How is this kid in school with chronic infestation? School nurse
s
It was a private nurse that found her - was the nurse - sm
hers or the baby's? Why have a private nurse in the first place? Seems a bit odd.
Call the school. I had a threat like this in my high school and they cancelled school that day.
Thankfully, because the person making the threats was found with material for home made pipe bombs and quit a bit of ammunition and a shotgun. He was arrested and charged. Never allowed back in the school.
I think it would be safer to call the school and get classes cancelled for a day to investigate versus make a scene in the parking lot, especially if the student with the knife is inside with the knife.
Good luck. If nothing happens, pull your child out of school for a week. See what happens. I know that sounds horrible, but small towns is where this happens most often.
sicko
Not to me either - MM is a sicko himself and I wouldn't believe anything he says. Did you see where he went with this? Definitely not to a reliable source, so why bother to watch? Definitely don't want to see it or anything else he spews. I thought of putting an icon on here, but there is no icon that is gagging, so I'm out of luck. !
Re: SICKO - smsg
 So has anyone seen the movie "Sicko" yet? Did you like it? Hate it? Find out anything new you didn't know about the health care industry? Do you think it'll open the public's eyes a little bit? Any particular part youy considered really shocking, etc.?
did anybody that saw SiCKO feel
France, Great Britan, Canada or Cuba even? Our system is barbaric here. I was amazed those Americans could walk into a CUBAN hospital and get such excellent care. Everyone says it is impossible here to have health care like they do but the answer is simple- stop providing money for needless wars and there will be money for the country's citizens. I really think the whole go into debt for your education theory is true...they don't WANT us to get ahead. Once again, Michael Moore is a genius.
The whole story is just sicko.......sm
I am not going to watch either, it makes me nauseous; they are all lunatics, including BW.
Lately she is so interested in sexual stuff, she makes herself ridiculous.
SICKO-the movie
Has anyone ever seen the movie SICKO? It is made by Michale Moore, who does all those documentary films. I usually don't like him, but if you watch this movie it will make you made. It made me cry. It is a movie about our nation's health care. It like totally blew me away and made me angry about the health care in this country. My company does offer health care, but even if I can make the line count to get it I still have to pay about $150 plus if I need medicine they may or may not cover it. It shows that plan about universal healthcare, which I thought was a bad thing, actually is very good. People in Canada, England, and France pay absolutely nothing. IN fact if I break my arm in Paris the hospital won't even charge me and I would be an American. WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!
Re: SICKO, the healthcare mess, etc.
Interesting video on YouTube - this guy says it simply & eloquently. He wants people to send him videos on the subject - anyone out there in MT with a PC-cam could certainly get the word out on the offshoring-of-medical-records to a HUGE audience in this way. Here's a link to the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8NDs4YuLXE
I saw SiCKO yesterday - it's a LAUGH-OUT-LOUD
very very eye-opening and it's truly laugh-out-loud funny, not terribly *political* in the sense that 911 movie was.....but REALLY really funny, interesting, and eye opening to say the least - best 2 hours I've had of late......
oh, it was 4:30 in the afternoon and the theater was full - I was surprised actually...and full of people of all ages, denominations, cultures, red state-blue state, et al.....all having an interest in what is going on here regarding healthcare.
TRULY not to be missed by all except children (who would get bored)!!
Leave your politics at home and go see Moore's best yet.....this is a human issue.......this particular movie.....
Poor fella...he must've just seen Sicko.
It's sure how I felt after watching that....
I tried to tell the nurse
no thanks, I don't want to weigh today, but she pestered me nonstop - come on, just get on the scale, oh come one, we need to weigh you, hop up there, on and on and wouldn't just walk me to the freakin room until I just gave in to save the embarrassment in front of everyone passing by....
When I worked as a nurse (sm)
There was this CNA who would open up the windows every time someone would die. I thought she was kooky (for many reasons), but she said it was to release the spirit of the person.
I'm not superstitious, but I won't eat beans more than 3 days in a row.
Do you have ask a nurse in your area?
I don't believe this is mental illness... it could be something else. In my area, you can call the local hospital's ask a nurse for free advice, and believe me they are there not to get more business, but to give good medical advice in case you need to really see someone. Bipolar is different. SOunds like getting older mixed with stress. I know I am that age with small children and I forget my glasses are on my head! But you definitely should seek medical advice because he might have a form of dementia, not necessarily Alzheimer, but maybe something which can take medication, vitamins, or a certain type of balanced diet with stress training. Good luck!
