  1. Average "Wait Time" For A Parent?

    I really like the blocked number strategy!!! I think half the time they see the school's number and don't answer on purpose (on the flip side of that is I check my own cell phone 100 times a day because I'm paranoid I might miss a call from my daught...
  2. Average "Wait Time" For A Parent?

    I honestly don't know why it takes so long!?!? Most of them don't work. Some don't have transportation and while that is unfortunate for them, I think as a parent it's their responsibility to plan accordingly. If I didn't have a car or reliable trans...

  7. Clinic Procedures

    Would you mind sharing your "when to see the nurse" protocol? I see hangnails, gassy tummies, dry skin, and booboos that happened last week (but multiply that by a hundred other non urgent/non medical issues). 75% of our staff are brand new, fresh ou...
  8. I am just starting a new job as a school nurse. My history is in pediatric critical care so I have a lot to learn and I'll have to get used to not having a unit full of coworkers and residents at my disposal for help or to be a second set of eyes! I ...
