    Annoyed and perhaps a little unsure

    KeeperOfTheIceRN posted a topic in School

    Hey all. I'm looking for some reassurance. Had a first grader get sent to my office yesterday after walking under the monkey bars and subsequently catching a shoe to the face by the other kiddo...

    What are your procedures?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN posted a topic in School

    Hello all! I'm currently looking over my protocols for various things and feel like some updates are needed. Especially for my "missing medication" protocol. As it stands, I'm just supposed to notify...

    What are your procedures?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    What are your procedures?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I agree 100% that it definitely shouldn't go missing! We count regularly as well and there are only 2 keys to my med cabinet. 1 I keep on me at all times (I even take it home at the end of the day)...

    How many diabetics do you have?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to CanIcallmymom's topic in School

    Haha we're super small! Only about 700 district wide. I had 1 T1 a couple of years ago, but he decided to switch schools. We just haven't had any others enroll!

    Orienting/Onboarding

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Meekie J.'s topic in School

    I actually had a 2 week period with the previous nurse before she left. TONS of focus on health screenings as that's what she was in the middle of when I started. Brief discussion on our charting...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I can appreciate your position on this, and you're very right, head and/or eye injuries are very serious. Especially, when you're trying to triage over the phone and you cannot see your patient....

    Got a repeat offender...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Yes, I've talked to his teacher. Bullying isn't on the radar at the moment as this student struggling academically and his teacher and I both feel things are related to that. Per the teacher, his...

    I have a 3rd grader who has consistently been in my office about once every month/every other month, complaining of a stomach ache that leads to vomiting in the bathroom. Never a fever. Rarely a...

    Got a repeat offender...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I have multiple kids who will spit essentially a lougie out and they call it vomit and my teachers panic. I also have a few students who are able to produce regurgitated food on command. For example,...

    Most creative ideas you've had as a SN?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to nurselife13's topic in School

    I love all of these ideas! Especially the tooth wall because it is a badge of honor (especially for my kinders) to get that tooth necklace. Their name on a tooth wall would just be a cherry on top!...

    It was my plan to call had he returned to my office. With my little guys this year, they all are VERY persistent if they have something that is bothering them (including this one, as this definitely...

    Thank you everyone for the encouragement!! I hate when I second guess myself!! Yes, it was all documented. I didn't enter it in until this morning though, but I had made notes for myself because I had...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Oh, dad definitely received a call today about all of these visits and I made sure to let him know that I feel it is more related to behavior as opposed to an illness. The dad was very understanding...

    In what scenario is it a good idea to have a first grader wear contacts? I wouldn't even get my 9 year old 4th grader

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Exactly! This same teacher wanted me to call a parent once to remind them that their kiddo that was sent home for fever couldn't return the next day because "this parent is just one of those that will...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Right?! When I told her no she said "ok, I'll give her a call then". I gave her a thumbs up and said "you do you!" That is a conversation that I do NOT want to be involved
