    If you feel sick the nurse will call me and you can go home

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

    I don't really mind those students who are mature enough to be told that, but don't tell your 5 yr old who has already been to the nurse 30 times in 40 days (parent aware) that he can come home if he...

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

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

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

    I work at a very small private. The politics of parents paying is huge, but my administrators are very clear on what is and isn't excused. They were lax before I started here, attendance was an...

    School Nurse "Holiday Wish List"

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

    MrNurse(x2) posted a topic in School

    I hate the buddy system of sending students to the nurse. Had a girl with a migraine that didn't abate with meds/ rest, sent her home. The chaperone comes back 20 minutes later saying she felt sick....
