Desperate for Inservice info!!!!!

[nurse chel]

Help!!! I need to find out where I can get info on Inservices. I am a school nurse at a boarding school for high risk kids (drugs/alcohol) and I need to do 6 inservices for the rest of the school staff this year! Can anyone out there help me?!! ( FYI- we have 2 diabetic kids on campus)

You can get 3 out of the way easily. We are required to do "Bloodborne Pathogens", "Heimleich", and "Lyme Disease" with our staff. Those are pretty straight forward. You can order a video for the BBPathogens (20 min) that is appropriate for school staff. Heimliech is a 10 minute quickie. Lyme disease is just doing a little research. Ask the principal about topics or poll the staff on what they would like to know about. Good Luck!
