    Help with a head injury

    MrNurse(x2) replied to nursex23's topic in School

    Sounds like anxiety induced N/V and the "head injury" is a convenient landmark event to cover. What is the age of this

    Tired kids!

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

    No offense, but this is reverse thinking. Littles require less sleep than their older siblings, and littles are more apt to awaken

    Toileting pre-k a nursing function?

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

    I work private. There was no nurse 5 years ago, and then when I came, it continued to be a teacher issue. Being male probably helped in this instance. In a school with a counselor, I would try the...

    Spacers: Do you order extra?

    EMR--what do you use?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    SNAP has a lease option at $300/ year and records are available even if you stop leasing. Even my modest school could afford it, and I loved it. We went to Renweb, now FACTS, that is web based, so my...

    tick tock....1 more sleep

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

    So my easy day just got fun, student with what appears to be a bug in her ear. Mom mortified, assured her this isn't a cleanliness issue, then found out she was rolling in hay for a living nativity....

    Used my scary nurse voice

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

    This is precisely why we are here. Critical thinking allows us to play out scenarios. Great call. I had a student imbed a toothpick in her leg that a decent yank could not extract. Ended up in there...

    Mailing Medication

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    Many insurance companies mail meds, that part is OK. Now whether you are willing to take the risk, well... I'd be afraid it gets lost and the parents go postal. If it is that important, 90 minutes...

    If your teacher says you should go home, you're probably ok to stay

    MrNurse(x2) replied to nursex23's topic in School

    My classes are small, so I don't think that is the primary motivation, as I still get this. I think they are deathly afraid of getting sick. Today is our specials day and two classes are having...

    MrNurse(x2) replied to nursex23's topic in School

    Your response is akin to me telling a L&D nurse their assessment was wrong. The main focus of a school nurse is to keep the student from missing instruction time, something that my school, who was...

    schedule change

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

    It is only unsafe when it is on their terms. There is no safety concern if students have been dismissed. This is a teacher centered complaint. I leave at dismissal because each of those children have...

    schedule change

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

    I would be upfront with your administration and ask why? I would explain the hardships it would place on you and that you may not be willing to compromise with a longer day. We are kind of in the same...

    diabetic question

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

    Since our DKA fun, I have been checking before lunch and rechecking at 20 minutes. This gives a more accurate preprandial value. She still is too young to understand that all her lunch must be eaten...

    DKA

    MrNurse(x2) posted a topic in School

    My T1D has been quite well controlled with her new for this school year CGM. Thursday and Friday showed very unusual high readings of 300's and 400's. Friday lunch was 535, her highest. Called mom as...

    DKA

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

    She is on pump with CGM, diagnosed 3 years ago. She normally drops with infection and she never sneaks food. Our teaching with her is constant. Mom doesn't seem keen on her independence. Scar tissue...

    DKA

    She is seven, not hormonal, yet. Friday morning she had sausage with no coverage. Fats and proteins drove up her sugars, I noticed that. Her waking sugar was

    Wow, didn't know that was a thing. Thanks for putting it on my radar. This girl has been so well controlled since her CGM. I think mom was rounding her carbs down so she wouldn't go low (less than 120...

    Exciting possibility...

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

    They could probably hire education students for the "non-essential" classes, like all the social engineering classes. Oh, that's right, those are the most essential. This is the mindset that allows...
