    I did something bad...

    I have these two students who take their inhalers for PE, and these are new students for me, so I'm still getting used to their schedule. On the schedule it says PE W, Th and F. So I have an alarm for...

    Spring is not the best time of the year...

    I'm just glad we are having spring break next week (I can get a break from this) and hopefully the pollen count here goes down soon. Literally, my silver Nissan Altima, is covered in yellow dust, like...

    Elevator pass, extra 5 mins to get to their classes and limited PE. I send it to all their teachers and PE teacher, as well as some of the admin so they

    New School Nurse: VENT

    1) No orintation, I got hired at least 2 days before school started. So everything I done is by trial and error. 2) They are okay, we get along, but I can sense that because I'm still "new" and they...

    School nurses - thoughts on this?

    This is why I have my cell phone at all times and I told my number to all the teachers and staff because in case I'm not in my office, I can run to where the problem is. They call me straight away if...

    Summer jobs woes

    I just wanted to rant a bit right now. I'm 26 years old and I already got a career, but I want to pursue more. Since I joined this site I learned so much about this type of job and I found out about...

    I did something bad...

    The teacher forgot she had them in a bag but I got in trouble because I was freaking out on where the medications and we thought someone took them. And also because of my giant mess of a room and...

    I did something bad...

    Update Update: So I'm not sure what's going to happen but I started to organize my room so hopefully they can see I'm actually trying to do something about this. And I apologized tremendously to the...

    Summer jobs woes

    Well the camp is in a secluded area, it's called Camp Starlight. You can google it but it's right next to Hancock. It's pretty far from a town, but they tell us that we can go visit a town on the bus...

    I did something bad...

    Update: So I seriously am an idiot and I will not be surprised if they fired me. Last week the 6th graders went on a field trip and I gave them the medications and plain forgot. I was in trouble and...

    I did something bad...

    No student is allowed to take their medications with them in the school. All medications are with me at all times, but since the box has been broken, I have to lock my door but sometimes I step out to...

    I did something bad...

    I had to fill out an incident report. I was told I can be liable for the medication and was asked how many times did I step out with the door open, and I honestly don't remember. I was told it was...

    NOT MY PROBLEM

    I know I did nothing wrong, but I hate when parents think a confrontation this way will make me actually fix things or make things better if they say it nicely. No it will actually piss me off,...

    Spring is not the best time of the year...

    Yeah that's my plan of action today. If I get the same kids today, I'll phone mom and tell them about their previous exchange and if they have done anything about it? I would suggest to go see the...

    I don't want ibuprofen...

    Oh yeah, I understand that sometimes they don't know the actual names for generic, but since this exchange I say Tylenol and Motrin to make sure they do understand me and not to make them feel dumb or...

    NOT MY PROBLEM

    On the other side of the spectrum, I gotten more kids than usual this week, all for headaches and I'm assuming it's allergies, but lots of parents pick them up and they are fine, and I get yelled at...

    Spring is not the best time of the year...

    I would tell them they are fine, but then they run to another staff member and tell them I'm denying them service and I get them telling me to check them because they are not feeling well and I'm...
