    scuba nurse replied to Hnurse101's topic in General Nursing

    At a hospital I worked at once, they put the computers on wheels as well, and they were called "COWS", well we were told we couldn't call them that anymore because it was "offensive"....to who we were...

    scuba nurse replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

    CONGRATS! that is awesome!!!! I like the water bottle idea as well! But as PTO president at my kids school, we just bought the gym teachers 50 pairs of snow shoes! Not sure if you have snow, but...

  3. Confidentiality

    scuba nurse replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    Can you ask the front office staff yourself, to call you before sending down a parent? Mine does this, which is very helpful in small space. Hopefully you have a good relationship with the front desk...

    scuba nurse replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

  8. First day back off holiday break....

    scuba nurse replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    WOW, you have a long time off! LUCKY!! The only good thing about the school I am now, is that it was built in 1800's so no separate room for a gym or a cafeteria! And outdoor space is limited as well...

  9. Almond milk

    scuba nurse posted a topic in School

    Quick question: do you allow almond milk in your "nut aware" classrooms? Students eat breakfast and lunch in the classroom. We just got a new student and he brings his own almond milk as he is lactose...

    scuba nurse replied to BCgradnurse's topic in General Nursing

  16. Illness and School Concerts

    scuba nurse replied to denstar's topic in School

    DITTO, I generally don't go to after school/evening stuff (I have too much stuff going on with my own kids!). Plus it is NOT required. So if a sick kid comes, then it is up to the principal or teacher...

  17. Inappropriate Behavior?

    scuba nurse replied to chesanurse's topic in General Nursing

  18. Field Trips

    scuba nurse replied to MrsK_Nurse's topic in School

  22. Lovable Parents

    scuba nurse replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    I love the phone calls when I say to the parent "well, I do not really think Snowflake is sick, but I would give her an Emmy award if I had one, because she is doing some great acting!"

  23. We've talked about this a million times...

    scuba nurse replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    This drives me crazy as well, I feel like saying to the teacher "so basically you DO NOT want this child in class today, right?". But alas, if I said everything I wanted to I wouldn't have a job! LOL...

  25. Medication Mishap

    scuba nurse replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I also want to know, can you REALLY trust the secretary? The other day you posted that you didn't get along, maybe she just said that she threw it away, so she can get you in trouble. Did you look in...
