    tamarae1 replied to WyVy's topic in School

    "I left my xray glasses in my other pants" Sometimes this voice stays in my head. Sometimes it accidentally slips out when I'm not paying attention. Some day it will get me in trouble, I know it...

  5. The "Best" Nurse Pass Notes

    tamarae1 replied to WineRN's topic in School

    I'm with you kidzcare! I can do all those. Wound care is fascinating so long as I don't have to smell it (vapo-rub for the win!) My first and only time to almost pass out while nursing was while I...

  6. The "Best" Nurse Pass Notes

    tamarae1 replied to WineRN's topic in School

    "Pants are dirty." Student had dropped a bite of her lunch, being messy. Sigh. We had a chat about how I am there to take care of her if she gets sick, not if she makes a mess. Explained that I am...

  9. I can't win for losing

    tamarae1 replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    I am sorry you have to deal with this. Every time anyone is reported and investigated here, which seems to be fairly often, it is just assumed that I have knowledge about what is going on and that I...

    tamarae1 replied to KKEGS's topic in School

  11. STAAR Testing Anxeity

    tamarae1 replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I have prepared a lot of ice packs and have my cups ready for water. Last year I got about a zillion headaches. They will get a few minutes of conversation free relief, but right back to the test...

  12. Hearing/Vision referrals in Texas

    tamarae1 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I send screening failure letter, followup letter, then make a phone call to see if there's anything I can do to help. Typically it is "I have medicaid and I don't know how to schedule an...

  14. A color run????

    tamarae1 replied to palli's topic in School

    I've done the Color Run twice when it came to town. It was a lot of fun. It was a company that came in and did it, hosted by someone and profits went to a group. I have asthma. The powder is not...

  15. Dear Teacher

    tamarae1 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I am so glad we don't have phones in the classroom. Most teachers don't use their own cellphones here.

  16. What languages do you speak?

    tamarae1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Basic Spanish (Tex-Mex) with some medical lingo tossed in. I understand more than I can speak. In fact I sound very, how do I put it, southern white girl when I try to

  17. ESL student and Family

    tamarae1 replied to WineRN's topic in School

    As a last resort only, lacking anyone at all to translate, and no translating services in the district (surely there's something or someone somewhere- who does the ESL teaching?) I would write a VERY...

  18. Dear Teacher

    tamarae1 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    No lunch, even though I'm supposed to have one. No planning period. Yeah right, there's no way. No conference period. Why would I need one of those? Better not interrupt those though! Sure better...

  19. Apologizing to you all

    tamarae1 replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I'm right here learning beside you, even if I have RN behind my name instead of CMA. It makes no difference - we learn by doing, asking, educating ourselves all of the time. None of us were born...

  20. how long do you wait?

    tamarae1 replied to bsyrn's topic in School

  22. Forged Doctor's Note

    tamarae1 replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I had a rather bad and obvious forge case I looked into last year that was turned in to the school. Mom had chosen a random doctor from the internet in town I think, who obviously did not see...

  23. If you are NOT allowed to dispense OTC meds

    tamarae1 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I have done it both ways. It is a pain to keep up with the OTC permission signatures and knowing that one kid can have a cough drop whereas the next one can only have a mint. One might get tylenol...

  24. Need help with wording.

    tamarae1 replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Worse than the perfect attendance award is giving the school their county/state/federal money based on how their attendance looks for the day/week/month/six weeks/semester. The child is sick. Fever,...

  25. School Nurse Appreciation Day?

    tamarae1 replied to rnkaytee's topic in School

    I'm just happy when no one yells at me or poops. But yes, I was lumped in with teacher appreciation. And appreciated by my nursing director. Like I said, happy when there's no poo. Or no vomit....
