    Encopresis KG age

    halohg replied to halohg's topic in School

    Thank you, yes I am aware of the last resource. Mom has not shared, she is umm...challenging in many aspects. As far as the HIPAA privacy rule, that is interesting and would love this as a separate...

    Encopresis KG age

    halohg replied to halohg's topic in School

    No, he does not realize it is happening and question 2: Mom is expressing a desire to not use diapers or pulls ups. I’m thinking a ‘pad’ would expedite the changing

    Frequent Flyers

    halohg replied to alligatoRN's topic in School

    Which grades are we speaking of here? Who is permitting these students to come to you? If you do not have a pass system from teachers...implement one. If a student presents without a pass send them...

    halohg replied to ChristmasNurse's topic in School

    not sure what age group you are tending to, but know when a child says they have chest pains its way different than a hospital assessment and most times they do not even point to their chest. It is a...

    Had to give Epi Today!

    halohg replied to linda1959's topic in School

    Not only did not wait to long but by sharing this story you have better prepared the next school nurse facing a similar situation who is feeling very alone. Sharing these experiences makes all better,...

    Use of nurse's office

    halohg replied to Rsrfrn's topic in School

    It would have absolutely been the right thing to do to discuss this ahead of time. The principal is the keeper of the house and all the offices are his/hers, you are in their space not the other way...

    Parental difficulties. . .

    Cyclical Vomiting vs stomach bug????

    halohg replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    I would suggest the doctor that wrote the order for Zofran also write that the student may remain in school after vomiting episode in absence of fever. That will trump your school policy. Mom will...

    Mom takes forever to pickup

    halohg replied to stephrooth's topic in School

    Well on the way may mean an hour away, maybe they work by train, or are that far. I would ask for clarity on that if that was the reply... "so on your way, I can expect you within 15 minutes?" If they...

    Mom takes forever to pickup

    halohg replied to stephrooth's topic in School

    If they are well enough to go back to class I would not be sending them home. If I assess they need to go home then they must wait in the health office and reduce the risk of others becoming ill. Be...

    This really happened.

    halohg replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    This teacher needs to be counseled by the administration. I would not expect anything less than that she be written up. That is extremely poor judgement on so many

    911 call

    halohg replied to waxynurse3's topic in School

    25 years of experience, I would have done the same. And you also did the right thing to discuss the experience here, it's hard in a solo position to not have the opportunity to decompress and review....
