1) I changed my name from C.MackeyRN My hubby wasn't too wild about so much of my name being in the cyber world so I changed it
2) Those who have stock epi on campus....what all was required to get that implemented? Obviously MD order is required. But where do you get yours from? What does your policy look like? How many do you keep on campus? As our school grows, my admin is starting to inquire about adding some new things to the health services and has asked for my input on this topic as well as updating our policies on OTC meds and sunscreen.
Mylan provides two 0.3 pens and two 0.15 pens (which I will never use as my kids are all over 90 pounds). The kicker is...if I use one, will it be replaced? We took all our EpiPens back to HQ over the summer and magically got new ones...but I am not sure we'll always get free stuff. Fingers crossed, though.
When you have the orders written see if you can include staff as well. Ours did not, I requested the change because we had a staff person stung by a bee and.....surprise, she turned out to be anaphylactic ally allergic to bee stings! I didn't have to use an EpiPen (but I would have).
You can get them replaced - I did after using one and it was very, very easy. I did it through the Epipens For School website. I also was able to get two packs of 0.30 mg vs one of 0.15 mg because all students are over 90 pounds as well.

Thanks for the positive feed back on my name changes guys!! It's hard trying to identify yourself online and a HUGE thanks to all the help with the stock epi!! I didn't even thing to make sure staff was included in the order we get! Y'all are the best!
Figured I'd bump up this thread to chime in and say I decided to also change my username from Jen-Elizabeth to JenTheSchoolRN because I liked the sound of it :).

My standing orders cover staff as well.
