1. When is everyone *supposed* to go back?

   IsItFridayYetRN replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

   Same!! So stressed ?

   IsItFridayYetRN replied to guest464345's topic in School

   I think that the anxiety isn't just bad for the teachers- it's bad for the teachers, parents, paraprofessionals, physical therapists, cafeteria workers, speech therapists, etc., as well as nurses like myself (who are responsible for over 1,000 studen...

3. List of questions and requests

   IsItFridayYetRN replied to guest464345's topic in School

   Thanks for this, @Flare! Some great info to consider.

4. Does your office have running water?

   IsItFridayYetRN replied to seedanurse's topic in School

   Nope sure doesn’t. Pretty disgusting, right??

5. Does your office have running water?

   IsItFridayYetRN replied to seedanurse's topic in School

   The girls restroom is next door to my office which was the theory into moving me where I currently am. But I’ve tried to explain to administration that it’s not really always feasible (or sanitary) for me to go with soiled hands to the restroom next ...

6. Does your office have running water?

   IsItFridayYetRN replied to seedanurse's topic in School

   Mine does not have running water which worries me on a normal year, even more so this year. I totally feel you. Going through many of the same feelings myself.

7. Type of mask or face covering?

   IsItFridayYetRN replied to IsItFridayYetRN's topic in School

   WOW!, that's awesome. No word about the district purchasing anything for the nurses. I guess I'll have to start shopping around! Yes, I agree with you. Hot spot here also. I will check out Ebay! Thanks for the input!

8. Type of mask or face covering?

   IsItFridayYetRN replied to IsItFridayYetRN's topic in School

   Yes, I’m dreading it as well. My school is already out of control with teachers sending kids mainly to get them out of their own hair. The majority of what I see are classroom management issues and not really sick kids. Addressed with my administrati...

9. inhaler use during covid

   IsItFridayYetRN replied to ro2878's topic in School

   I love how the district states all of these rooms that we need while knowing how the clinic is set up. I love when I hear school nurses use the term "clinic", because I think in my head those must be nice. My office is a little bigger than a closet a...

10. Type of mask or face covering?

    IsItFridayYetRN replied to IsItFridayYetRN's topic in School

    Thanks for the input. No guidance here, either. The not knowing is driving me crazy! Thanks for the info- researching now! What about goggles or face shields? Should we be wearing these when doing simple tasks such as looking at sore throats?

11. Type of mask or face covering?

    IsItFridayYetRN replied to IsItFridayYetRN's topic in School

    Yes, it does, thanks! Our district has not announced yet who will man the isolation room (which I do not even know where this will be yet at my school) but we were told that it will not be the nurse. So, I am presuming from what little info I've gott...

12. Type of mask or face covering?

    IsItFridayYetRN posted a topic in School

    My Fellow School Nurses, What kind of mask/face covering/ PPE are you planning to wear for yourself daily in the coming school year? I'm not sure if I should purchase surgical masks, fabric masks, etc. Should we double mask? And what about face shiel...

    IsItFridayYetRN replied to guest464345's topic in School

    Yes, Yes, Yes! To all of this above! We are supposed to begin first week of August, but so many details still up in the air. Will be a year for the record books, for sure!!

14. So if they open no matter what...

    IsItFridayYetRN replied to guest464345's topic in School

    I'm nervous as well. I would be in what's considered a "high risk" category, which makes me even more scared about getting coughed all over all day long. My office is tiny and I do not know how possible it is to distance in there! Not to mention the ...

15. SO nervous about upcoming year :(

    IsItFridayYetRN replied to Incognito-lpn's topic in School

    I'm also very nervous. Our district just released guidelines, but our nursing department has given us ZERO word on how the nurses fit into this whole process. I know that there is still a month before school is going to begin, but the not knowing all...
