  1. C'Mon Now!

    Running Cat Lady replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I was notified yesterday that a parent (middle school) managed to talk admin into letting their student utilize the restroom in my office any time they need it. Reasoning? The student restrooms are so...

  2. How many kids do you see in a day?

    Running Cat Lady replied to RNLisaC's topic in School

    At my primary school (jr high) I see maybe 20 a day on a busy day. Elementary school tends to be busier, one of the elementary schools I used to regularly visit in the past gets at least 30 kids a day...

  3. School Nurse Salary?

    Running Cat Lady replied to kegreat's topic in School

    I live in a low COL area of California. I am a non-credentialed school nurse (RN) so I'm basically paid LVN wages. I primarily do first aid and med administration. I am not involved in any care plans...

  4. High school nurses

    Running Cat Lady replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    I was talking to my supervisor about this. I stay in middle school because I barely tolerate the lower elementary school grades, I'm only ok with 5th and 6th and that's it. She said high school is "so...

  5. The "Best" Nurse Pass Notes

    Running Cat Lady replied to WineRN's topic in School

    Have you seen her instgram? It's all run of the mill blackheads with the occasional giant lipoma or cyst. I can't believe people get so excited over plain jane blackheads. I'm all over those cysts...

  6. Preparation for new middle school nurse

    Running Cat Lady replied to RNTexas13's topic in School

    I think this is a rad age group. They are challenging and

  7. The "Best" Nurse Pass Notes

    Running Cat Lady replied to WineRN's topic in School

    Is the pimple like Dr Pimple Popper big? Because that stuff is

  8. The "Best" Nurse Pass Notes

    Running Cat Lady replied to WineRN's topic in School

    I leave before school lets out so front office has to field a few kids themselves. They leave me a copy of the pass so I can log it. Came in this morning "observed student not being able to...

  9. My Arm Touched the Walll!

    Running Cat Lady replied to villageRN's topic in School

    I have a PE teacher (middle school) that frequently sends me old injuries "Mr PE says I need to have this cleaned" and it's a three day old scabbed knee. I just happened an hour ago I asked the...

  10. Sweet, Honey

    Running Cat Lady replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    That is creepy. Also, I hate when people play with my hair. I don't find it soothing or comforting like some do. On the floor people would walk right up and grab my ponytail. They would get their hand...

  11. The Pacer Test

    Running Cat Lady replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Our district is part of university study testing this theory out! This is the final year of this multi year project. It's not all grades or all schools, just a select few but I have the pleasure of...

  12. Does this fall under "my job"?

    Running Cat Lady replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    Just had this come up at work. No we are not responsible for calling and asking if the kid had their medication that day. Principal or teacher can call. We can call and verify that kid didn't get...

  13. The Pacer Test

    Running Cat Lady replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I think my current school does some version of the pacer and they also make them run a mile every once in a while. The middle school I was at last year would make them run a mile but not announce it...

  14. Essential oils

    Running Cat Lady replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    This is

  15. Essential oils

    Running Cat Lady replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    Ugh, my husband likes the smell of patchouli oil. I blame this on living in Oregon while in

  16. Office location

    Running Cat Lady replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    My current office is inside the main office. My only gripe is the office managers office is an inner office inside my office. So subs unfamiliar with this school always walk up to me in the morning...

  17. What languages do you speak?

    Running Cat Lady replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I grew up speaking Spanish but my Mexican born mother but the kibosh on that once school decided that bilingual = remedial learner. She was insulted. My grandparents didn't really know English so they...

  18. C'Mon Now!

    Running Cat Lady replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I had an 8th grade asthmatic (and known malingerer) come to me breathing kind of fast "I can't catch my breath. You can call my mom but I don't know what she can do for me." Clear breath sounds, O2...

  19. Kids doing this on purpose?

    Running Cat Lady replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I treated a wonderful goose egg on a students head thanks to 6th grade "trust falls". Principal shut that down real quick. Also, in middle school, I was handing a student an ice pack and noticed a...

  20. Need some advice on nursing programs in the central valley

    Running Cat Lady replied to Stefani89's topic in California Nursing

    I feel like everyone forgets that Porterville College has an RN program. I did their LVN program and the LVN-RN bridge program. Got into both on my first try. Never had a problem getting into classes....

  21. When is your Spring Break

    Running Cat Lady replied to 1mrsbs's topic in School

    April 10-17th It seems late in the year for some

  22. Another dreaded head lice post. This one's about treatment.

    Running Cat Lady replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    I just had a neighbor complain that it was the schools fault that her four boys caught lice. She did four rounds of treatment before giving in and shaving all their heads. She was the one who noticed...

  23. Absences yesterday?

    Running Cat Lady replied to tining's topic in School

    Nothing significant in my school district. The school district my mother works in had up to 50% absent in some schools. She works in my hometown which is predominantly Hispanic and/or migrant workers...

  24. What to do this summer...

    Running Cat Lady replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Clearly I lack everyone's ambition. I am spending my summer not working, sitting in a chair on the shelf of my pool watching my kids swim. Oh, and we'll go to Maine for two

  25. School nurse in CA

    Running Cat Lady replied to Syane's topic in School

    Why do you need a masters? The only credentialed school nurse in my district with a masters is our director. She has a masters in education. You can apply for a preliminary credential, here's the link...
