    First case of flu

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I like both of y'all's responses. I'll be drafting a policy within the next few days for sure because last year we had a big issue with parents sending kids back too soon. Thanks

    C'Mon Now!

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Was informed that 2 different people (1 teacher, 1 office personnel) were looking in a student's ear with my otoscope last week while I was on another campus. Which explains why said student was 100%...

    C'Mon Now!

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    We have a new admin assistant on one of my campuses. She's nice, but she's a "laugher". She laughs with EVERYTHING she says. Even if it's not a funny thing (like simply asking a question about the...

    Do you ever NOT give out ice packs?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN posted a topic in School

    I feel like I'm becoming some sort of icepack Nazi! I have literally gotten so low on icepacks that I'm now hoarding the few I still have for those instances where ice is NECESSARY and not just wanted...

    Hello all. I received word today that one of my 1st graders is currently in the hospital for ketoacidosis. As you can expect, a brand new diagnosis of Type 1 has been given as well. My district is...

    I might have asked this before but not sure

    KeeperOfTheIceRN posted a topic in School

    I'm currently tallying up my numbers for our H/V/S screenings to submit to the State. I have a lot of "referred, no response". Curious to know how you go about your referrals? I send home an initial...

    Elevated BP

    KeeperOfTheIceRN posted a topic in School

    First occurrence here. Had a student come in asking to have their BP checked as they had told their mom they felt a little shakey and had a "very slight" headache. Per mom's request, they came to me...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to nmr79's topic in School

    Y'all. I have to brag on some of the local districts around my area. Including our Regional Education Service Center. They have all been making a big deal of nurse's week! Granted, I don't know if...

    Happy Nurses' Week, my loves!

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I'm usually included in the Teacher Appreciation Week (PTO usually gets me the same goodies as they do the teachers) but today I walked in to a big gift basket full of goodies and gift cards, a giant...

    Elevated BP

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I really feel they are just that bad for you. But that also doesn't mean this student can't have an underlying issue either. So, they'll be on my radar from now on and if/when they come see me again,...

    Elevated BP

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    THEY LITERALLY JUST ADMITTED TO DRINKING ONE EARLIER TODAY!!!! Good thought!!! I didn't even go that route as their HR was normal but it will definitely be on my list 'o questions from now on. We had...

    Elevated BP

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Those were my same questions as well. Student said they didn't feel anxious or nervous about anything. Student doesn't take any meds. They were going to lunch so I made sure they had enough food/drink...

    C'Mon Now!

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    This is exactly what I told the mom too! I don't care if they come in bouncing off the walls and laughing with their friends. If they tell me they feel they need it, they get it and my assessment...

    C'Mon Now!

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Just got off the phone with a parent of one of my asthmatic kinders. Found out the teacher didn't send them down to me to use their inhaler because "they weren't coughing. It's been my experience with...

    You know, I have no idea! He hadn't shown up by the time it was time for me to leave for the day, so we sent LD to the afterschool program. I called mom and let her know about the convo I had with dad...

    HIPAA Question

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to easttnnurse1's topic in School

    Oooook. This does not sound like a HIPAA violation to me either. Unfortunately, the general public is not bound by HIPAA. Not to mention, unless your school receives funding from the government for...

    HIPAA Question

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to easttnnurse1's topic in School

    Let me see if I'm understanding correctly: Student has episode at school. Mom then posts diagnosis on social media. People from the public then send you screenshots of said social media post with...
