Sep 9, 20169 yr K-5enrollment-350daily visits- around 40-not including med or procedures- with around 4 of them being actual reasons to see the nurse Meds are amazingly light this year!- 5 daily (between 2 kiddos)-knock on wood- and about 8 gym day inhalers
Sep 9, 20169 yr PK - 5200 kids enrolled,4 ADHD meds, 2 T1DMseeing about 25-30 total each day, most of which could be handled in the classroom if the teachers would just take the band aids! Paper cuts, picked scabs really don't need the nurses attention during lunch
Sep 9, 20169 yr PreK-12 schoolEnrollment ~ 650Daily med visits - 16 (was at 25 at the end of last year, so I expect more to trickle in) + 1 T1D studentDaily office visits 20-40, really varies

Sep 9, 20169 yr Junior High grades: 6-8 enrollment: 1100 daily kid count (not including scheduled visits): ~40-50 daily meds/procedures: 15
Sep 9, 20169 yr K-12 in the same building? That must make for an interesting dynamic. (And widely varying visits, too.) - Never a dull day!! I see way more elementary kids that older ones. My high schoolers are pretty self sufficient. Unless they are truley sick - high temps/vomiting - they tend to fend for themselves. I guess its just not cool to come to the nurse for icepacks and bandaids once you move upstairs with the big kids
Sep 9, 20169 yr Middle school 6-8. Enrollment is about 800 and we see about 30-40 kids a day (not including meds). About a dozen kids need daily meds and I have 2 diabetics who come several times a day to check and correct.
Sep 9, 20169 yr K-8 private school 315 enrolled average 40 visits/day totalonly 2 daily meds this year 1 diabetic student check at lunch
Sep 9, 20169 yr Pre-K through 2840 Students60-70 visits a day, not including 14 daily meds and one T1DM (3 visits a day). Daily meds will usually increase after first report cards go home.

Sep 9, 20169 yr Experts Too darn many that's for sure; the platinum level of the frequent flier club is growing.
Sep 9, 20169 yr My days vary quite a bit. I rotate through the schools in my district. At some schools, I rarely see anyone. At others...in addition to walk ins there is always some project LOL (vision screenings, head checks). I think in one of my schools I've seen ONE child (screen for head lice)...and that is it...So, I use the time I spend at that school for administrative tasks such as verifying immunizations. I am the only nurse so I often get called a way from the site I am at to assess an "urgent" issue at another school (although I am getting better at phone triage now that it is clear that I am really NOT needed in person...If it "might be broken" call the parents and have them take for an xray...I am a Super Nurse but I don't have xray vision ROFL)# of Students: ~2500 in the districtGrades: PK-12 (4 different school sites; 6 separate schools)Daily kid count: 0-60
