Well...?

I start 8/30, but I get 30 paid hours over the summer for sports clearances and the like.

kidzcare was in NYC, but I didn't get a chance to see her!:down:

The Kid graduated. We are headed to take them both to college later this week!

Hope to see new faces, as well as my buddies! Missed you all!

Start back the 30th. Kids come back Tuesday after Labor Day. Year 14 of school nursing. Year 31 of nursing. Yes, we have PowerSchool. I really like the program. Seems like they add more to it each year so I'm always learning, but it's easy to use. Great year, everyone!

Gangs all here...

We started back 2 weeks ago and I've been running 100mph already(feels like it). When is Summer Break (jk)?

New students and new "PowerSchool" electronic record keeping equal major confusion.

Anyone else have PowerSchool?

Let's have a great year!í ½í¸‡

Power School - I hate it! We use it here and my son;t school uses it so I get to use it professionally and as a parent. My DSO just spent a riveting week at "Power School University" and apparently it IS a good program, but the fact that she had to attend 5 days of 8 hour long per day trainings to learn all it could do, tells me I will never be able to make full use of the program.

Do I count as one? LMAO!

I returned to work 7/21, kids showed up 8/14. Been a good, but tiring first week

SO many new friends!!!

Welcome to all of you newbies!

Specializes in Pediatrics, school nursing.

Here! I returned to work "officially" on the 9th, and students started on the 16th. It's my 5th year as a school nurse, and 1st year to start on a 9th-grade campus (I switched in December). My personal kids are in 4th and 11th grade, and we're excited for the year. We do have a whole new version of eSchool Plus, and a new online registration system for the parents, so my blue health information sheets went away. I now get to print them out, instead. We also have a new medication permission form, so lots of changes this year. Welcome to all the newbies!

I am here. Grudgingly so. Been back for 2 weeks.

We had an AWESOME summer. Worked as a camp nurse in Pennsylvania for 4 weeks which was so cool and my kids LOVED LOVED LOVED being at camp. Hoping to make it an annual tradition. Then we spent 3 awesome days in NYC where SOMEONE (*cough* Far *cough*) overslept and couldn't meet up with us. But we did all kinds of touristy things and made tons of memories!

Ready for this year! (172 days until summer)

Hi all, My name is Tony!

I start 8/23; this will be my first time as a School Nurse, specifically for elementary. I have put in some research time, however I wanted to hear from you all. What are some important things to consider going into elementary school nursing? Any and all opinions and thoughts are welcomed:)