Mean nurse story
Had to share this story of a mean nurse. My aunt went in the hospital for a total hip replacement. She had the surgery and the following morning she was in bed sleeping. Her nurse came in and asked if she would like a sponge bath for her back. My aunt said no, I just took a shower before I came in last night and I'm in a lot of pain and would prefer to not even be touched. The nurse said of course she understood and asked if there was anything she could get her (pain meds, water, tissue, etc), my aunt said no thank you I'd just like to sleep for awhile. About 5 minutes later the supervising nurse came in and said to my aunt "you need to have a sponge bath". My aunt said I already told the nurse I don't want one. I just showered before I came in yesterday. The supervising nurse said "I don't care, you're going to get one whether or not you like it. Grab the side rails on the bed and roll onto your side". My aunt said she was screeming in so much pain she knew the people down the hallway could hear her. I was absolutely horrified to hear that a nurse could treat a patient so bad. My aunt ended up reporting her to her doctor and her doctor was mortified that a nurse would do that to a patient. Especially since my aunt had just taken a shower less than 24 hours before that. I wish I lived closer to her and if I was there at the time I would have given this lady a piece of my mind. I don't know what happened to the nurse. Hopefully she was transferred somewhere where she will have no patient contact - maybe the mortuary would be a good place for her! I don't care if a nurse or someone who has contact with patients are having a bad day or what. That is no excuse to treat a patient like that.
Get asked if I am a nurse
I've had several contacts with doctors who don't know me when taking my daughter to urgent care and also when I was in the hospital recently for surgery, and in talking with them about medical issues, they invariably ask me if I'm a nurse. I guess I sound like I know enough to be a nurse, but not enough to be a doctor, as they never ask if I am a doctor, LOL!
Adult photos are legal. FBI stepped in because the sicko had pics of a minor.

Post from main board ie Michael Moore movie Sicko
I have NO desire to see this movie, and I believe that it is just perpetuating and promoting what is going on in this county -- I recently suffered a broken leg and went to THE "county hospital, i.e., Jackson Memorial, in Miami/Dade County -- the ONLY reason that I even went there was because of the fact that my significant other did not understand that with my insurance through CHAMPUS that I could be seen at any or all hospitals in the Miami area -- as a side note, the ONLY time that I have been "turned down" is at a Kaiser facility as far as being seen as a CHAMPUS patient.
CHAMPUS is the major insurance carrier that serves our military and their familes once the service member is honorably discharged, retires from active duty or dies in active combat or retired.
What I endured at Jackson was little short of HORRENDOUS and I believe that if any of us were to be seen at a major medical facility, we would soon find this out.
Jackson Memorial is 1500 beds -- I was initially seen in their "Extreme Care" section -- I got there at 11:30 a.m. and was finally out of there at 11:30 p.m. In the meantime, I walked down to their radiology department because the ignoramous P.A. did not put me in a wheelchair or crutches after I told him that the ankle area had been bruised for a week even after I wrapped it, Epsom salts, ice packs etc -- guess their attitude was "oh well" -- sure enough, it was a fracture -- they lost my records and with my second appointment it was from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to be seen in their "Trauma Clinic" -- no docs, just residents,but tell you what, if you are of Hispanic descent, or poor -- BOY do you get preferential treatment -- needless to say, I am still in pain, with swelling, can't wear a shoe after the cast being off a week, and cannot get results -- I called the ER a bit ago and told them that I was going to be seen at a real hospital and that they could take their treatment and stick it
Bottom line is that patient care has TRULY gone down the toilet, whether it be a nurse, doctor or ANY kind of healthcare professional.
Being a wet nurse and breast-feeding a 6 yo
Competely different. I have been a wet nurse. I have several children. I've been a gestational surrogate. I have NOT, however, breast feed a 6-year-old. That is disgusting.
Awww...what a good nurse you are! Will say
s
No, Cybil the baby's nurse
is my niece. She reported this on Facebook this morning as she worked in the ICU. I thought I should post it as she requested to get the word out.
Local news story about nurse in ER SM
who was supposed to give patient 800 mg of Dilantin for a seizure and gave her 8000 mg instead, causing cardiac arrest.
The drug came in vials and she had to round up every vial on the floor to give this dose, never questioning it.
