  1. The "Best" Nurse Pass Notes

    tamarae1 replied to WineRN's topic in School

    I don't like my gravy touching anything except the potatoes either. I don't like my food mixing when it shouldn't. But it doesn't cause me anxiety thank goodness. This is one of my ff darlings. We...

  2. The "Best" Nurse Pass Notes

    tamarae1 replied to WineRN's topic in School

    Kid comes in fidgeting around nervously: The mashed potatoes were touching the chicken nuggets. Yep, totally a nursing

  3. "the nurse"

    tamarae1 replied to Flare's topic in School

    I'm still "Nurse" I get called by the old nurse's name when I get called a name. She's been gone a long time now. Multiple years. Pretty sure I could be replaced by any old robot that could...

  4. I swear my kids are the nosiest...

    tamarae1 replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    I have kids ask about mine sometimes. Usually he will tell them himself. When he doesn't I just say, "He's taking his medicine just like you are, now go back to class and stop being nosy." That...

  5. A little vent about contributing to office occasions

    tamarae1 replied to Buggus's topic in School

    I am reminded every day about how I am really only just here when they want something out of me. I feel your pain. They all order food together. Admin, assistants, aides, everyone. Flowers,...

  7. Ringworm?

    tamarae1 replied to ArryOtter's topic in School

    Ours is the same - gotta be covered in school. Treatment is necessary to contain it and to keep the kid comfortable. I'm in a school where most of the parents can't (or just won't) buy a box of...

  8. C'Mon Now!

    tamarae1 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    "I'm supposed to take my medicine in the morning and I haven't taken it in a week and I forgot it today and my mom says I need to take it every day and I didn't take it and um can I call my mom and...

  9. Lice Options

    tamarae1 replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    But I would think that if I spent the last 3 hours combing my squirmy 5 year old's head that I'd wanna wash the pillow to make sure that the few that survived the last 10 hours without food will...

  10. Lice Options

    tamarae1 replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Like others I've seen good results in the school with Sklice. What I have noticed though is that parents actually have to clean their house. Yes. There I said it. Environmental management. Gasp!...

  11. The "Best" Nurse Pass Notes

    tamarae1 replied to WineRN's topic in School

    I've had nurse passes coming in on every kind of paper recently. Sticky notes, note cards, colored paper - napkins. The lunch napkins make me giggle. At least I know which person is sending them...

  12. Fidget Spinners

    tamarae1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    My son came home asking for a fidget popper. I told him absolutely not. If he needed something to do that badly I could find him some extra chores. That got him moving. He is not dx ADD/ADHD. I...

  13. Minor Questions

    tamarae1 replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    What makes the teacher think they don't see well? Do they squint? Did they squint or lean during your

  14. Day. Made.

    tamarae1 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I had several classes sing Happy Birthday to me on my birthday. It really made my day. We had an outdoor gig too recently and it was nice to be able to interact with the parents and kids together,...

  15. Do you ever NOT give out ice packs?

    tamarae1 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I had the nice gel ice packs at the first of the year. They disappeared so fast. So now I'm hording the few I have left to use as warm compresses on ear aches and instead have taken to giving out...

    tamarae1 replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    tamarae1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I can't believe I actually used to love those vyeenie weenies. Gag! I'd rather eat cat food! Granted, I know my cats are spoiled, but still!

  19. Pet Peeve Friday

    tamarae1 replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    That it's OK for everyone else to get a lunch break, but I have to eat at my desk with vomit and blood and snot in my trash can and the bathroom in my clinic smelling of vomit and poo because all of...

  20. Stress Level

    tamarae1 replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I had one semester last year and have worked all year this year, so this is my first full year. I am very stressed. So wired when I get home I can't sleep and it is wearing me out. Fast. 40...

  21. end of year sending meds home

    tamarae1 replied to Apples&Oranges's topic in School

    It sucks to have to destroy meds at the end of the year. District policy here states that meds DO NOT go home with students. Ever. Parents are told throughout the year that they have to pick them...

  22. Teachers, Parents and Students

    tamarae1 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I haven't been in school nursing that long, but for #1 it's the administration. Then again, teachers have 'google nursing' degrees. Half feel like they know more than I do even though I went through...

  23. Funny thing that happened just now.

    tamarae1 replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Sounds like a Monday Morning if I've ever heard one! At least the kid thought it was funny, and Mom didn't yell. Phew! I hold up the box, have the kid drop the tooth inside and quickly put a piece...

    tamarae1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    tamarae1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    The pokemon pictures I downloaded from the internet and printed on a color printer. The pokeballs we made ourselves. Red and white with a black band and "button" in the middle. On the white part of...
