giving himself the...
I have had to call the doc several times. They have "call provider for ketones".. It also says contact parents but student and family spit out a variety of numbers. The nurse was actually getting...

I think this is very common for new nurses. I started out in a high risk OB, and I had no confidence when orientation was over. I was sick going in every shift. It took longer for me to become...
I am so sorry that you have to endure this!! I don't necessarily feel you need to stay until the year mark. Especially if you will be leaving the area, would you be moving? Moving would be self...
Farawyn-Are you leaving this year? What will you do next? I'm still in daily conflict on my plan to stay or go...."should I stay or should I go now..." (with musical
If they text parents and parents come prior to me seeing a student it is a parent request absence. Of course this is my first year. I have parents say, I am pulling them out regardless. I just say I...
Middle school starts at 8:45 and kids are dropped by 8 most days and are waiting for me. When they start in with "I'm not feel...." I say go call your parents, school doesn't start for another half...
Hi all- I am newer to this site and I am loving the feedback. I am currently a school nurse and always looking for great places. I have done L/D, community education in perinatal education, Pre-Op...
It sounds like they NEED nurses on L/D! You are probably a great worker and they see on opportunity to suck you in. It's so chaotic I would be Leary. But ask some questions on how they staff. Ask if...
I am thinking if I leave school nursing (which is what I'm leaning toward) I will make it about my family. Maybe when my kids go to college school nursing will be a better fit. I mean we won't have...
I also feel like I could have written this post! I had recently wrote my own post about how much I am struggling as a school nurse. I too do not like working 5 days a week. Yes the holidays off ect...
I was thinking today maybe elementary would maybe be better for me. I NEVER thought I would want to be around the little kids, so I thought middle school would work. But maybe I should try something...
Oh and I have NO intention of leaving before this school year is completed. I am just anticipating contracts coming out soon and not knowing what to do. I don't want to wait too far into summer break...
If I did come back for another year of school nursing, do you feel hospitals will think I've been out of that pace for too long? Will I be of any interest to
I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I do like caring for the kids that really need me in my office. I have a homeless student that I see daily and I have gotten involved at getting her...
