Hello everyone,
I am creating a position that is essentially like a "School Nurse Consultant" for lack of a better name. This nurse would come on a part-time basis to schools do any number of things to assist the LPN who is there. One of the main responsibilities would be to oversee/supervise the LPN as in my state (MA) LPNs need RN supervision. So far I have:
1. Review/update school health policies as needed
2. Provide staff training on Epi Pen administration
3. Attend field trips as needed
4. Help with State screenings
5. Attend IEP/504 meetings if applicable
6. Ensure students who need IHPs have them and write for those who don't
I guess, in a nutshell, if you could have another RN come in and "help", what things would you want done. This would be a coupe days a week for a 6 hour stretch, or random 3 hour stretches as needed.

Anything related to supervision of medication administration? Or any kiddos with complex procedures like tube feedings that might need special training prior to delegation? I can probably think of more, but I haven't had my coffee yet.

Thanks for any ideas or input!
