  2. Things that make me grumpy

    momto5RN replied to Flare's topic in School

    I have another!! A lot of my students do this. They bumped some part of their body...elbow, knee, etc. No swelling, no bruising...nothing. But it hurts so bad and they need an ice pack now. Then I see...

    momto5RN replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Thank you all!! Still no baby yet and I'm getting so discouraged. Fifth baby too. And I totally agree about the bonding empathy between other school nurses. That's why my first day on leave I thought...

    momto5RN replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I get this. But my issue is kind of the opposite. I worked in a sub acute rehab at night before I did school nursing. I was a new nurse and took whatever position I could get. But unfortunately I...

  5. Things that make me grumpy

    momto5RN replied to Flare's topic in School

    Thought of one more but all of the above has happened to me as well. So glad I'm not alone on any of this. But I have some issues with other parents who are also nurses and will say things to me when...

  6. Things that make me grumpy

    momto5RN replied to Flare's topic in School

    Seriously could not have said it better myself!!!! The parents not cooperating about sending in physical forms, vaccine records, med orders, etc. Some will go on and on, "I've sent those in already!"...

  7. Most off the wall complaint

    momto5RN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Does anyone else get a lot of invisible "boo-boos?" A lot of children are sent to me with the smallest little scratch that you need a magnifying glass to see or there is nothing even there. And the...

  8. Most off the wall complaint

    momto5RN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

  11. Not all heros wear capes

    momto5RN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    This is hysterical!!! Today I had a student come to me because and I quote, "my mouth feels slimy." Okay, not really sure how to treat that...go drink some water and toughen up

  12. All was well until the end of the day

    momto5RN posted a topic in School

    So today was going relatively well. Got a headstart on weight/height screenings before going on maternity leave next week. Then literally five minutes before the darn bell rings, I am bombarded with a...

  13. Accidents/Change of clothes

    momto5RN replied to nyy2's topic in School

    Oh how I love teachers like that! I have had a good share of the younger grades having accidents lately. My extra clothes stash is limited as well and I do the same as you, I let the parent and...

    momto5RN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Wow, that is eventful for sure!! Sorry you had to deal with that and of all places on a bus away from your office. Sounds like something that would happen to me or even with my own kids driving...

    momto5RN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I had a similar kindergarten student at the beginning of September do this as well. She was also like this in preschool but it eventually stopped. It was frustrating trying to figure out what to do...
