    C'Mon Now!

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    High schoolers are using power tools. And by "power tools" I mean table saws.... Also, one of our PE teachers is pulling out a tractor tire for their WOD today... Can I send myself home sick? Is that...

    Peanut allergy issue

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    DILLY DILLY!! Like the others have said, there is no way to guarantee a peanut free campus. All we can control are the actions that physically happen in the school where we can help minimize their...

    Anyone Else have to Sub in classrooms??

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to rnknsn's topic in School

    Oh gosh. This sounds awful. I'm not teacher material either and this gives me all kinds of anxiety! Who do they expect to watch your clinic while you're being a teacher? Med passes? Emergencies? Not...

    advancing as a school nurse

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to tiny_divaa's topic in School

    I've toyed with getting my masters. Since my school is chartered through a local university, I'm technically a university employee, so my tuition would be free. It makes sense to go as far as I can if...

    Uh, what?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN posted a topic in School

    **Admins, no Facebook please** Morning all! Just trying to make sense of a conversation. Last night I received a message on FB from one of my teachers asking about a student's health history. Turns...

    Uh, what?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    We were FB "friends" (acquaintances is probably more accurate) to begin with, however, the only thing that had ever been sent via messenger was when she sent me info on restaurants giving treats away...

    Welcome to the longest, fastest time of your life!! It'll feel like its taking forever and then suddenly the semester will be over and you'll wonder where the time went! You got this and we're all...

    Sending home for suspected conjunctivitis?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I typically send home for it. But that's usually because when I call home and say "Hi Mr. Mom, I have little Johnny in my office and his eye looks pretty red and irritated...." they're saying their on...

    Head Padding

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    What about those foam mat tiles? The ones that connect to each other? I know they can get kind of pricey, but you get several in a package so it might be worth the money if you get how many you need...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I have too! It never fails that I always end up with casualties and I wish there was more I could do to help soothe it besides just the cool water

    Carmex?! Cool beans. I'll have to give that a try! Thanks

    Yep! That's what we did. I was hoping some of you seasoned friends had some cool, non-medicinal tricks! Thanks

    Salt water rinses

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I've considered the salt water rinse for that reason too but have never actually done it...may try it next time! For today, I'm using plain old table salt in a 1/2 tsp salt to 1 cup water ratio. I may...

    Salt water rinses

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Hahaha love the reference! I haven't really had a reason to do them either (most of my sore throat complaints just want the peppermints on my desk!) but I do have a finger that could benefit from a...

    A little off topic...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    I'm gonna call this one "a self correcting career choice". Either they'll embrace the suck and just accept that stuff will get on them (and opt for the comfy shoes over the waterproof ones) or they'll...

    Anyone else have to fly solo

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to ABRN2012's topic in School

    I'm the only one for my district as well, no aides. We have 3 campuses in 3 different cities. My "home" campus is 1 hour away from each of my other campuses in opposite directions. I do not travel to...

    Med admin window

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I like this OD. Thanks for the help! Honestly, it would be better for her to just do it so she can adjust it whenever she feels she needs to and then its not on me. I have a feeling it'll get to that...
