Daily kid count

[BunnyBunnyBSNRN, ASN, BSN]

Out of curiosity, how many kids, including your daily meds, do you see everyday? Also, what is your school's enrollment and what grade levels do you have?

my info:

Elementary school

grades: K-5

enrollment: 877

daily kid count, including meds: 55-60

daily meds: 20 (all but two are ADHD)

K-5

enrollment-350

daily 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

[abc123RN]

PK - 5

200 kids enrolled,

4 ADHD meds, 2 T1DM

seeing 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

[Eleven011]

PreK-12 school

Enrollment ~ 650

Daily med visits - 16 (was at 25 at the end of last year, so I expect more to trickle in) + 1 T1D student

Daily office visits 20-40, really varies

Daily office visits 20-40, really varies

K-12 in the same building? That must make for an interesting dynamic. (And widely varying visits, too.)

grades: 6-8

enrollment: 1100

daily kid count (not including scheduled visits): ~40-50

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

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.

K-8 private school

315 enrolled

average 40 visits/day total

only 2 daily meds this year

1 diabetic student check at lunch

[mom to many]

Pre-K through 2

60-70 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.

Too darn many that's for sure; the platinum level of the frequent flier club is growing.
