1. UAS RN or home health nurse for a mom?

   SchlNrsKrn replied to Boppityboop's topic in General Specialties

   What about School Nursing? If you are looking for school hours-School Nursing also has you off on weekends and school breaks.

2. Average Weekly Salary

   SchlNrsKrn posted a topic in Camp

   I am trying to staff an overnight Summer activity and wanted to get an idea of the average salary a camp nurse makes for comparison. Any help is appreciated!

3. EMR

   SchlNrsKrn posted a topic in School

   Anyone currently using Frontline EMR (previously Health Office Anywhere)? I have some questions about how to accomplish some tasks on there that we can't figure out. Thanks!

4. Quarantine violation & preschool attendance

   SchlNrsKrn replied to noneYet's topic in School

   C is a "contact of a contact" and per my county guidelines, no further action is required unless the contact (Re) develops symptoms or tests positive. I believe most are doing it the same. See below example from NYS (not where I am, but the quicke...

5. EMR--what do you use?

   SchlNrsKrn replied to Csn2016's topic in School

   Thanks Ohiobobcat! Another question-is it possible to "narrow down" reports for specific things-for example, can you run a report that will show how many 2nd graders who were seen for vomiting?

6. EMR--what do you use?

   Question for SNAP users-looking at this software now. For Immunization entry, do you have to select the immunization from the drop-down menu for each immunization, or does live version have immunizations for your state "preloaded" so that you just en...

7. Hearing & Vision screens PRE-K

   SchlNrsKrn replied to KH_RN6's topic in School

   I have been at Pre-K for 20 years. Texas required puretone for hearing screenings, so we have Abmco 650AB. I do conditioned play where they place a block in a box when they hear the tone. I use HTOV for vision, and I usually wait until we come bac...

8. Cervical Spinal Stenosis Help

   SchlNrsKrn replied to UrbanHealthRN's topic in School

   Just my two cents.......why is it your responsibility to get an updated restriction/release from restriction letter? The parent is the one who brought you the initial restriction letter and are dealing directly with these doctors in their offices fac...

9. Measles!! No MMR #2 advice

   SchlNrsKrn replied to schoolnurse1118's topic in School

   3 options (I'm in Texas too): Get titers drawn: if good, this would take care of it forever Medical exemption: letter from MD stating medical reason student can't have immunization, must get new letter every year unless letter states "lifelong exempt...

10. Judgement being questioned

    SchlNrsKrn replied to GertieGrantRN's topic in School

    You can remind them that part of the school nurses job isn't to send kids home, it's to keep them in school if they are well enough to learn.

11. Vision and Hearing

    SchlNrsKrn replied to jess11RN's topic in School

    Nope. No reason to do now if you are going to be doing again in first few weeks of school-and especially if doing in spring won't count towards their required K screening-double work for little benefit. Adding-I'm at a 500+ student Pre-K. Screening...

12. Hearing Test Help

    SchlNrsKrn replied to UrbanHealthRN's topic in School

    UrbanHealthRN- Been doing Pre-k for 20 years now-screening 500+ 4 year olds each year-good times! I've had great success with conditioned play audiometry-I have a box of plain wood 1" blocks (cause I've learned they need to be the same, lest you run...

13. Hearing Test Help

    SchlNrsKrn replied to UrbanHealthRN's topic in School

    You may want to check your states guidelines for hearing screening. The Ero-Scan DPOAE is an otoacoustic emissions screener, and is generally not the first line device for general hearing screenings. In Texas, the only accepted method is pure to...

14. SPOT Screener

    SchlNrsKrn replied to OldDude's topic in School

    Old Dude-I've got 550 4 year olds to screen.....Photoscreeners are mixed bag....We got the PlusOptix a few years ago and have been trying to figure out how to best utilize it. Data entry to allow us to save all screenings (to print out reports) is c...
