Hello fellow School Nurses! Is it just my office, or has anyone else seen A LOT of stressed out students today???? OMG. I have had TWO potentially serious mental health crises, and a bunch of head aches and stomach aches without fevers, vomiting, etc. All before lunch! Full moon? Can't wait for margarita-thirty.......
YES!!! This madness.At one point I had THREE staff members in my office for blood pressure checks. I think I am going to suggest to my boss lady that we have access to chart health visits on staff members on our computer system, because sometimes I spend more time with them than the kids. Ugh.
We started doing this and we found that about 10% of our visits district wide are for staff members. The district said if we hit 15% we can hire more nurses. So if they even cross my threshold to talk to me about their allergies or their rash from three weeks ago, or for a bandaid, I chart it.

Butt crack therapy, huh? Maybe you could patent it.
