    buying supplies with your own money

    MrNurse(x2) replied to guest464345's topic in School

    Thankfully Dollar Store bandaids are excellent and latex free. Dollar Store meds are also worthwhile. I have had a few parents offer to buy meds and supplies from their FSA's, I guess that is a double...

    Return after flu

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

    The problem with antivirals is the body stops the fever but remains contagious, that is why I am looking into a policy to protect other

    Non-Contact Thermometers?

    Return after flu

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

    I had a case last month and the physician said OK after 24 hours with Tamiflu. Physicians in my area succumb to patient pressure and customer service is forefront in treatment. I fear pediatricians...

    Measles

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

    I follow a popular anti-vaxxer doc on FB, scary what these people believe. They are claiming that this outbreak, though in a poorly vaccinated area, proves herd immunization does not protect them. I...

    buying supplies with your own money

    MrNurse(x2) replied to guest464345's topic in School

    My administrators make less than the teachers and have mortgaged their homes for this school, one of the reasons I am willing to do what I do. Teachers here make half what the county public schools do...

    buying supplies with your own money

    MrNurse(x2) replied to guest464345's topic in School

    God bless you. I work at a private with no budget. I pulled tooth and nail to get my SNAP program at $300 annual. I bring my own defibrillator and buy all my meds and supplies. It does irritate me...

    Gender Bias in Pediatric Pain

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

    My wife sees more boys and I see more girl injuries. Both genders play it up equally, we have many future stars. Please remember that research is no longer "blind", always read each one with what...

    Pacer Test (May the odds be ever in my favor)

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

    I know we laugh, but heart attacks are really a possibility with the sedentary lifestyle most children have these days, starting with preschoolers. Yes, they are deconditioned, but pediatric...

    Return after flu

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

    In light of widespread Tamiflu use compared to years ago, I believe school districts should develop a policy. Students may be fever free within 24 hours of initiating Tamiflu, but victims reduce their...

    When parents are not upfront on medical forms

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

    There is a huge misconception that disclosing medical history creates a permanent record that will follow the child through life. My written cards get shredded when the student leaves the school, my...

    C'Mon Now!

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

    Had a seventh grader come in yesterday looking really rough, chills and just plain ill. She had to be forced into my office. C'mon now, don't infect your whole class. I told her she was going home...

    C'Mon Now!

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

    Just had a drama king come in stating he needed to call his mom to stay close to home because he had a fever. He said his teacher said he felt warm. Temp 36.5C, and he then told me he had a fever...

    C'Mon Now!

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

    I kind of miss not doing attendance for this exact reason. I get asked all the time if this or that is "going through the school" and I honestly don't know why students are not in school, I can only...

    C'Mon Now!

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

    We have a microwave and fridge in our office that we bought with our own money, in fact everything from our office comes out of our pocket, band aids, stock meds, everything. The staff microwave is...

    Asthmatic emergency

    MrNurse(x2) replied to nicole.schoolRN's topic in School

    You showed immense self control with that mother. I would have been much more transparent that my call was 911 and you overrode it. I would have reminded her that my training is this and sometimes you...

    Keep visits short, take temp as soon as they come through the door and send them back to class immediately. I have a tympanic sitting preloaded at my side to get a temp in the first 5 seconds. Soon...
