I made up my own! I put a cartoon pic of a nurse on the top of the 5" x 7" sheet, with lines that state: Name, Date, time, teacher

then I have check lines for complaints, such as stomachache, headache, injury, etc.

The next line has action taken, and a line for my signature.

After I created the template (lots of cutting and pasting, I am WORTHLESS with a computer!) The school secretary had pads of these made up for the teachers.

There is some online clipart that has some whimsical medical motifs that can be printed on them- mine is a nurse with kids holding onto her, yelling "INCOMING!". The teachers and students really liked them!

I have attached a copy of the pass that I use. Because I can't upload Publisher files, it's the text only version, but it gives you an idea of what I use.

At my last school clinic visits were off the hook. I mean, at one point I was seeing 130 students PER DAY. :eek: So I made a quarter-page clinic pass that I required each student to have. They were not even allowed to cross my threshold without it unless they were actively vomiting, wheezing or bleeding significantly. The pass had to be fully filled out with their name, the teacher's name, the issue (circle all that apply: vomiting, fever, cramps, feminine concern, cut/bleeding, head injury, other) and a statement of policy: Student will not be given medications unless their parent has sent the medicine to school with proper authorization. The final line said "Does this student have medication in the clinic? yes/no". This eliminated those students who said they needed to take medicine--if they lied to their teacher about it, I busted them BIG TIME.

My admin approved the clinic pass system because she knew something had to be done. There had been no accountability before I arrived. Teachers were sending kids to the clinic for disciplinary issues. Kids knew which teachers were the soft touch and some of them were coming 2-4 times/day just to hang out. I had to really get serious with the staff and students. The pass system gave me a way to track teachers, as well as students.

I printed the passes on hot pink paper so that it was very noticeable--if a teacher saw a student in the hall, they had to produce this pass. If they didn't have a pass the teachers knew to send the kid back unless there was something *obviously* badly wrong. I also created a pass back to class, to keep students from reusing the pink passes. The back to class passes were electric yellow and it worked the same way as the clinic passes. If a student showed up in class with a story of being in the clinic, they had to produce a yellow pass with their name,the date, and the time they left the clinic. Showing up without the proper pass could result in detention or even suspension(for the most frequent offenders.)

We use a nurse pass that is made from NCR paper. Teacher writes name, time, date and then there is a check list of symptoms that the teacher checks off-cough, ST, fever, headache, pain in the butt, injury etc. Then the nurse checks off what she did-temperature, cleansed/bandaid, rest, h20, cough drop, Tylenol etc. Then you mark what time the student left your office.

The original stays with the nurse, to be used to chart later if busy, and the copy goes back to the teacher. At the end of the day the teacher gives them back to the students to be placed in their back pack, and the child is SUPPOSED to give it to their parent when they arrive home to let the parent know they saw the nurse and what was done.

I will see a student if they are dying, need CPR, wheezing or really injured without a pass. It eliminates the kids that go to the bathroom, then sneak off to the nurse's office afterward.

In addition to a pass, we advised that students needed to bring a book or

homework to work on while waiting to see the nurse. This

approach was based on the school nurse teacher designation.

Our office was a class room as well, not a social center.

It ruled out the insincere as they were disappointed that it was not a place to meet up with friends and returned to class.

The health office was as quiet as a library and not a party as

it had been under a previous administration.

When we admitted the student to a resting bed, they had

studies to work on if appropriate.

We saw sincere students with appropriate issues and we were not

in the role of providing an escape for students who did not want to be

in class. (This was high school age)

In Our district we have a small pass in triplecate form 1 copy for h/o, 1 for parent, 1 for teacher, so the teacher has to write in her own words why she is sending the student, along with name, date...and we write a small blurb on the bottom half of our assessmnent

i have 4 cards/notes -

Green: teacher to fill up, name n class, date n time, and tick the problem or write, and remarks to be taken seriously or not.

Blue - from me to the teacher, what has been done etc (all has ticking columns).

Yellow - from me to parents, what has been done and follow up care. sometimes i attached a pamphlet that i made on info on head injury etc.

pink - for the security guards, alerting them to let a parent pass through the campus for parent to fetch child.

i made via words and then just print.
