    No subs and I'm sick!

    One of the problems is that it's hard to expect people who sub to be waiting for that call that usually never comes. You need to have available hours to build a solid pool. I think districts that have...

    Common Cold

    I sit with the kids and review things they can do to support their body's fight against the cold virus. My party line to teachers is "if parents decide to send the kids in, we don't exclude for cold...

    OK, I assumed . . .

    Do you think the documented/diagnosed concussions were mostly the real deal, or do you think practitioners might over diagnose to cover their

    Need Opinions!

    Maybe emailing the parent? (with their okay) Since you're already writing a note, if you write it electronically, the parent will get it in closer to real

    HOW CAN I COMPETE??

    BSN and RN to BSN programs are different, so you're not competing for slots. If you're talking about competing for jobs, most RNs completing their BSNs are already

    Best Pediatric Review?

    Hi all. I've been a school nurse for a few years and passed the NSNC exam. However, in the many nursing years before that, I never worked peds. I'd like an overall "brush up." What do you thing are...

    Best Pediatric Review?

    Thanks for your response. Having never worked peds, I think I might have trouble landing per diem work doing that. On top of that, I would never supplement a nursing job with...nursing. I'd probably...

    Got fired for a medication error

    Please don't take this wrongly, but look at the number of typos in your post. I thought, "If this nurse doesn't do the minimum to check his/her writing before putting it out to the public, does this...

    What should I get a Masters in... and where?

    I'm with you about an MSN- unless I was going advanced practice, I wouldn't touch that B.S. with a ten-foot pole. Have you considered Health Education? I am, but I'm getting a grad certificate first,...

    School taken for granted

    All kidding aside, do people sometimes get discouraged about how much the educational opportunities in our country are taken for granted? In some places, kids take their lives in their hands just...

    Your hateful snow-phobic speech offends me. Winter deserves respect

    Toxic floor morale

    Yes. I gather that in Florida workers have no rights whatsoever, but this type of privacy breach must flout federal labors laws. It's worth

    E-mail for teachers!

    I've begun to lose it. I told a 5th grader that I left my want at Hogwarts and can most assuredly not cure the common cold. Another child showed up while I was dealing with actually sick kids and...

    School parents suck...

    Mostly my problem is benign neglect. It's February, and I still haven't received some of the yearly emergency info/health permission forms. (I've sent them out about 5 times, and in two cases, handed...

    Staff Development Coordinator

    Don't do it! They will use you and abuse you, and even if they don't, you need much more experience to do a job like that well. (And yes, some of the comments were very

    Kids say the darnest things....

    I keep a clapboard (the thing they use in movies to start scenes) and hit it saying "good manners take two" when they're disrespectful. (It also involves leaving the room and coming back in for a...
