  1. Christmas break, when do you start yours?

    moreoreo replied to mag426's topic in School

    We are in full swing until the weekend before Christmas, off until 1/9. I hear this is a great way to do break so we don't spend a week of it stressed out preparing for the holidays. But sitting here...

  2. Mom hand

    moreoreo replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    I have one teacher who I think has cold hands because she has sent at least a dozen children down this year with "forehead is hot" passes and none of them have had even a mildly elevated temp. I...

  3. C'Mon Now!

    moreoreo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    So true -- and even after you have retrieved the student and every adult you pass starts making obligatory sympathetic sounds when 1) it is nothing or 2) you have finally just gotten the child to calm...

  4. Lice Policies

    moreoreo replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    We do not exclude for nits but we do for live lice. Classroom check and letter only if two or more confirmed cases in the same classroom in 2 weeks or less. We do recheck the day after exclusion to...

  5. C'Mon Now!

    moreoreo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Very interesting!!! My school would be flagged on the first day of school if we had that kind of management. I get a lot of "I'm ok but they said I had to come here" (AND a lot of "she's ok but she...

  6. C'Mon Now!

    moreoreo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I actually DO have recess/lunch memorized (I'm elementary) so I usually ask, "before lunch or after lunch?" but my littler ones always insist on, "when teacher was reading us the story" or "when we...

  7. C'Mon Now!

    moreoreo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Reminds me of the child who told me he was "fainting a lot" because of the wind. (Showed me a staggering backwards movement, granted this child was in kindergarten not 8th

  8. Lovable Parents

    moreoreo replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    :banghead: :banghead: How awful, but sadly I can imagine it! Most of my parents are reasonable people; I've only had a couple go off for random things in the year plus that I have been here. Some...

  9. C'Mon Now!

    moreoreo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Does anyone else get a lot of "omg, I didn't see him there and he bumped into my elbow, he says he's ok but can you please just check him??? thank you!!!" I think it's kind of sweet though also "how...

  10. Employee Health?

    moreoreo replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    This!! I am fairly impressionable and put a lot of pressure on myself to meet standards, so when I started this job, I kind of bought into this mindset and was just researching topic after topic...

  11. Fingers crossed

    moreoreo replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    So glad the outcome was not worse, and so glad he had you to help identify he needed help and further evaluation! Great

  12. C'Mon Now!

    moreoreo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I had a child walk in AT DISMISSAL TIME looking happy and well. I asked, "what's the matter?" She said, "my lips are dry." Mind you they weren't overtly chapped, irritated, or bleeding. I gave her...

  13. C'Mon Now!

    moreoreo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    OMG I have a teacher who sends several "forehead is hot" passes a week and unfortunately her accuracy is about 0%. I always write "temp is normal" but often the child by then is convinced they are...

  14. C'Mon Now!

    moreoreo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Does anyone else withhold ice sometimes when teachers write "needs an ice pack" on nurse passes? (Which almost always gets a "c'mon now!" from me. It's like the passes that say, "clean and bandaid"...

  15. What do you do when the evidence isn't there but you kind of think it will be eventually?

    moreoreo replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    I agree with others that there is a sense of how they are behaving the second they walk in (especially if it's someone who's never come in before vs. frequent flyer). Regardless of my sense I do have...

  16. My dad died yesterday

    moreoreo replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. He sounds like an amazing man and I know his goodness has been instilled with you in a way that your children (at home and at school) are surely blessed by it too....

  17. The Not So "Nursey" Things...

    moreoreo replied to HCPSRMA's topic in School

    I used the floss trick for the first time today and felt like a boss!!! Two pairs of glasses "fixed" today! One came in after falling on her face and the frame broke but was easily secured with...

  18. C'Mon Now!

    moreoreo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Monday after Thanksgiving break I have even less patience than usual for "my finger hurts. I didn't bump it. It looks normal. No it doesn't hurt when you touch it. I can move it fine" Also I may...

  19. My favorite complaint

    moreoreo replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Mine, too! Some days I just can't help but ask, "what's wrong?" as the children file in one after the other through my revolving door. When one proudly says, "I lost my tooth!" or even just holds out...

  22. Going to take that leap

    moreoreo replied to LovegelatoRN's topic in School

    Good luck!! I was blessed to get a school nurse job with just 2 years of hospital experience, no peds experience, and while I struggled through my first 1/2 year, and am making less money, I am...

  23. C'Mon Now!

    moreoreo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    5th grader comes in 15 minutes before dismissal on our early release day: "there's this bump on my gum and it's touching my skin and it bothers me." I put on a glove and felt where he was...

  24. Thanksgiving Break is Upon Us!

    moreoreo replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School