Mistakes happen, but this is just too bizarre.
I was under the impression they would have you nurse till the child is 5.

Mylanta - our doctor's nurse recommended (sm)
You can dab it on the spots. Also what works for us - depends on her age (you may have said, I missed it) is Campho-Phenique - it is not made for that necessarily and doesn't taste great but works well to take the sting out of any kind of mouth sores.
I hate those things- a nurse told me
when I asked about them at a doctor visit that obese people get them. I don't get the connection but have found that since I have lost about 70 pounds while I am still overweight the skin tags seem have gone away.
Advanced Practice Registered Nurse - not sure about BC?

I know, I also feel so sorry for the nurse who administered the meds (nm)

I'm a volunteer nurse at the free clinic
I do medical transcription for money and nursing for free. I've been a nurse since 2001, and I sometimes miss people! Unfortunately, since I've upped my hours at work, I haven't been able to volunteer for the last couple of months.
Doing the free clinic is not like actual nursing work in that there's no backstabbing and pettiness, just appreciation. It's scary, though, knowing what medical problems people have been having for days and have to wait for the free clinic day because they couldn't afford the doctor's office (or the hospital). However, the doctors who do volunteer have the free clinic patients come to their real clinic for free if they have an issue that can't be addressed at the church where the free clinic is located, like drainage of a cyst or something.
Anyway, I wish I had more time for it. *sigh*
Don't have to be a nurse to be a good scheduler, efficient office manager....sm
When I did this type of thing in addition to clinical duties, I knew from common sense that the doc could only see X amount of people, depending on if they were new patients, involved visits with procedures, etc, and planned accordingly. The doctors want to pack the schedule to make more money, and the "girls" (How I hated being called that "my girl") had to go along with it in many cases. But when I was office manager, I made sure I spaced accordingly, because guess who got to leave the office as soon as the last patient (the doctor), and guess who got to clean up examining rooms, clear up doctor's desk, answer all nonessential phone calls for them, close down the office, etc....me! The one making chump change.
Sounds like my kids...on a school day "we just got home from school!" on a vacation day....sm
But this is our vacation! My husband takes vacation days and leaves town without us...lol! He would never dream of taking a day off to work around the house!
Our old OB head nurse had to talk one lady out of naming her daughter Vagina, said she kept hearing

How is the school's fault if Johnny comes to school armed?
And how is the school's fault if off campus people are getting jumped? Everybody wants to blame the schools, but the reason places have gone "zero tolerance" is because every parent whose kid gets popped for an illegal weapon says, "Oh, my little pookie wouldn't do that." Which is exactly what the parents of every perpetrator of school violence has said. At 15, this girl should have been aware that it was verboten and, if they felt that strongly it was necessary, kept it hidden. If she is not capable of thinking that part through, maybe she shouldn't be trusted with pepper spray anyway.
Anybody see the movie Sicko yet? Important movie!
//
In our school district you can go to any school that you want
but you actually have to pay if you don't live in the District. The private schools here are outrageously priced. You could almost send your child to a community college for the amount they charge.
No, you are not a sicko. But if it is not lust', what is it then? I think it is lust,
but you are telling yourself it is not, because you think that lust is something bad. It's not your fault, blame it on your hormones or pheromones.
It becomes your fault, though, if you are obeying and following and do what your hormones or pheromones are telling you to do!
Job available at school.
Okay, I have been doing this for 8 years. I think I should be more productive than I am for that much experience. I only do between 1200 to 1300 lines a day. I am also just so tired of it. Today, the hospital's network is very very slow and that certainly doesn't help me and I have to make up the time while my kids are at home which is not very easy...KWIM. Again, just tired of it.
There is a job opening available at DD. elemetry school about an elementry teacher aide. It has no specific qualifications just send resume to the superintendent. Well, I looked online and it seems the basic requirements are HS diploma, good understanding of children, good physical condition. I match that. I am a mother of 2, my 5 yo was at the top of her class last year (might be a good qualification for me), I referreed fights etc., supervised dd and her friends on outings, babysat school age kids.
I am just thinking of things that might qualify me for the job. I have kept this job for 8 years, the job before that was 6 years as a nurses aide at another hospital so longevity might be a plus. I have never worked anywhere except a hospital. Well, I did work for an MTSO for a short time, 6 months.
