    How to get parents to cooperate with immunizations?

    Same here, I'm in Texas. I had called parents about this, but I talked to my admin and they told me that I need to tell them to do this or we will not let them in school. That we need to send an...

    New school nurse! Help!

    Biggest complaint I get is headaches, sore throat and stomachaches. Have a visitors log before hand and make sure you document everything on the database as well. It depends on if the screenings have...
  3. So I've been thinking and I want to do RN, but I'm at lost on what I should do first to get to that. I haven't finished my associates yet, I only need 4 more classes, but after that? What's my next...

    Pregnancies on Campus

    If I remember my high school, they had a mandated health class for freshman (Which I didn't take for unknown reasons and had to take in my Junior year.) and IIRC they did tell us about being safe and...

    A Kindergartener just came into my office

    When I get this complaint and I know the kid is just trying to get out of class, I start telling them "Me too... do you know anything that can fix my headache?" And they are like

    So I asked the SPED person at our school, basically this kid is NOT under a 504 and she can't set him up on one until his mother approves that he needs a behavior specialists. So it all pin points to...

    When teachers go behind your back...

    I got this problem 2 days ago, but it wasn't the teacher. It was the student and it was all because she had cramps and she bled a little through her clothes. She borrowed her friend's cellphone and...

    'That's a good question. What I observed is he's fine in the mornings. He gets his dose in the AM, and he's okay. I think it's mostly the medicine effects wear off after a while. I'm suppose to give...

    To our medical aide supervisor and she's not an RN either. It's a public charter school, so I'm not sure if the same rules apply as public schools. And I get this idea, I seriously do believe we need...

    I think I need to address this. I did not restrain him in any way. The Gym teacher saw I was struggling, as someone said, everyone expects me to be able to handle situations like this but I'm not...

    No. I didn't restrain him. I tried to take the opportunity of the teacher holding him and hugging him and tried to give him his medication but he spit it

    Nope, all of us are CMA. I'm not really sure if he has one or not, but I'll ask if he has a plan in place and to see what we can do help him and keep him
  18. So I live with my parents and my niece and nephew. Long story short, mother died 4 years ago, so now 8 year old and 6 year old is our responsibility. Father (brother) doesn't care, so he only sees...

    Off topic: 8 year old found out Santa doesn't exist

    I told my niece that Santa is real, as the spirit of Christmas that lives inside all of us. And also asked her to keep that quiet from her 6 year old brother unless he figures it out by

    Stop, putting this on me...

    I had this situation in the beginning of the year. I got so sick of it I went to the admin and kept bothering them until they listened to me and did what I asked, which is the Kinder and 1st, it is...

    Do you ever say "no" to an inhaler request?

    I have a lot of PRN inhalers and only one that is needed each day. Still I do give it to them if they need them, I rather give it to them than face the consequences later from parents and admin. But I...

    I just don't know how to stop this, but almost every single day, the Kinder or 1st grade teachers ALWAYS brings me some kid with slight pink-ish eyes and say they have pink eye. I know the difference...

    There's not a place for him to be safe in, he's rarely like this. So what happens is we don't restrain him but we talk to him and we try to keep him safe by watch him. We didn't restrain him for his...
