    Missed one

    Amethya replied to WineRN's topic in School

    I'm sure you did a good job. I haven't had this issue yet, but I do tell parents that if the child still complains of pain or anything at home, they should take them to the doctor just to make sure....

    Bathroom accidents...

    Amethya replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Somewhat yes, but that's only if the student doesn't have any clothes in their bags that day and I need to call their parents. I don't clean them or anything like that, that's where I draw the

    Amethya replied to Kbearden's topic in School

    It's a good idea! Like everyone says, it helps you understand how a school nurse works and what to do. I'm using my time here as leverage so when I actually leave to be an RN and go work at a school,...

    How to spot fakers and send them to class quickly?

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    So Yesterday was a good day. I did what I said and basically cut down on wait times if the kid doesn't have to wait to talk to their parents. I only had 16 yesterday, without adding the 14 kids I did...

    How do you deal with nurse cliques/"gangs" bullying?

    Amethya replied to Bosmer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That sound so petty and immature in their part. Like, wow. It's not high school, why act like this? I had this issue in my first job as a CMA and the sad part that the whole place was a clique and I...

    How to spot fakers and send them to class quickly?

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Oh I don't call for EVERYTHING. Like small cuts and such, eh. I may call later to let them know they came for that, but unless it's major, I will call urgently. Like others says, it's policy for my...

    How to spot fakers and send them to class quickly?

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I did check and what I saw mostly is that I tend to keep kids in my office just to talk to their parents. Not them, I mean me. So I'm planning to do is if it's nothing major and they don't answer,...

    Holy pay cut shock!

    Amethya replied to Scorchednurse's topic in School

    Not an RN, but CMA. I get paid 14.21/hr as a Medical Aide in a Public Charter School, which is more than I get paid in Doctor's offices (13/hr was the last pay I was getting). I'm not planning to stay...

    Would you pray with a student?

    Amethya replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    If the student wants to with me, I will. I'm... not really super religious, I come from a Catholic family, which is christian-ish? I always respect others religious views and life, and if someone...

    Diabetic student not wanting to drink water

    Amethya posted a topic in School

    How do you get these kids to drink water? I have talked and explained to him he needs to drink water. It's important and it helps his sugar stay down. But he won't listen, and sometimes rolls his eyes...

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I see him at average 3 times a day, one of them for lunch time. I was thinking maybe coming up with a reward system, if he does what I ask and ask his teachers to keep an eye on his intake, then I can...

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Amethya replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    I'm sadly not the most important person here nor friends with the PTO moms, so I don't even get many gifts, not even from the diabetic student I work hard to take care of. This year, I got this one...
