    Too Many Visits - advice for teachers?

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

    I know this is an old post, adding this for someone who may be looking for advice in the future: before you ever accept the pass ask "would this stop you from playing if you were home?". You would be...

    Poorest lack of judgment EVER!!!

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

    Most non-medical people freeze. My son related a story of how a teacher friend of ours had a son split his head open. She hugged him as blood poured out his head. My older son asked her if she should...

    Audiometer.

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

    Honestly, I don't understand the rationale for districts to have one per school. There should be a co-op between schools for testing equipment. It only gets used a fraction of the school year. Have...

    I had an issue last year with lice. I worked on updating our policy and admin was on board. This mom used to be a school nurse and believed the archaic info. She told my Principal that lice can climb...

    Primary Care and Immunization Compliance

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

    Very timely, as I have been out of my office these last two months and vaccination survey is two and a half weeks away and I am sending out lots of exclusions. I feel horrible that I did not send out...

    Enablement Overload

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

    There is over a thousand years of experience in nursing here, this how many times your experience? We are unique in our environment. When you become a nurse, I would challenge you to never complain to...

    Enablement Overload

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

    I find myself stating over and over "that's life". I get the biggest complaints about the littlest of things. Meanwhile, my son who has 30 stitches in his leg and a JP hanging out of it, is walking...

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

    The part of the anti-vaxxers argument that is lost is that somehow a living child with Autism is worse than a dead child from a preventable deadly disease. Let that sink

    Health records- online or paper or both???

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

    We use Renweb, it is web based, therefore we can access it via our phones. Love this part of it. I started with paper the last trimester of the year I started, but quickly went to SNAP and now

    Med admin difficulty

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

    Is he SPED? If not, I would consult parents. That is far too immature for a normally developed sixth grader. I would suggest crushing in applesauce if it is a crushable med, if parents are

    I got my head taken off after a woman commented on a fellow nurse's wall that she didn't care if she lived or died when she had the flu and was against flu shots. I said that it is not fair to judge...

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

    My wife drove my 11 year old 4 hours before being seen for his wrist that "hurt a little", sure enough broken. Same kid degloved his shin this weekend, and guess what? "It hurts a little". That pain...

    As a RN, which would you choose?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to GenieToBe's topic in General Nursing

    This.So.Much.This I hate hearing the conversations at the desk about this or that patient not choosing DNR status. How dare you belittle a person's life like that. How pompous. This cavalier DNR...

    New Grad RN, Will being a school nurse lock me into never moving into acute care?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to BethG26's topic in School

    I hate to beat the dead horse, no it would not be a great career move to become a school nurse from the start. You limit your growth and that will affect your students. Critical thinking is a learned...

    Temp first, followed by the questions, poop, snack, etc. and finally the water challenge. I give 12 ounces of water, if it is a virus, they won't be able to hold it
