Wow! I am so jealous! 26 for me.

We have a company that comes in each summer and does calibration on our scale, audiometer and vision screener. Costs about $160 for all three.

Double ditto! Last year they remembered me but it wasn't the same week as Teacher Appreciation Week. :( Maybe next year.

Happy School Nurse's Day!

OK I guess I'll be here the longest into the summer (but probably back the latest too) I have 34 left. But I am not complaining!

Thanks everyone. I will send home a note to mom. This child is 7 but only just entered school. He knows me well and feels comfortable with me and has come each time with his 1 on 1 aide or his...

God forbid I don't answer my phone while I'm assessing someone, doing screenings or helping someone then I get the look later and the "Why weren't you in your office". Makes me CRAZY some days.

I have a young student with autism who just entered my school a few months ago. I have tried on 2 occassions to have him do the hearing and vision screening but he will not allow it. I documented...

I don't have the option of getting paid in the the summer at my school but I am still considered employed so no unemployment. I have a little taken out each paycheck automatically and it goes into a...

I am so sad for what happenned and so angry this teacher thought it was ok to dump on you about it. They certainly have no clue about what we do, although I often find they want to tell me what to...

YES! For me it's more if they realize I'm tracking each time they come in to see me. They dont usually see me enter it into the computer but when a frequest flyer sees me write down each visit in a...

I have a blanket OTC form and LOVE it! In my state it must be signed by both the parents and the physician. It allows me to really help some kids when a little something will make their day tolerabe...

I have an old filac oral thermometer in my office that is dying so I need to purchase a new one. The new oral thermometers are so fast I'm thinking I'll go wtih that. Anyone have something...

A someone who came into a mess and had to work my way out of it (and I still am) my best piece of advice is not to stress about getting it all tackled and in order in a day, or a week or even by the...

congratulations!!!!

I bought some canvases and had my sons and nephews paint them anyway they wanted so I have kid friendly art up on my walls. Everyone loves them and it really warmed up the walls instead of them...

Is there currently a nurse there? If so I would see if you could come in for a day or so and see what they have in the office, some of their policies, etc. An outgoing school nurse could be a great...

Congratulations! Hope your start goes smoothly!

All of my days are certainly not that rewarding but the ones that are really remind me why I love being the School Nurse.

I am in NY and here an RN is required as well.

I just eyeball it too. I used to measure out 1 tsp in a about 4 oz water but now I don't measure it. I always know if their throat really hurts if they're willing to do the salt water gargle.

She should put these on the internet and charge for access. There is so little info out there for school nurses!!!!

Congrats on getting the job!

I would be very careful about which age kids you assume are aware of current events. I am a parent of a 3rd grader and he knows nothing about the recent events in CT. My kids schools are having...

In my state we only have to do Near Vision when a child enters school but I do it yearly at the same time that I do the distance screening. That said I am in a very small school so that makes it...
