    Diabetic BS question

    Jedrnurse replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    I just went to a school nurse seminar at the Joslin Diabetes Center. They said that (roughly) 1 gram of carbs raises the sugar 3 "points", so a 15 gram snack would raise the blood glucose a ballpark...

    Does your policy have "teeth"

    Jedrnurse replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    If kids just show up post (fill in the blank) in spite of policy, no we don't send them home. On a slightly different but related note, I strongly disagree with being pigeon-holed re: the vomiting...

    Wrap it up?

    Jedrnurse replied to Flare's topic in School

    I have to confess, when I saw the title of this thread, my first thought was of a high school sex ed class during which they discussed "wrapping it up." Imagine my surprise when I read beyond the...

    Student's hygiene?

    Jedrnurse replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

    Seriously, this can be a very awkward problem, and end up giving the kid a rep that follows them for years. What I've done in the past is worked individually with the student on a "project" called the...

    This is not why I became a nurse

    Jedrnurse replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    Had my first "silly putty stuck in the hair" situation- also not covered in nursing school. Many thanks to the great god Google, though. A generous amount of cooking oil from my kitchen staff worked...

    How do you sign your credentials?

    Jedrnurse replied to heather717's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What is wrong with parents?

    Jedrnurse replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    What is wrong with parents? Unfortunately, there is absolutely no link between fertility and parental competence. (Although sometimes it does seems that the more horrible wreck of a parent you are,...

    Parents who can't/won't pick up kids

    Jedrnurse replied to mc3's topic in School

    Sort of a related behavior. My building opens up early (about 6:15AM) and the kids enter at about 7:10. The other day I got to school (at 6:30) and saw a 3rd grader standing around the lobby....

    middle school/intermediate

    Jedrnurse replied to txbootsy's topic in School

    Tough age group. They start to lose the absolute cuteness of elementary school kiddos, the attitude increases, and they don't have the higher reasoning that high schoolers (should)
