    The problem is we have just switched to Skyward and they want us to check EVERY single student in our school and make sure their immunizations have gotten over there well. I'm trying to do that, while...

    Head injuries

    Amethya replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Is there a good guideline how to check kids for concussions? I don't know much about PERRLA or anything, but I do call parents if the child hit his head and they say they feel dizzy, tired, head hurts...

    Help! I can't find work!

    Amethya replied to BostonRN29's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this. I was bombing my interviews, and I didn't know why, eventually, I decided to practice the most asked questions in an interview, so that way when they asked me something out of the...

    Amethya replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    Thank you. It's just sometimes, kids don't understand what they're feeling and think that they are "sick" but in reality it's just their body reacting to what's going on, which in this case, was he...

    Amethya replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    I do this too, I watch them for a while and if they haven't puked in the last 15 mins or complained of pain, then they are fine. I call their parents and tell them what's up, and I'm super evil. I let...

    Migraines

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

    I would talk to the parent and ask them what is his symptoms for migranes, and if he doesn't have them when you see him then, he's fine. If he keeps coming in for soda, explain this to his parents...

    Amethya replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I actually pay for a student if they don't have money for lunch, because the one thing I hate is a child hungry because they don't have enough to eat. I rarely have this issue, but I had to do it at...

    Flea Infested Student

    Amethya replied to HyzenthlayLPN's topic in School

    Agree, this happened to my older nieces, they had such a mess of CPS because the girls had fleas and it wasn't solved until their mother decided to get rid of the dogs sleeping in their room.

    Mom already took me to the doctor, but what's your take on this?

    Amethya replied to Flare's topic in School

    "Ms. Amethya. I have a bruise." Oh, what happened? Did you fall today? "No, this happened yesterday afternoon, when I got home from school. I fell on my knee." Shows two old bruises. Did you tell mom?...

    Amethya replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I once got lice when I was in college, not sure how I got it. This was before my niece and nephew lived with us and it was just my parents and I at home. But I remember how much I scratched my head...

    Amethya replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    Outside providers treating students in your clinic

    Amethya replied to BSNRNHS's topic in School

    I was actually having this conversation during a 504 for our short gut student. He has PT outside of school, but the PT is asking that if we can do some PT exercises during PE for him, but we can't...

    Ugh, WHY?!?!

    Amethya replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    This is why I don't say much about the child's illness unless the child says it. I offered candy to my students last year for doing so well in the screenings, for my only diabetic student, I bought...

    Question

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    That's a good thing to say, I think it sounds better than tell your parent or DoS. I'm very lucky to be working here and the children trusting me so much to tell me their issues, but I wish our state...
