  1. Feminine Hygiene for 4th Grade?

    tamarae1 replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    Check with your custodians - ours are the ones that order the terrible diaper type pads the district gives. And P&G hasnt given pads with their growing up kit for a while now. Was deodorant last...

  2. Bathroom Breaks

    tamarae1 replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    I would speak with admin about it and ask if it is policy (we know it isn't.) Teaching on the need for drinking water in school - lessens headaches, keeps body hydrated and working properly. If the...

  3. Splinters

    tamarae1 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I refused one yesterday because it was microscopic even with a lighted magnifier. There was nothing to grab. Show that baby to your mom!

  4. Medication Changes

    tamarae1 replied to PediNurseNYC's topic in School

    I send home a "home medication inventory" and ask parents to please complete it and return it in order to keep their student's file up to date. It works pretty well, most parents will complete it and...

  5. Therapy dogs and Allergies

    tamarae1 replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    We have 3 therapy dogs that work with us during the week. I had a student with a bad dog allergy. She took her allergy medication in the morning and was still able to interact with the dogs at will....

  6. Crappy question

    tamarae1 replied to MendyT's topic in School

    Maybe incorporate a plan that gives him a sitting time (on the toilet) of 10-15 mins after breakfast and again after lunch with a book of his choice. Set the timer. Keep a record of sitting times...

  7. Minor Vent

    tamarae1 replied to imaneedmycoffeefirst89's topic in School

  8. Vision and Hearing Screenings!

    tamarae1 replied to jess11RN's topic in School

    Like the Welch Allyn Spot Vision

  9. Vision and Hearing Screenings!

    tamarae1 replied to jess11RN's topic in School

    Find the policy on a functional vision screen and submit that if you don't have time to have them learn their letters. I'd ask the pre-k teachers to start having kids recognize the HTOV letters from...

  10. SMART goals for student learning

    tamarae1 replied to GatezRN's topic in School

    Poison control, heart health (goes with nutrition and exercise), Importance of drinking water, tooth brushing/dental hygiene, body hygiene (bathing, grooming - always wash your hair, use soap, rinse...

    tamarae1 replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Its for their kids anyway, they should

  13. Student Body Odor

    tamarae1 replied to AzElemNurse's topic in School

    I would let her know that others can smell her and it is sometimes unpleasant - most kids know what you're going to say when they get dragged in for the hygiene talk. I'd also ask a few questions...

  14. Let me give you a mint for asthma

    tamarae1 replied to cjl_RN's topic in School

    I would be happy to pull and print my documentation and leave it with the principal for the parent to come pick

  15. Type 1 diabetics, help!

    tamarae1 replied to cjl_RN's topic in School

    Do what her doctor's orders call

  16. Notarization Question

    tamarae1 replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I've never had a notary charge me before. The reasons of conscience form is free - anyone can download one. It's the signatures - if the doc has to sign off on it, some doctors offices will charge a...

  17. IEP/504 Help!

    tamarae1 replied to jamesRN92's topic in School

    IEP - Individual education plan. Because the student is not learning to grade level and needs individualized help in order to pass and catch up. 504 - the student is needing supports from school but...

  18. Teachers ??

    tamarae1 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Depends on the day, and the

    tamarae1 replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    "and other duties as assigned." Can you feel my eyes rolling from here? I hate that everything nasty is immediately a nursing issue. Drives me

  22. TB

    tamarae1 replied to ceelopez12's topic in School

    Elevated and red isn't necessarily positive. I think it has to be something like 15mm to be considered positive for an otherwise healthy individual with no comorbidities or exposures. If they are...

  23. Not lice but what?!

    tamarae1 replied to WineRN's topic in School

    without seeing a picture - could it be small scabs and dried serous drainage of eczema? Like from scratching your head if it itched and not outwardly breakin the skin? Or blackheads in the hair...

  24. IHPs

    tamarae1 replied to Feral.Cat.Herder's topic in School

    Some of this may depend on district policy. For us: IHP needs to exist when there is a 504 or IEP in place with a health diagnosis that causes student to come to clinic frequently. In my state, RNs...

  25. Nurses Pass?

    tamarae1 replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

    In my general ed campuses, yes. With 500 students it kept the elementary kids in the classroom and the teachers in the loop. Plus it helped me learn all 500 of their names. I did notice that if the...
