    LIU Brooklyn Spring 2020

    I alerted moderators to move your post. This is for school nurses, not nursing school. Happens a lot and moderators are quick to

    Heimlich Queen

    My wife showed our staff why we are here yesterday. A kinder was choking at lunch, unable to do any air exchange and my wife did the Heimlich. Most nurses make it through life never doing this. This...

    How to help coughing student?

    I have told my own children for years that pushing fluids is the best treatment. All I ever heard was thanks for nothing from them, until my oldest tried it out of desperation. He is now a disciple on...

    "The Nurse doesn't really DO anything" -Middle school students

    Children are not the most observant people. We are a very small school, we really don't do very much. We see 8-10 students a day, have 5 meds and one T1D. Luckily we both work other jobs for our...

    Parents sometimes...

    But children can have ZERO disappointment in life. Doesn't matter if the rest of their classmates get sick. Meanwhile, my two sat home 4 days while their class went to New Orleans, talk about...

    Heimlich Queen

    This is the same thought process of anti-vaxxers. Rather have a dead child than autistic (if it were true). The staff ran the little guy into our office from the lunch room. Next year, we are gone,...

    Few states mandate nurses in schools. It is an afterthought too

    Heimlich Queen

    My wife is downplaying it, but that was my thought. Not even a thanks for letting us know, just a complaint because we don't have contact info and had to call the grandfather. Rich parents, poor

    Do you ever miss bedside?

    My paid position is full time in a very critical IMC, as in only vented patients or vasopressors are in the CCU, we get everything else. I hate bedside, I have done it for 32 years, I'm done. I love...

    Would you break a contract and switch mid-year?

    An aside to the main post, just like nurses have their culture, this is a glimpse into the police/ police wanna be culture. Why there has to be an internal review department in police

    Would you break a contract and switch mid-year?

    My resignation letter would include the words " I will seek legal counsel should the $2,000 fee be assessed, as this resignation comes in the midst of a hostile work

    appendicitis

    Americans should NEVER feel pain or be constipated. I am surprised this wasn't in the Bill of Rights. (PM me if you are not sure what that

    Recess/Gym Restrictions - Where do your students go?

    Concussions should be in your office. They really need to be on brain rest until cleared by MD, so library is out and sidelines, as you have identified, carry increased risk. I send concussions home...

    Who gets the backpack

    My building is small and sending the student is our norm. They also inform the teacher they are being dismissed. I would find it unacceptable to be away from the office for more than 2

    Common clinic visits (elementary)

    Sounds like a child who doesn't like having to conform to the authority in school after a childhood without structure. Honestly, I am surprised we don't see this more

    appendicitis

    The fact that they waited for surgery proves you didn't "miss" anything. It was a progression and, given the info you provided, nothing really pointed to anything abnormal. I have seen surgeons look...

    "huge puddle of blood!"....oh boy

    Back the truck up, a child cut themselves with suicidal ideation and they are back in school the next day? I am sheltered in my population, I understand that, but come on, no inpatient (as...

    Wiping bottoms

    Ahh, no. This is not in ANY way, shape or form nursing's lane. Do you have a counselor? This is behavioral all the way. Approach your Principal with this angle and see how fast this gets corrected....

    Don't Say The "Q" word!

    After 30 years in this, saying quiet doesn't change anything, full moons are powerless and I am more often the windshield than the bug. We see what we want, and these superstitions make you part of...

    The hardest part is sitting here watching parents raising children who you know will not fare well as adults if their parents continue taking them out of uncomfortable situations. I fear for our...

    Why would a teacher say that?

    My son woke up sick this morning and had a borderline fever. He proceeded to drag his feet but also mentioned that his teacher said he would get a zero even if he was sick on an assignment due today....
