    school stock meds given, do you notify?

    I don't call for meds given. I will call for trends, mostly because I pay for the meds out of my pocket. I will request they bring in a stock supply for their child or donate to the school. Should I...

    Charting

    This rant did not address one issue the OP brought up. This forum is unique in that we are isolated at work, this is our nurses' station. We need real time responses and are pretty on point. I could...

    Changing kids clothes and cleaning them

    I have a KG teacher who has been here since the beginning and she deals with it. I have explained to her the possible ramifications, but she, like most KG and 1st grade teachers, is a pollyanna when...

    You all are so fickle, although I prefer XYRN,
  7. I started my career in 1987 at a very nice religious based hospital. They were wonderful to their employees. They gave me paid time off when they found out my wife and I were divorcing, knew what was...

    new and feeling blue..

    Pour over these posts. I developed this position with only the guidance of these very wise nurses and info from NASN. No one there can guide you, they are education oriented. Are you in a public or...

    Non opioid pain options

    I have been blessed to hear this from a pretty well known pain management specialist. I feel compelled to tell all I can. Dilaudid will forever change a person's response and tolerance to pain....

    this is why I want to call off on my last day

    I worked the same unit for decades. I am not exaggerating when I have seen close to a thousand people come and go. I enjoyed their company but they will be replaced and forgotten. Cold shoulder is the...
  11. It could be that your personality and punctual response made her happy. These manipulative beings have a huge insecurity that their needs won't be met. That is fair, as I have worked with numerous...

    news article: nurse withholds meds calls crutch

    I have several Motrin addicts, they want it for everything. In light of the opioid epidemic and my role as health educator, I will explain at length that the first choice for discomfort should not be...

    CPR in school

    My third year at a private. I, too, was all about cost containment, with my entire budget being $315/ year for SNAP. This year I see close to a year's salary for a teacher being spent on speakers and...

    Normal....

    So sorry for such a sucky start to your year. Another issue facing school nurses when all this trauma occurs is we are the only healthcare providers, therefore it all falls on us to be the go to...

    Subs

    This has been brought up numerous times, but I haven't seen this angle. Don't come in when you have symptoms that would exclude a student. Your absence will not cause a death in almost every case. The...

    What is that saying....

    Who is responsibile for field trip info?

    Do your teachers receive a list of conditions for their students? My school is small and intimate enough that the school's allergies and emergent conditions are sent to every teacher. This is a need...
