    Medication errors...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN posted a topic in School

    Hello all. How do you go about handling medication errors in your school? Since I travel between multiple campuses, I'm not on my main campus all of the time. When I'm not here, the administrative...

    This is exactly what I told my husband when I got home!!! Fingers crossed that I'm bumped up to full time next year and can be hands one with the meds WAY more than I have been the last year I've...

    Another head lice; I want to help this child

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to basketball13's topic in School

    How old is the student? Do you think she is old enough to help in her own treatment? As unfortunate as that may sound, if she is capable of using the comb herself at night and then maybe even washing...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN posted a topic in School

    Have any of y'all had a STUDENT refuse to have their spinal screening done? I've had multiple (approximately 4,) this year who refused to remove their shirts to have their spinal screening done and I...

    1st day questions

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to WineRN's topic in School

    I agree with all of these responses as well. Except, I will take home my hearing/vision/spinal screenings and enter them in on my own time for a few reasons: 1) I'm only part-time and can only stay...

    Spinal Screening refusal

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Thanks everyone for your input! I too send out an FYI email letting parents know what I'm doing, when I'm doing it, WHY I'm doing it, and what my findings mean. I also suggest to have their kids, male...

    Florida students self carrying own otcs

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Flare's topic in School

    I, too, feel it is a bad idea. However, if this is what Florida has decided to do, hopefully they'll initiate an education topic during orientation where they can go over the rules and the proper...

    Spinal Screening refusal

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    That's a good idea. I suppose I need to get used to doing what I CAN in the WAYS that I can as opposed to trying to do them the IDEAL way. I'm still trying to get things figured out As far as the...

    How much orientation??

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to RNBSNon12/13/14's topic in School

    Official orientation? None. I did however get about 2 weeks (but only part time so more like 6, 4 hour days, total) with the previous nurse. She was in the middle of hearing/vision/spinal screenings...

    What was your very first Nursing Job?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    IMC/Step-down unit. 15 bed unit. 7a-7p. My 12 hour days were ALWAYS at least 13-14 hours. But it wasn't uncommon for them to be longer on those "rough days". I practically lived at the hospital! We...

    What to wear?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Duncan6's topic in School

    I have an aversion to the patterned tops as well. Except I avoid them because a lot of daycares in my area have their staff wear scrubs and they all go with the patterns. I now associate the patterned...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I don't typically correct unless it's something off the charts with absolute ridiculousness. Such as telling a 3rd grade student the sticker burr that they had in their leg after falling in the grass...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    Were the rec camps you worked at an overnight kind of deal? That makes a very big difference as opposed to a school nurse who is only with the child for x amount of hours a day. When you go to the...
