    CBD administration in schools - thoughts?

    beachynurse replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I haven't seen any yet, at least legally lol, but it's good to know that we are protected if it should ever be prescribed to a

    AM meds at school

    beachynurse replied to NurseMMJ's topic in School

    I will rarely accept medication that is admninistered once a day. I think I've only done it twice in 15 years. At what point are we taking over parental responsibility? Also, being in a high school,...

    Annoyed and perhaps a little unsure

    beachynurse replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I used to do telephone triage too,and it is so different when the child is right in front of you. Our protocol is for the student to stay in the clinic for about 30 minutes after the injury. Most of...

    Annoyed and perhaps a little unsure

    beachynurse replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Sigh, I'm in a high school and have to call for practically every nick and scrape. Parents today seem to look for something to complain about no matter what the age. Parents complain about everything...

    Does anyone else get emotionally exhausted from this job?

    beachynurse replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    I wish there was. Our Principal doesn't want to be involved with anything, but he's leaving, so I am hoping that his replacement shows some respect towards the clinic and our

    RACISM IN NURSING

    beachynurse replied to dddubbu's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not trying to be difficult, but can't your brother handle this himself? It's his job, his issue? I agree that both of them should be fired for doing something so disgusting, but I just don't think...

    New chapter in life

    beachynurse replied to charliekins's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, no one should be berating anyone here. I'm actually jealous of your system. I think we could actually have a good single payer system here if only we could keep our politicians out of

    Does anyone else get emotionally exhausted from this job?

    beachynurse replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    Unfortunately, she is my manager. Our nurse manager is an indirect supervisor that has no say about anything that goes on in the schools. She just directs thge program, that's it. I am just over her....

    Does anyone else get emotionally exhausted from this job?

    beachynurse replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    She doesn't want to hear that. When I tell her that she rolls her eyes and tells me how difficult I am. I can't stand it that she just barges into my office and will interrupt wheatever I'm doing to...

    Does anyone else get emotionally exhausted from this job?

    beachynurse replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    I totally get you. I am in a large high school, about 2100 students. I don't have a lot of poverty, it's a more affluent area, but the juggling that I have to do in order to keep the parents happy,...

    Student sues Health Dept. (2nd verse, same as the first)

    beachynurse replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I think that the Religious Exemption forms are too loose. Just having it notarized should not be enough. I think that the exemtion should also be accompanied by something from the place of worship on...

    I just told a parent

    beachynurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Sigh, I'm so jealous.. I wish I could say that. The parents in my HIGH school would just flip out, call the administrator and then I would be told not to piss off the parents... These kids get to go...

    Medical documentation system not HIPPA compliant

    beachynurse replied to RNTadaaaa's topic in School

    The issue is that schools do not have to be HIPPA compliant, we have to be FERPA compliant. This is why we run into issues with MD offices, we have differeing sets of privacy rules. It is not an issue...

    The Right to Die with Dignity- MD assisted suicide

    beachynurse replied to SL2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I watched it and thought it was extremely well done. I am an advocate of the right to die, and feel that we have the freedom to choose how we live, why can't we have the freedom to choose how we die?...

    MD orders to discontinue...?

    beachynurse replied to k1p1ssk's topic in School

    Since we have to have an MD order for every medication, that's not an issue for me. Any change in dosage or medication would need a new order, so if Mom tells me that they are stopping meds, I am ok...

    Will I get in trouble?

    beachynurse replied to Mousyrn's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I am simply floored... I cannot believe that an RN would even contemplate checking a medical record without consent or being part of the medical team. The lack of professionalism that this...

    School Title

    beachynurse replied to Keeperofbandages's topic in School

    I prefer to go by Ms. first name. I think it's less intimidating for the kids, and it reminds me less of my former mother in law... lol. Should have changed my name when I got divorced and it was...

    Typical schedule.

    beachynurse replied to BostonNurseNic's topic in School

    I work in a public high school My hours are 7:10- 2:30. Class hours are 7:20 to 2:10. I love these hours. I still get to feel like I can do something in the afternoon when I get off. We have 3...

    Conflict of Interest

    beachynurse replied to Divine-LPN,BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you it's not easy in some areas. I am divorced, with a disabled adult child. I work 2 jobs, and I am looking for a third. My rent is one paycheck from my primary job, and it's not in the...

    Does your state allow you to give medication without a Health care provider order?

    beachynurse replied to RNTadaaaa's topic in School

    I actually like this. It protects us from liability and we have enough to worry about

    Does your state allow you to give medication without a Health care provider order?

    beachynurse replied to RNTadaaaa's topic in School

    We must have MD orders for any medication, including OTC meds. Our orders must match the directions on the prescription bottle or we are unable to accept both the bottle and the order util they match....

    Is this insubordination? How do I deal with this PSW?

    beachynurse replied to guest1048932's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I'm going to completely disagree with you here. I don't see the RN as having the ege, I see the PSW having an ego. It appears that she feels that with her minimal amount of training that she...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    beachynurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    How horriffic for both the nurse, and the patient's family. While I am horrified at the medication error, that's what it was. A tragic medication error that should have been utilized as a training...
