    The way things should be

    So, on top of flu, strep and pink eye, the secretary came with... LICE. She said that a mom called to "let us know that we must have lice". She went to the Principal who said to let me know. I sat...

    The way things should be

    The best part is this could be a school that transmits easily, students are constantly sitting in each others laps and literally head to head during group times, but this student is the loner who...

    Any way you could stay over and work a few hours

    If you pick up shifts often and ask for a scheduling favor admins standard line is "that was your choice and we compensated for it", so this team player notion is all a bunch of
  7. They are obligated to investigate everything. Remember, the board exists for the protection of the public, not the advocacy of nursing. There have been ex-BF/ GF who thought it would be great revenge...

    Must Have Supplies

    Not this one, I am a Scrooge. Now let me put my one lump of coal on the fire to keep me

    Bad week

    I have had it with stupid visits. I can think of a handful of times in my youth that I stopped playing to address an injury or apply ice, and every one was outside of school. I took aspirin...
  11. In my state we need a MD order for OTC's, luckily I was able to reuse a neighboring county's (we don't do districts here) protocols which dictate how they are to be

    C'Mon Now!

    Parents direct diagnosing these days, especially at urgent cares. Really can't trust anything anymore. Media, research, diagnosing, gas station sushi, what are we coming

    Bad week

    I have said before, my office is self funded, trust me, I'm getting Dollar Tree meds and my FF are required to bring medicine in for their child, so the worst offenders get the good stuff,...

    Hygiene in HS setting

    Do a search, discussed MANY times here. Not really in our lane, we aren't directly involved and should come from someone they have a relationship with is the general, lengthy, synopsis of

    School Title

    Just respond with "why thank you teacher". It is rude, they just don't remember your name. I have the nickname RN, as our principal has the same first name as me and I am OK with it, I don't want the...

    Phone Calls

    We use renweb, now FACTS, a web based school suite that allows me to email my documentation to parents. Sucks because you shouldn't use abbreviations like SOB, but easy, takes the same time as saving...

    STOP!!!

    I call it the golden ticket, and I ALWAYS tell parents that offering this to your child is no bargaining chip, they will always try to go home. Let's face it, as adults we would take advantage of it,...
  19. I hate to put it this succinctly, but as long as nurses are willing to accept these positions for the low pay and weighty risk to license in exchange for gravy hours (compared to every other nursing...

    Diabetic question!

    This is why you rarely hear T1D in report in an acute setting. I know one friend, an RN who is in her 50's, and healthy. She kept tight reign on it and was raised when carbs were controlled instead of...

    Suicidal Thoughts in School

    I have had this exact scenario, and I have no counselor now, but had one when this escalated. I called 911, then I called the

    Typical schedule.

    Our private school is one hour longer than public from 8:30AM to 3:30PM, I get here around 8AM and leave at the close of

    Were you a frequent flyer in you’re own school days
