Hi everyone! I am a nurse at a private school for children with autism and other developmental delays. We just hired a second nurse as our student # and the acuity increased. How do you guys document with multiple nurses? We travel to classrooms to administer medications with our treatment cart, as well as provide care in the office. We are currently charting by paper (hoping to change that soon...) so to have one office log for two people in two separate places seems silly! Any suggestions?

My wife and I co-nurse our small private. We use SNAP and it is very reasonable, at $315 per year to lease. You could install it on 2 laptops for med pass and dual access. Intuitive for learning, we taught ourselves through their videos.

Here's another example of teaching an old dog a new trick; I'm going with your wife did the teaching while reminding you to sit and pay attention - probably even rewarded you with a saltine.

they just dropped the bomb on me - "We're looking into Care Dox"

I ask very little around here... i like the way i chart. please don't change it because you want to save a few hundred dollars. My efficiency will go in the crapper.

Anyone use care dox? Thoughts???

My district uses Care Dox. I like it, for the most part. Once you have everything set up for your kids (meds, medical conditions, treatment schedules, etc) it's very easy to navigate. Click click here, type type there, save & done. I don't know any different, though, since the switch happened right about the time I was hired (they had been charting medical visits in PowerSchool).
