How many students do you treat on a regular day?

How many students do you see on a regular day, not counting the "full moon days"?

I see/treat roughly 15-20 students daily.

This new school that I'm at is super busy! 1100 kids total. I have 29 daily meds/procedures and have been seeing an additional 30-40 on top of that. I chart every visit, even just a bandage, but most visits are head/stomach or need an inhaler prior to PE.

In my first week, I sent out a kid for stiches and had a student with an allergy who's lunch from home contained one of his allergens (milk, but according to mom and dad he's had a strong reaction in the past). So that could have gone bad. I like being busy.

I see 25-45 in a school of 450. I have 6 daily meds and several before PE/recess inhalers. I document everything--even the silly things--because they are still coming to see me, I am assessing whatever is going on, and I am taking my time with them. And, yep, even when I am sewing the hole in someone's pants or taping someone's glasses :yes:
