    Parent Pick-Up of Sick Kiddo

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

    ... and I agree that the lower income families are the exception to my statement, most are single parents working low wage jobs that barely allow you to call out sick, I get that. My experience with...

    Parent Pick-Up of Sick Kiddo

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

    I don't want to come off as judgmental, but I have to ask, how can you continue to function without knowing there is a backup for emergencies? My wife and I have no family local, yet we have four...

    All pukes are not created equal

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

    Why observation is so important. Viral puke has a signature smell and look. It is important to find out when they ate last. If it is viral and you don't get to observe it, give them water and you will...

    "Hypothetical" Situation

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

    My wife drove my son 3 hours home after a snowboard fall that broke his wrist, no harm sustained. Not an emergency and not necessary to call

    CBD Administration in School? Policy?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    This is how parents rewrite policies, forget logic here. This is about agenda, not what makes

    I hate to tell you I told you so........

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

    After three decades in nursing, I have become the old nurse who doesn't tolerate bullying and your response smacked of it. Most bullies I confront have no clue they are bullying. Most new grads around...

    I hate to tell you I told you so........

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

    Wow, go back to the general board, we don't need your nasty, condescending, judgmental nurse attitude here. This is our nurses' station, we work alone, and most visitors kind of "ask" to come in. You...

    Providing Care to Staff

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

    We have a friend who works at the school who asks us to do Vitamin B shots, but it is in the friend capacity. I wouldn't do it for a staf

    Vent Sesh

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

    Had granddad drop off his granddaughters at his heels saying to call him if they don't feel well. Well, we all know what happens, I give TUMS to the kinder and she comes back saying she wants to go...

    Headaches

    MrNurse(x2) posted a topic in School

    The bane of the school nurses' existence. Had the dreaded contagious headache this afternoon with the preemptive "my teacher says we have drank a lot of water". Well played. I proceeded to find out...

    Headaches

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

    I have spoken of my "migraine" student before, coming in smiling and talking to people on the way to my office. His parents push the point and every other day email us that they be called if he comes...

    Bellyache

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

    We do a 12 ounce water challenge, if they are going to puke, that will induce it. Otherwise back to class. My wife had 2 members of the same family with stomach complaints, father is a staff member...

    Sick of nurses "referring" to our specialty

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

    One peruse of our forum will show that any new nurse (< 3 years experience) is strongly encouraged to move on will quickly change their thought. Sorry, no, many of my unit nurses say they would...

    First day back after mat leave

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

    To quantify that statement, a new nurse is still new a year into their career, and finally comfortable at the three year mark, give or take. You must refine your critical thinking skills, which need...

    Coping with emergencies at any time.

    MrNurse(x2) replied to tomn13's topic in School

    I am going to lay it out realistically, I apologize if it seems harsh in advance. Nursing is all about critical thinking, a skill that takes education and experience. More education can never replace...

    New Normal Temp

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

    My poor children rarely receive antipyretics or bandaids. They are told that fevers serve a purpose and a few hours of yuck are worth the days of feeling better faster than their medicated friends,...

    New Normal Temp

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

    If a student looks peaked, I will send them home, but just going from a temperature and a vague complaint, no. Especially the frequent

    New Normal Temp

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

    There is no such thing as "that's a fever for my _____". Fevers, we have forgotten in these days of antibiotics, are therapeutic. That 101 degree reading is what it takes to kill pathogens, therefore,...

    Nosebleeds

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

    So you choose to come here, complain about ONE post that said that having a student bleed all over the place by not pinching their nose is stupid behavior and then saying we can’t criticize your...

    Presentation for area Pediatric Offices

    MrNurse(x2) replied to k1p1ssk's topic in School

    I don't think this would be beneficial. They know what the school districts require, they work exclusively with a school aged patient base, they just don't care. They will continue to push to see what...
