  3. Advice: High school to middle school nurse

    kunaspud replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    I love Middle School. They are old enough to know names of their teachers, parents and to spell their own name. They are little enough that they still can have open minds and they love learning. But...

  7. Elementary vs. Middle School Nursing

    kunaspud replied to icepackstat's topic in School

    I agree! I'm lovin my sassy middle schoolers. They know their teacher's names and their parents phone numbers. They know if it is a stomach ache or nausea. And they don't cry if you give them sass...

  8. Happy Nurse's week.... I guess

    kunaspud replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    londonflo, I think school nurses get lumped in with the teachers for lower pay and other less than stellar perks of the job in education. At our "nurse's station" we are just venting about not getting...

  14. C'Mon Now!

    kunaspud replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

  17. Exclusion Guidelines- AHHH

    kunaspud replied to WyVy's topic in School

    kunaspud replied to jnemartin's topic in School

  23. Reaching my breaking point with middle schoolers

    kunaspud replied to nursex23's topic in School

    My complaint is with the teachers who send middle school students, their aides, to my office with instructions to bring back tyelnol or ibuprofen for them. In what universe would that be a good...
