    Try your health department, ours oversees schools, even our private. So happens, one of their docs has students here, so it was super simple. I also used him to sign off my

    Migraine Action Plan

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

    The best thing about my new office? Essential oil free, no smell of the spilled oils in my old office. Still smells as I went there a week ago to get something left behind. I will never allow EOs in...

    Documentation

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

    My wife and I co-nurse our small private. We use SNAP and it is very reasonable, at $315 per year to lease. You could install it on 2 laptops for med pass and dual access. Intuitive for learning, we...

    I did something wrong. Help!

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

    Amethya, so sorry you are dealing with this. A very friendly reminder that we were all concerned that this may happen without direct oversight. You would be wise to find a better situation next year...

    Abstinence Programs

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

    Why bring this in here? This is an educations based question and you want to insert your political views. Guess what? PP isn't exactly accurate either, so both sides play the same game. Can we keep it...

    Munchausen on the increase?

    Munchausen on the increase?

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

    This is the danger of saying peanut free, you can not control the actions of all students. You also can not control what a student eats before school. I feel for the children with that severe of a...

    Munchausen on the increase?

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

    Isn't it amazing the lengths we go to to prevent potential lawsuits? We so need tort reform, that and insurance reform would negate any healthcare

    Need Advice Plz Help!

    MrNurse(x2) replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    Welcome! This is the best group on AN. I was in the same situation when I started. I have found the K & 1st grade teachers are really good at spotting illness, I give them a pass if they say a...

    Munchausen on the increase?

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

    Everyone knows that nut allergies are airborne. The real logistics and legalities of nut-free extend the school's responsibility to the student's homes. The school has to assume any home made food is...

    Munchausen on the increase?

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

    I would argue that it does fit the Munchausen definition. These parents get an emotional reaction from their "advocacy" and make the child more "disabled" than they truly are. I can bet you this...

    new nurse feeling totally incompetent?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to sstei5988's topic in General Nursing

    Remember, this is a career, not a job. It will take you years to feel comfortable. The pressure you are feeling was constructed recently. Rather than rewrite it, I'll refer you to what you are...

    BSN is a joke

    MrNurse(x2) replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    A little condescending in tone. The OP has valid points that most of what makes a BSN mostly BS is education that truly makes no real world application to the role. I will complete my BSN so I can be...

    Accidental Pill Pusher

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

    My brother was a heroin addict because of chronic pain from hip misalignment, something requiring hip replacements at 48. He needed a pain consult because he was on suboxone. He only took Tylenol for...

    Abstinence Programs

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

    My wife and I have tried to offer this, but our admins are dead set against it, even as an elective. We couldn't teach our best abstinence class, anyway, as we have personal experience we share with...

    Best attendance excuse

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

    You must be young. I have worked 30 years with women and 1 thing I've learned, most women have that low on their priority list. That's why I married my wife, hours of sitting at the station

    Accidental Pill Pusher

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

    Timely delivery. I am a school nurse in a K-8 of only 125 students. Even at this young age, very few will endure a little inconvenience of pain. I have one today with a gum ulcer who has been in 5...

    Head injuries

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

    I do a SCAT assessment with every suspected head injury, it is part of my SNAP program, but you can also access it here: http://physicians.cattonline.com/scat/ I print out a copy of the assessment to...

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

    There are more Munchausen parents out there than one cares to admit. Love ctate's take on it that it excuses poor parenting. I see this often, parents who love to stack the diagnosis list to give an...

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

    One of the main reasons I love my school is that we teach character. I have the latitude to stop whining in its tracks. I tell the student that they are whining and whining is a manipulative tactic to...

    Migraines

    MrNurse(x2) posted a topic in School

    I have a student this year with brain CA. I know he wants to test us and see how we respond, but he comes in almost every day. He says he has a migraine, meanwhile he wants the glaring lights on and...