There is a number I could call. It is voice mail. I was going to call and ask exactly what are they looking for so I would know whether or not to bother with it but I am not very good at asking for something I need. Any suggestions, comments. TIA.
School
I would be livid! Go through the principal, (complain loudly) on how embarrassed your daughter was, etc. You'll get results I'm sure. As a last resort, get a doctor's excuse.
School
I am 56 and working on my third degree. I love going to school, and I think the older I get, the more it helps keep me sharp. You might try asking a local college about scolarship opportunities. Some of them have special programs geared for women.
My take is WHY did the school let a
freshman take a senior course? Advanced or not, she probably does not have the background to be able to keep up with it. My daughter is also a freshman and took Algebra II in 8th grade, so they automatically put her in geometry. There is no way I would have let her take a physics class now.
re: school
I am a mom of two teenage boys and I do not think the school should have been the ones to punish the child since it didn't take place at the school from school computers or on school property. It is the parent's responsibility to reprimand the child when something is done by their child in the home. Since the teacher found out about it, that teacher should have called the parent and should have allowed the parent to take the appropriate action. Teachers should not under any circumstances have the authority to reprimand children at home under their parent's care. Only when something like this happens from school, on school property, from a school computer should the teacher have that authority. I used to work in a public school and there are boundaries as to how far teachers should go. The rest is up to parents!
We met at school
Best friend's boyfriend at that time and I absolutely could not stand him!
Then we ended up kind of *stuck* together when we went out with a group of friends. Somehow we just clicked and from that first night, I knew we were going to be together forever! That night while all the other couples were making out like crazy, he and I just sat on a playground slide and talked. Then at the end of the night, he kissed me on the cheek...I knew right then I was hooked. We've been married 21 years, have 3 children, and are expecting our first grandchild in August!!! Aww, whatta love story 
I don't know what everyone's school districts
are like, but I don't have any of these problems. Even at our old house that was in a little more of a low-income area, the school was okay. I noticed a huge difference in the kids and the parents over there though, but I have had no problems with my kids in public school.
They both are testing above average. My daughter is in K and has a sheet she is to work on all month and then turn in, nothing too serious. My son usually does his homework/reading on the bus or spends about 30 minutes at the most completing it when he gets home.
Maybe I am just lucky that they both excel without any pushing from me or the school or I just am in a great school district, although I know we are in the best in Texas. My son does have some anger problems sometimes and a few problems with self-control. We work on this and I think the idea about the martial arts is an excellent one. In fact, we are looking at places to enroll him out here. He is pushing to go back to gymnastics though, so we will see. Honestly, I think any extracurricular activity that is in a nurturing environment is a good idea for every kid.
Public school
I have a granddaughter in the mountains of North Carolina in the fifth grade, who has teachers from you know where.. They should not be in a school setting. One used four letter words and they were not love. They will not go out with the students at recess, so it is a free for all with three to five grades out there all at once. There is bullying and if she says anything, the teacher says she is squealing. I don't think when your knees are bleeding from being knocked down, it is squealing. The third grade was awful. They finally got her moved out of there into another class and the teacher was wonderful. That was about three months before the year was over and that was because they went to the superintendent of schools. Next year was bad and this year is the worse. The teacher tells the student she cannot believe the students are that ignorant, loses papers the students turn in and then gives them a zero. Her mother saved her papers and showed them to the teacher and she had some phony excuse, like she had so many papers to correct. Teachers are supposed to do that. The teacher also has a teacher's aide three times a week and there are only 15 students in the class. She also calls my granddaughter a liar when she says she turned her papers in. She says my granddaughter is to lazy to do the work. My granddaughter loves school, is on the honor roll and would have made the principal's list had the teacher not lost three papers that my granddaughter had turned and gave her the grade she deserved instead of giving her a zero three times. Don't say go to the school and the principal. When they go, the teacher acts so nice and after they leave, she picks on my granddaughter and tells her not to go home and tell her parents things that are not true. The principal does nothing. They have her on a list for a private school and after paying taxes, no one should have to pay to go to a private school, but that is what you have to do. I cannot believe that all the parents do not get together and descend on the principal's office. My granddaughter loves school but not this year because of the teacher. Cannot wait for the year to be over. She has been humiliated in front of her classmates and when a classmate tries to stand up for her and tell the teacher she is not talking or doing any of what the teacher says she is doing, she tells the classmates not to try to take any sides. She is a very loving, sweet, and intelligent girl and what she has to go through every day, makes my skin crawl. When school is out, I am going to write the principal, the teacher and the superintendent of schools and tell them what I think of their teachers. If they did away with tenure, maybe the teachers would take their work more seriously. I never worked for a company that told me if I stayed with them for 10 years, I could not be fired. Ridiculous. The principal does not like to report anything is wrong because in the reports they have to send to the state board of education, the more problems the school has, the less money they get, so they do not report anything is wrong. Report cards were given out Friday and the teacher wrote that she was a very good student, and a pleasure to have her in the class. Why write that when all you do is pick on her. To protect herself when things get tough. Thank you for letting me vent.
