    Question about students who self-carry medications for Anaphylaxis

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

    Epipens for schools supplies pens to schools free. This is one thing I would suggest you do sooner than later. Maryland even has a standing order for all schools, public and private, so you don't need...

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Nurse2Kids's topic in School

    SNAP can be leased for $325/ year, very comprehensive and self evident. Are you private or public? Budget? Immediately go to epi-pens for schools and get them sent to your schools. You will need ice...

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

    Treatment can be had for $10 in a good lice comb. It is not necessary to use chemicals, just diligence. I read an account where a boy developed lymphoma and had 4 periods of relapse/ recession before...

    Ongoing lice problem

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

    Treating the children is a temporary stopgap, without the parents being treated, it will only persist. This family will forever remain infested. Maybe they can't afford pets and these are low...

    AAAAAGGHHH!

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

    It was a little more self centered than that. Last outbreak was mostly staff kids. I didn't want it getting out that the school nurses' kid got it, that would have been ridiculous in the lice fear...

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

    So my son ended up with them. I am thankful for my school nurse experience as we would be freaking right now. I calmly drove to Wally World and got my Nix and combed through. Thankfully few nits and 4...

    Starting my 40th year

    MrNurse(x2) replied to kitty29's topic in General Nursing

    Good job hanging 4 decades with the same specialty. I am very fortunate that managers never feel the need to evaluate me. I always get passed over, and I am fine with it. Maybe working nights? I don't...

    Inappropriate Conversations in the Workplace

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

    Didn't that take you away from patient care? Weren't you avoiding patient care when you hung at the desk and listened to the conversation. Sometimes it is really easy to label what others are doing...
