  1. Too Many Visits - advice for teachers?

    moreoreo posted a topic in School

    (Disclaimer: I freely admit this is a whiny post and have bolded my actual questions for any who prefer not to read it!) I know this is a repeat question but I also know it's not the first time for a...

  2. Any school nurses out there with 40 years?

    moreoreo replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    It's a serious problem, and I think the more children who "go to the nurse," the more others think it's a place they can go, too, so that each nonsense visit spawns others. I have had a parent whose...

  3. See you around!

    moreoreo replied to Kittery's topic in School

    I am in a similar position- except with baby #1 and anticipating I will likely also stay home through baby #2 starting school- with mixed feelings but somehow also certain this is the right choice for...

  4. Tired of School Nursing?

    moreoreo replied to Avill's topic in School

    This is so true for me, too! I remember the days when I was still overwhelmed with the problems of bedside nursing, feeling like I had no way out, when my husband suggested school nursing to me and I...

  5. I'm worried...

    moreoreo replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    My thoughts and wishes are with you, your student, and his or her

  6. Oh, yeah....

    moreoreo replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    I have a few of those. Their visit note gets longer and longer as I try to encourage them to return to

  7. Stocking OTC meds at elementary school level

    moreoreo replied to nursetlm's topic in School

    I'm at an elementary school and we do not have stock OTC meds, not even cough drops, and I have to say I prefer it this way. Our mindset is that we are here to manage unexpected health issues that...

  8. EMS talking down to Nurse

    moreoreo replied to heynurse1996's topic in School

    Still reading everyone's replies but completely agree with all that you did the right thing! I called paramedics recently for an asthma flare up in a student who did not have medication in the health...

  9. C'Mon Now!

    moreoreo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I would freak out too! I have nothing especially worthy of "c'mon now"ing about, just I'm 8 months pregnant so I feel exasperated by literally every little thing. Trying my best to remember my...

  10. Lost my husband on Holiday Break

    moreoreo replied to guest83140's topic in School

    Does your district's HR have an Employee Assistance Program? One of my benefits at my district is all the employees have access to a toll-free number to call for support with life issues (emotional,...

  11. Lost my husband on Holiday Break

    moreoreo replied to guest83140's topic in School

    My heart goes out to you and your family. I know this thread is already full of kindness and good advice-I unfortunately don't have any new advice of my own to offer-but just wanted to send some love...

  12. Minor Questions

    moreoreo posted a topic in School

    If there is already something like this, please let me know, but I thought there could be a thread for minor questions that we would feel silly to start an entire topic for. I know there are a lot of...

  13. C'Mon Now!

    moreoreo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Oh... the bane of Monday mornings. "Arm is bruised from the weekend. Says Mom knows but can you check?" Check what? To make sure it's not broken with my X-ray vision? I kind of get it. From a...

  14. Remember to walk....

    moreoreo replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    This is SO TRUE!!! It can be fun to venture out into the school world (in my school of ~900 I am expected to be in my office at almost all times so I am not often in the hallways) because the...

  15. Tips to shorten visits?

    moreoreo replied to NurseVal93's topic in School

    I think everyone has said what I would have said! I am from pre-k to 5th grade so a very different population from yours. But like others have said--experience will help. You will start to know the...

  16. Christmas break, when do you start yours?

    moreoreo replied to mag426's topic in School

    I kept thinking today was Friday 8.5 hours left for

  17. C'Mon Now!

    moreoreo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Do you guys get a lot of dismissal-time visitors? Sometimes a child is literally minutes away from being picked up by their own parent and they come to me to tell me they bumped their arm or whatnot...

  18. Lovable Parents

    moreoreo replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    Just wanted to throw out there, that sometimes you have such a run of not-so-nice parents that when you encounter one normal one who says the words "thank you" you have to savor that for a while. A...

  19. Christmas break, when do you start yours?

    moreoreo replied to mag426's topic in School

    I'm still here! Saw more than 50 yesterday on our short day which is a lot but I am so ready for break that I didn't even realize how many until the day was already over! Fingers crossed for all of...

  20. Rashes

    moreoreo posted a topic in School

    (I know this exact topic has been posted before; I've read a few but am wondering if there are any other nuggets of wisdom out there to receive!) When to dismiss for a "rash"?? I've had teachers write...

  21. The Grinch Nurse

    moreoreo replied to halohg's topic in School

    :D I made my husband watch this, because I tell him so much about the bigger things that happen but THIS is the fluff that makes up much of my

  22. The mile run-- hold me!

    moreoreo replied to nmr79's topic in School

    I was just talking to my husband the other day about square dancing and how I wonder why that of all things is something we did so much in gym class. We have two very young gym teachers at my school...

  23. Bed bug bites vs flea

    moreoreo replied to peaceful nurse's topic in School

    "We found this little bug can you tell us what it is?" :bored: I vividly remember, that when my husband had Valentine's flowers delivered to me in my second month of working at my school, and the...

  24. C'Mon Now!

    moreoreo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    So sorry! I had a lot of early morning fevers last week, not so bad this morning, but I went out with the wheelchair twice in 20 minutes on Friday, in the middle of 12 in one hour, on a day I was...

  25. Rashes

    moreoreo replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    That's true. I was surprised once by a case of Fifth's Disease because it avoided my other parameters except that the child was uncomfortable enough to be sent home and had a mild temp. His parents...
