First Aid Kits for Teachers/Office Staff. What do you put in yours?


Hi all!

I just started work as a school nurse last week. I wanted to get together a list of supplies to put into first aid kits to put in the teacher's rooms and the office. I was wondering what other school nurses were putting in theirs' to give to staff?

My list:
Bandaids
Alcohol swabs
Gloves
Sterile Gauze
Adhesive tape

Thanks!

I put:

Written instructions on how/when to use kit-- laminated
Band-aids
Gauze
2 pairs of gloves
a snack size zip-lock bag (in case a student looses a tooth)
Antiseptic wipes

Personally, I would not put tape. I doubt the teacher/staff would ever use or need it.

All mine get is band aids and one pair of gloves. Anything more serious than a paper cut I want to see with my own eyes. I do not trust the judgment of some of these teachers!!!

Mine get bandaids, gloves, a few 2 X 2 pieces of gauze and an antiseptic wipe in a ziplock bag. The teachers that need more (like the cooking teacher-think sharp knives) ask me for what they need. Also the office gets some pads/tampons in case I'm not around when they are needed.

I put one pair of gloves, wipes, bandaides, safety pins, tooth keepers, pupil referral slips, and this year I included some peppermints.