church school
Well, I didn't say the ONLY place to find teachers who care is at a church school, and I certainly don't believe that. I do think your chances of finding them in a church school are a whole lot higher, however. I didn't intend to create a religious argument either. I was genuinely interested in why you would not want your children in a church school.
Public School
My husband and I have two special needs children and homeschooling was the best thing we could have ever done for them. My oldest child is learning up a storm and my youngest child is going to start being home-schooled next year. We both work full-time and we still find time to homeschool. It does not take as much time as you would think. There is just you teaching your kids and it goes a lot faster and they learn faster. We thought we could not homeschool, but we were forced to as the public school did nothing for our son and now nothing for our other child. You can do more than you think you can if you have to. Good luck!
Many phases during school
I was gothish for a while myself. Doesn't sound she's been doing it too long if she was asking for different makeup last summer. I dressed goth even longer than I really felt like just because my parents rode my butt about it.
I used to be school room Mom
There is a game where you put items in a paper bag like combs, hair things, rubberbands, paper clips, ect. The child is blindfolded or put the bag of goodies behind the back. Let the child reach into the bag and try to guess what he pulls out without looking. Decorating cupcakes is also fun. Take cupcakes or cookies to school and let the kids be creative. Around Xmas we did gingerbread type houses out of gram crackers and icing. Let them make valentine cards for a parent/friend out of paper and allow them to glue on glitter that sort of thing. Good luck!
Another school rule...
just another reason I am glad I homeschool!
A local school district just informed the students via announcement over the PA system that "Farting" in class can now result in AEP placement! I couldn't believe it so I've questioned some of the kids that go there. All I've questioned say yes, that's what they said.
How stupi*d can you get?
New School Rules
 Not every child does this for attention. If you had read the post -- you do know how to read right? The original poster stated that her child has a medical condition! I think it is wrong to punish a child for doing something that a body does naturally especially if it is due to a medical condition! There are a lot of good teachers out there and a lot of not so good teachers. There are a lot that need to get back to teaching instead of worrying about this sort of thing. If you ignore it -- children will not do it because it did not bring about the attention they sought to get. And if it is due to a medical condition the teacher will have to deal with it! I have GERD and my stomach makes noises all day long. Are you going to come after me too?
New school rules.
My children do not do any of these things to the best of my knowledge. They do not do it at home because they were taught that it is rude, but if it happens to say excuse me which I believe is the polite thing to do. I have never heard of them doing this in school either. However, I do believe that if a child has a medical problem he/she can politely say excuse me and should not be punished. I'm not saying it is proper behavior -- just that if it happens the child can say excuse me. At my daughter's school not all of the teachers allow children to leave the classroom during class to use the bathroom. I don't agree with that either. I guess that makes me a monster.
Anyone who has just finished school
would be more apt to pass the CMT test. However, to say that would eliminate "toilet errors" is not the way I see it. Someone with a lot of years experience in this field is just as good as a CMT if not better. Passing a test and putting initials after your name means nothing when it comes to work ethic, discipline, and experience. I just think if you have 9 years of experience, you are going to be just as attractive as someone with a CMT. It seems to me companies or physicians seek well-rounded MTs that have experience in quite a few specialties as opposed to having CMT after your name. I am not so sure physicians are aware of this testing process, but the Nationals seem to have bitten on it, but I'm not so sure it gets you any more money. I've read posts where it does not gain you anything more than something else to put on the resume. If you want to become more attractive, then I'd say branch out into more specialties or may be even take a business course to expand your knowledge. CMT, in my opinion, is a waste of money especially when you have verbatim accounts and the client is always right, no matter what "the books" or for that matter AAMT has to say about the way it should be done. Just another opinion.
