I have again questions for you fellow school nurses. In the beginning of the school year, I sent out emails to parents regarding medication policy. One specific detail I wrote was that students will go to the nurse office/clinic and take the medication there.
I have three students in middle school and high school that needs to take medicine after lunch daily. There are times that they remember coming to my office before going to their class after lunch but most of the time, i need to call them out of their classrooms. In short, I go after the students and there are times I would miss giving the medicine due to another student sick in my office or they are somewhere else.
I would like to know how you guys do this. Do you have some kind of system that gets the child to your office? Or do you go out and find the students? Regular school schedule is fine but there's a lot of activities going on now that places the students somewhere else not in their classroom.
