    Quick temp check (unless they're a FF then its a quick talk), drink of water, and back to class they go. My 2 satellite campuses have a tougher student body than my home campus

    High schooler with narcolepsy accidentally took his nighttime med at 0500 (apparently thought the wake up alarm was the med alarm) instead of 2330 like he's supposed to. Mom sent him to school with a...

    So what I was told was they are wanting to get 2 part time aides to assist with med passes and any kids who *might* end up with some extra care (i.e.: assist my 1 T1D when they are high or low). They...

    Do you ever miss bedside?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to JLA's topic in School

    I was a new nurse as well when I took my school job. I stayed on at the hospital PRN for about 6 months just to keep a little extra money rolling in as I took a MASSIVE pay cut. But I have never...

    How to help coughing student?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to sydcarverrn's topic in School

    I give peppermints. I explain it to the kids that their throats are irritated, much like when their lips get chapped, and the peppermints offer a barrier that usually stifles the coughing for a bit as...

    Thanks for you response, Dimple! I appreciate the info you shared! I am actually pretty comfortable with the trainings that are required for each of the new laws. I've already completed my STB...

    What is your late pick up policy?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    If they're unable to attend our after-school program (due to unpaid dues), it becomes an abandonment issue and the police are called after a certain time frame. We release at 2:15, so I think by...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to EnoughWithTheIce's topic in School

    This is probably the best thing I've heard today! I personally would love to roller skate across my campus. Could you imagine the time I would save?! I'm honestly not opposed to the roller skates (one...

    Teachers seem to be getting "ballsy" lately. I had one all but refuse a student back to her room last week after I said I WASN'T calling home as the kiddo wasn't showing any s/s of illness. Kiddo said...
