N95 masks for school nurses?

Published

Are other school nurses implementing the use of N95 masks in school and if so, do you plan to decontaminate them in some way to extend use?

I've been assessing them in my office and sending to the iso room next door.  The tricky part is when I have to find someone to monitor the iso room while I run around making notifications, getting belongings, etc.  

I have a form that I use with symptomatic students with the instructions on exclusion.  It took me 2 weeks to realize that I need to keep copies on the kiddos I send out.

well... I suppose NEED is a strong word.  It's just me wanting to keep copies of everything balanced with not wanting unnecessary clutter
