    LikeTheDeadSea replied to Phillynurse123's topic in School

    Welcome to the forum! ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US! Ours do not, as it is expected to occur during work hours. We are not liason-ing outside of our contracted hours, therefore no...

    Asthma attacks and no albuterol.

    LikeTheDeadSea replied to pineappleupsidedowncake's topic in School

    Do you have a district physician who can write a Standing order for inhaler use for known asthmatics if their inhaler is present? It's a nice CYA if you already know they have Asthma and that...

    Hopeful School Nurse!

    LikeTheDeadSea replied to cue.eyeroll's topic in School

    Lots of policy/protocol updating. Realistically the department can handle 1-2 projects/updates a year because we're so limited on times we can collaborate as a group during contracted hours. Really...

    LikeTheDeadSea replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    Symptomatic kiddos go behind a tarp/shower curtain set up in the corner of the office. There are 2 of those in my office. No Nebs. Return to School Guidelines - is your DOH on the same...

    Is Camp "On" for Summer?

    LikeTheDeadSea replied to ruby_jane's topic in Camp

    We're "on", but have a very transparent "this is us being hopeful" statement. What it will look like is still being discussed by our Board and waiting for state guidance, since that was a huge part...

    Teachers retiring because of COVID

    LikeTheDeadSea replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    There was mass exodus of retirements and leaves around me. Doesn't bode well for the sub shortage, but is nice for the younger teachers who have been waiting in the wings for contract spots to open...

    Holiday Travel and Mandatory Quarantining?

    LikeTheDeadSea replied to Queen of Icepacks's topic in School

    My state's travel stuff uses "recommend", even when referring to Hot Spots. Not "required." Super fun.

    Quarantine violation & preschool attendance

    Also, there is a chance that your Health Dept may be issuing '"Modified Heightened quarantine" for "Exposure to positives." which more or less means "Exercise greater caution in general hygiene...

    Quarantine violation & preschool attendance

    LikeTheDeadSea replied to noneYet's topic in School

    "Exposure to an Exposure" has no isolation/quarantine indicators where I am. It's very nice and wonderful and certainly feels morally/ethically good when an adult calls and says they are an "Exposure...

    Another face mask post

    LikeTheDeadSea replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    We pass it to our building administrators to sort out, handle, reach out to parents, etc since it causes building panic/silliness to have someone wearing it. Bullies absolutely gravitate towards that...
