    KeeperOfTheIceRN posted a topic in School

    I've seen a couple of threads on this program and I've looked at their website, but I'm still not exactly sure I know what it is....is it a supplemental program to abstinence/sex ed programs or is it...

    Nursing nightmares.

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I always dream that I'm back on my old unit (I'm a school nurse now) and can't do anything right (i.e.: dropping EVERYTHING, misplacing meds, forgetting to "badge in" on the computer etc. etc.) I look...

    Did you replace a school nurse?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to OldDude's topic in School

    I did but she was only here for 2-3 years prior. We are a new school. I'm not sure why she left though. She was older so maybe just didn't have the patience or the drive to start a whole brand new...

    Hahaha, I like how you think Becky! But she probably wouldn't be able to hear me over her speaker phone...I mean. It's not like they make this handy little device she can connect to her phone where...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    The walls that divide our main office into individual offices are paper thin. One of my office mates makes EVERY. SINGLE. PHONE. CALL on speaker phone. You can imagine the AWESOME time the rest of us...

    Unknowingly speaking to a doc...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN posted a topic in School

    Anyone else feel like a dummy after speaking to a parent, and you spoke to them in laymen's terms, and they turned out to be an MD and you had no idea? Doc: Hi. This is Dudeman, LD's dad. I was told...

    You know, I hadn't even thought of that! Thanks JenTheSchoolRN! Its very true that that knowledge can just fly out the window when they are discussing their own kiddos!! Thanks for the positive...

    Is the flu in your school?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    It's in our school, though I've personally only sent home 2 with flu symptoms. The rest have been parents calling in to inform us that their child is sick. We did get an email yesterday informing us...

    Bathroom accidents...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    I can appreciate that. I do know as a unit, we went through an un-countable number of gloves. Especially during those "double glove" moments. I sure hope they're a little more affordable now as we...

    C'Mon Now!

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Well. We made it to January without a lice issue and it finally happened. I now get the pleasure of typing up a letter to inform all of the parents of this class about said lice. I am not, however,...

    Bathroom accidents...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    The way I see it, if it involves a bodily fluid, it's clearly a nurse thing because we deal with body fluids. Now, with that being said, I fully expected to have all the potty accidents come to me...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    30 minutes left in my day and a super sweet 8th grader comes to the office complaining of feeling nauseated. She had the tell-tell chipmunk cheeks of recent wisdom teeth removal. Stated they were...

    You know when someone is faking a hoorifice voice and they do that forced whisper thing? Yeah. Had a LD come in doing that earlier this week. She even went as far as to say it had been going on for 2...

    body odor

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to plainfieldguy's topic in School

    I actually have flyers that I made (blue for boys, pink for girls) that I print off when a teacher approaches me about this. It says things like "make sure to shower every day (focusing on armpits,...
