   Nurse in MT replied to mag426's topic in School

   Can you work with the county health department to run in-school vaccination clinics? Those take up a lot of time, but are a great resource for families. I'm 3/4 of the way through organizing a school-wide influenza clinic for students and staff with ...

2. Unemployment??? Summer???

   Nurse in MT replied to Salemer's topic in School

   I did some travel nursing when I left my prior employer in 2016 before starting my contract year with the school district. I am 10-month salaried and receive 12 paychecks a year because I have a professional license like a teacher.

   Nurse in MT replied to dimaanorolando's topic in School

   Check into your state laws regarding teacher retirement. Where I'm located it is law that I must be part of the teacher pension program.

6. Help RN with BSN at school

   Nurse in MT replied to dimaanorolando's topic in School

   I guess I look at it differently, try to see the positive. Yes, I am paid less than first year teachers, BUT my schedule and benefits are stellar. Where else as a nurse do you get such a rock star schedule? No nights, no weekends, no evenings, no on...

7. essential oils

   Nurse in MT replied to peacockblue's topic in School

   We jumped through a lot of hoops, including consulting with law enforcement, regarding administering CBD oil to a student. After much rigamarole, it was allowed. It helped this profoundly disabled student become more verbal AND reduced the frequency ...

   Nurse in MT replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

   Our insurance agents visited the school for an in-service prior to the return of students... They told us that EpiPens can be returned to the pharmacy prior to expiration and the manufacturer will replace for free, thus saving families $$$$. Anyone...

   Nurse in MT replied to Nurse in MT's topic in School

   I have been too busy with beginning of the year documentation/general nuttiness to get back to Allnurses in recent days... I will be giving my contact a call. I do have rooms in all 3 buildings reserved for the day, and a local pharmacist is coming ...

    Nurse in MT replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Nurse? What nurse? We didn't even have a nurse. It was a lot of suck it up butter cup and that was the 80's.

14. Lice policy?

    Nurse in MT replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Super lice. I know they are in the area because I dealt with them at my previous place of employment outside of a traditional school system. Last Thursday when we treated & combed two siblings with amazing thick hair (Yes. I'm envious.) we saw t...

15. Clorox and DFACS

    Nurse in MT replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I'll be surprised if anything is done about this. I've had to call CPS frequently, but I don't know if I would have considered this abuse or neglect. The wound was treated... even if it wasn't the way we would have preferred. Unless they are claimin...
