    Help? Guidance? Suggestions?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    We have told her that since before school started when we found out about this kiddo. She just kept telling us they didn't need a 1:1 nurse and that she would get documentation stating that. We have...

    Therapeutic communication for anxiety

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    I ask them if they want to go outside for a little while. Mental health is not my strong suit by any means, but I'm a huge fan of getting them outside when they reach this point. Especially with the...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    I walked into a kiddo sitting in my office before announcements had even been made...I was grumpy from dealing with a difficult parent the ENTIRE day before too. Imagine my absolute shock and...

    I'm tired!

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Avill's topic in School

    Tired of being "the bad guy"...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to caretakerofkids's topic in School

    Yes, and honestly, my admin is extremely supportive and has had no problems discussing things with the teachers. I'm just so tired of them doing their own thing "when no one is around". I move around...

    Tired of being "the bad guy"...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to caretakerofkids's topic in School

    One of my kinder kiddos called me a "Mask Monster" last week and originally, I laughed. Today, I'm feeling like a "mask monster" because it seems like everyone dreads when I walk in the room. I also...

    All of your "typical" school nurse duties ? I maintain all health records, perform all State mandated screenings, provide training to staff for various topics, handle all office visits (when on...

    Thoughts??

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Yes, it's definitely something that has been on my radar for a while. But with it just being me, myself, and I for my entire district, I just haven't had the time to really sit down and get it all...

    Thoughts??

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Goodness! I didn't even think to check their BP but will definitely add that in the event something like this occurs again. I don't know about anyone else, but this week has been nothing but office...

    Staying or Going?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to BooBooCrew's topic in School

    I'm returning, no doubts. I'm hoping they approve my request for a raise (we hired 2 new nurses this year which makes me a supervisor) but will be happy to return if they don't. I legitimately love my...

    Do you keep medications for school staff?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to ajessrn's topic in School

    I don't keep them for staff. I have my own supply and will occasionally share, but I don't have a problem saying "sorry, I'm out" with a full bottle (that I bought with my own money) sitting in my...

    Second guessing myself

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Thank you all for your comments!! I feel a little better knowing you all would have done the same thing. I did ask the student if they wanted me to leave the boot on and they said no. However, that...

    Faculty Falls/Injuries

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    If I'm present when the fall occurs, I assess, call EMS if needed, fill out the incident report, recommend MD follow up, and then report the fall to principal and super. They usually take it from...

    Faculty Falls/Injuries

    Hi all! I just found out about a fall that occurred early this morning on a campus that I am not housed at. Because of this, I did not assess the teacher after their fall. The principal filled...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    Another Texas nurse here, and while I can't offer any better guidance than Ruby did, I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one who struggles finding specific guidance via the BON!! There have been...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to noneYet's topic in School
