    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Student rotations in the Health Office

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Mine aren't either :/ therefore they do not do the actual screenings themselves. I typically have 4 at a time so I send 2 to pull kiddos from classes and 2 are in the screening room with me. We...

    Advice needed

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Gertiegirl's topic in School

    I would definitely be contacting someone. Whether it's your BON, the Board of Education, or even both. The school/district is doing nothing but setting themselves, and the MA they hire, up for failure...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    Agreed!! No way would I do it either. Good grief! Plus....as an adult himself...why couldn't HE administer the drops HIMSELF? I don't see why he needed to get another person involved in

    Not my problem!

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Not my circus, not my monkeys. I've never been sent a kiddo for discipline. That's not why I'm here. Plus, my office is waaaaaaay too small for any of that mess. Me and 1 student I'm assessing barely...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School
