    Migraines

    Our model takes the best of Montessori, Classical and Waldorf philosophies. We do have computers, but very limited and accelerating in MS as most of our graduates go to public

    Parents, parents, parents.

    I have told parents and students when it seems like avoidance that I can not excuse their dismissal and all work missed will not be able to be made up. This normally changes LD and parent's attitude...

    Migraines

    This particular student is constantly on screens. I agree with your assessment, why do parents always want to exaggerate their child's

    Lack of Manners

    I have never had a girl be shy about menstrual cramps. They just come in and ask for Motrin for cramps. I was taken aback at first, but now am thankful they are that

    Cyclical Vomiting vs stomach bug????

    CVS is also "abdominal migraine", a very important detail. Headache can also be present. In light of afebrile presentation I would have treated as CVS. Teachers do not want any vomiting in the...

    Terminated from my PerDiem Job... Need to vent

    My per diem just terminated me because I got the flu shot two days after their deadline, despite me never stepping foot in their facility until after the two week efficacy period. Stupid on their...

    Screening incentives for MS and HS

    OK, I may be seen as the mean one, but let's think this through. The world doesn't work on a frequent incentive basis. I hate it with my own children, so it is fair for others. Giving rewards for...

    Administer OTC medications or No?

    Feel free. PM me any questions you have. I may take a day or a few as I split time here with my wife and only check AN when I am

    Administer OTC medications or No?

    Check your local public schools, they may be able to help you develop a protocol so OTC can be given with just parental approval. I developed my position and reached out to the neighboring county for...

    Growing pains?? (chronic intermittent leg pain)

    I would tell the "office" that you need to return their call. Bet you anything her "friend" is going to call. Once a lie gets

    C'Mon Now!

    I have noticed that the last two years we have had an influx of under 40 parents, we only had old parents because of the economy for the previous 6 or seven years. They really are different in their...

    Safety Plan ideas, anyone?

    I beg all my parents to demand an MD see their child. I have had really bad experiences with midlevels diagnosing. They are very inconsistent, and I live in arguably the best health care in the world....

    horrible immunization compliance rate

    If you are in Maryland (we are due the 15th), it pertains to private as well as public. This is the worst year I have had with compliance, I have 11 students, approximately 50%, non compliant....

    Looking to pick school nurses brains..

    I started the school nurse position at our private school. Basically in Maryland, the health department oversees the schools, both public and private. PM me about specifics, including protocols, OTC...

    From "Nut Free" to "Nut Aware"

    The terminology is a legal nightmare. The main reason we would not cave to a mom demanding it. Admin told her she was trying to create a false safety and increasing the risk to her son. The same...
