    School nurses, what is the worst emergency you've had?

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

    I often give kudos to first responders and ED nurses. I always say I prefer them cleaned up and on a

    Why would a teacher say that?

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

    Private. What burns me is that admin blew it off. I mean, why would a 13 year old student drag himself into school unless he feared this? I am livid. So close to rolling out early and let them know...

    Slippery Portable Steps = Guarenteed Injury. Any Known Solutions?

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

    Grip tape? Not too expensive. Won't help today, but

    Why would a teacher say that?

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

    I went to clarify this first thing this morning. It was in front of the K teacher, so of course it went back to admin. I was told to send my son home, which I replied that my assessment this morning...

    R.N. debating to pursue BSN

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Martinezrn84's topic in General Nursing

    It is very hard to switch jobs without a BSN. I am in my 50's and will be pursuing my BSN for my "retirement" job. You could cruise in your current position for the next 30+ years, or bite the bullet....

    Nursing shortage is BS

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    There is a reason why hospital experience is necessary out of school. Having your BSN, I find this strange. My wife, a diploma nurse, had a two year unemployment experience from 2014-2015, but the...

    Fun run is mutually exclusive

    MrNurse(x2) posted a topic in School

    Today is fun run. The only thing I find fun is not many students come and it's a half day. This morning during the pep talk they were talking about kids pushing through their pain and continuing. I...

    Why so long

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

    An hour is acceptable, and yes, many parents of my generation have multiple back ups, which it sounds like you do. Most parents at my private school put income in front of their children by working an...

    Why so long

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

    We are reasonable with those circumstances, our complaint is with those that don't try. Playing devil's advocate, your situation is really not acceptable, you should have one or two people who are...

    Need to graft this into the increase in student's behaving badly

    Increase in bad student behavior.

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

    Welcome to progressive psychiatry. My foster kid attempted to kill my son and another student at school, his inpatient therapy only cared about his feelings, not his actions or consequences. Their...

    ... and the kicker? Had she been timely in picking her up, you wouldn't have seen that fever and she could have been back the next

    Increase in bad student behavior.

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

    Am I the only one who feels this is not the responsibility of the state? Expelling a child will cause the parent to investigate, worked with my parents for my younger brother. Discipline changes...

    Increase in bad student behavior.

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

    I am in a very small private, 97 students this year. We had gone 4 years without a fight. We have had three this year. There have been violent acts in the past 4 years, but a lot have been perpetuated...

    NYC school nurse

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

    Must agree with all the previous comments, school nursing is not for a novice. Nursing is a career, you are not experienced until you have about 6,000 hours under your belt. This is why positions that...

    Sleeping in the infirmary

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

    We are the only ones allowed to sleep in the office. We used to let our Lyme's student and CVS sufferers sleep, but we now have no students with conditions that should cause them to need a

    New school nurse- not sure if I like it. Help!

    MrNurse(x2) replied to RNashley86's topic in School

    School nursing seems to be the perfect fit for so many of us here that it sounds unfathomable that others may not like it. I would encourage anyone questioning their choice to give your employer and...

    School nurse salary non-negotiable?

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

    The hardest part of school nursing is to realize you are an afterthought. There are districts that respect our profession and decide that we deserve the same as teachers, but most view us as an...

    First case of flu

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

    Tamiflu and variants reduce the contagious period by 2 days, meaning 4 days post symptoms. That is a generality and may be longer. We put a policy in place last year because of the increased use of...

    what to do if you disagree with PA's treatment

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

    I personally refuse a mid level if it involves diagnosis, OK for follow up. Doctors spend two years giving diagnosis assessments during their training, mid levels have

    what to do if you disagree with PA's treatment

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

    This is appropriate. You may ask if it is effective to treat follicular infection. Take the angle that you want the child included in class, but you also want to protect the classmates from possible...

    what to do if you disagree with PA's treatment

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

    I understand your frustration, but it isn't our place to diagnose and treat. It took me a while when I started, but you have to respect the extra education that you don't

    what to do if you disagree with PA's treatment

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

    I counsel my parents to take student to an MD. I had a student continually treated with antibiotics for a cough at the largest pediatric clinic in our area by PAs and NPs when seen for sick visits, he...
