Same!! I was adamant on being a school nurse all through nursing school and my friends always said "but...school nurses don't make any money!". Since I was a SAHM, aside from nursing school, my...

This came at a great time in my morning! I needed this giggle! Walked in to a kiddo and their parent waiting for me so I could look at the kid's finger that was slammed in a car door last night. They...

Had an office helper bust into my office while I'm chatting with a student about their knee that has been hurting for 2 days now: OH: What did he say was hurting? Student and I: *look at each other...

You're welcome! Also, I just re-read this and it sounded a little "short"! Totally not my intention. Hopefully the parents will understand and get you what you need

I do what the other above have said, as well. I'll also add that sometimes hunger can present as pain and they don't realize what they're feeling is actually hunger pains. When I've had them try going...

This family is unknown to me, actually. I've been talking with my admin assistant to see if we could gather more info for this reason though. My state does have Medicaid. We also have CHIP

I think MrNurse is saying IF you get another school nurse position, try following this forum as we offer a lot of advice and guidance. I don't think he was trying to insinuate you are to blame. Just...
