    It's amazing!

    Amethya posted a topic in School

    It's amazing how enforcing rules and actually standing up for myself accomplishes! Last year, first day of school, I had more than 33 students in the first day! Today... THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, I got...

    When parents don't read carefully

    Amethya replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Yeah... parent's don't read anything. The enrollment packet had the medication authorization letter, and it says specificially that the only way I can give ANY medication is if I have either paperwork...

    IHP? How often are you doing them?

    Amethya replied to Schoolnurse73's topic in School

    The physician needs to submit one in for us, we don't have any, unless specified. Granted we just started to use Skyward this year, so I'm still learning how to use

    Changing Insulin Pump Site?

    Amethya replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    My only diabetic in my school is type 1 and he's on the omnipod. I was taught by the doctor herself and given paperwork to let me do what I have to for him. The pod is removable and can be changed, so...

    It's amazing!

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    ... It was... interesting. I had fun! I met a lot of new friends, but the health center... um... Let's just say that I won't be going back there again. One thing that was my saving grace there is...

    What time do you wake up for work?

    Amethya replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    15 minutes away from work, but since I'm trying to change my bad habits from last year, I'm getting up at a 6, get myself slightly ready, get my kids up, and while they are getting ready, finish...

    Not sure this is the right place for me after all...

    Amethya replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I stay in school nursing for the limited supervision and the schedule. I am the opposite of you though, I graduated from MA school, 2 years ago and was wandering aimlessly, finding a job that would...

    Hello again!

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    It was interesting, very busy! But... it was extremely disorganized, especially the clinic calls. Co-workers were okay, the kids were always coming in and some were very rude. Food was eh. But I did...

    How do your students address you?

    Amethya replied to River Song, RN's topic in School

    I'm not an RN, but I'm a CMA. I'm the school's medical assistant, it says on the paperwork, email and every official thing in this school. But to the kids and staff, "Nurse, school nurse" or Ms. [Last...

    Amethya replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    Do you ever do nothing for your student?

    Amethya replied to pernella's topic in School

    Had a kid lying to me that he was feeling sick yesterday, it's amazing how good I am in knowing they're lying now. I told him to go back to class and he just kept going on he was sick and that his...

    Guess what I did today?!

    Amethya replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Screening questions

    Amethya replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    I share if the student is with them and it's their teacher. I do put in the database for them to see it too, and I have my hard copies

    Fidget Spinners

    Amethya replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    The kids here are crazy for them. I have a fidget cube myself to help me stop trying to bite my nails when I'm anxious and it works, but the kids see it and what to play with

    Lice policy?

    Amethya replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Doctor's notes

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

    Here's a kicker. This is the letter the parent gave to us, it was painfully obvious it was written by the parent: This is how the letter was written: "[Hospital Letter head] To whom it may concern:...

    Dismissing Students

    Amethya replied to moreoreo's topic in School

    It depends. If the child is showing signs of fever, throwing up or headaches, I let them stay. But if it's something not that bad that they can stand being in class, I'll send them back if parent is...
