I missed Wednesday due to a calamity day use for temps reaching 102F yesterday. My son, however, has AC in his building so he was in school. I had the whole day to myself.

Night shift patient sitter. I got so much homework done while my patient slept.

That's the plan, but it hasn't even started yet! First class is 9/10

I have many colds/seasonal allergies. A couple suspected strep but no word back from the parents, and alot of general blah due to near 90 degree days all week.

HAHA!

Honestly, I'm not sure who these people are as far as experience yet. I am concerned about how many of them are already working on med cards and lab videos. The semester starts on Sept. 10, and I understand being ahead of the game, but we are about t...

Wow, Happy bday to the Oldest Dude.

Right! New Balance for life! There was a threat about how hard it was to find white shoes that are affordable so I shared a link to the shoes i bought and several people said "but I'd rather have leather, easier to clean/keep my feet clean" First, I'...

truth!

I have been peed on, and my shoes were the least of my concern! I know the bottoms of shoes get super nasty, but I'm not worries about my uppers getting so dirty that they leak onto my actual foot.

I do, but some others in my district just put everything inside. I think the visual of the written imm record is helpful for audits. I HATE the way they look in DASL.

We do! Most everything is in DASL, but we do keep paper/folder record of immunizations and screenings (in addition to DASL). We also use these to store med admin records, doctors noted, referrals, etc. Our new folders are just green file folders wit...

I follow the Dr orders, which means that my independent student (has a pump, carries a glucometer) doesn't come to the clinic unless there is a problem. If the Dr does not order supervision I would hate to pull a student out of class/lunch/recess jus...

I have a 6th grader in pull-ups. Children's services is involved

I work PRN at the local children's hospital. I am required to be available a total of 24 hours each 6 week calendar, in standard 4 hour shifts (4,8,12,16). It can be a pain during the school year (I end up working 8 every other Sunday), but it is nic...

Congrats! You have achieved so much in a short time!

it looks like this is solved, but I wanted to agree, you did what I would have done! The rules are the same for every student.

My first day was also relatively uneventful. I had three visits outside of meds and diabetic care. I do have 3 6th graders who are diabetic, which makes 5th period kind of hectic, but overall I have been able to keep up with administrative and cleric...

As a medical assistant I would advise against it. Although Washington State has a better field for it than many other areas it is not a worthwhile career. Maybe set an appointment with an advisor to see what your pre-reqs would be good for to complet...

I did so well. Even though I wasn't posting I was wearing my pink every wednesday without fail. I was so cool. And today, last day of school, i forgot.

LAST DAY woot. this is the last day of my first year at the school. It is a bizarre feeling.

Not a health issue. Now, what you can do, is have the parents fill out a med frm for you to do a treatment and nit combing in the clinic. But that seems like a waste of time if your district does not exclude based on live lice. Which, by the way, is ...

My sister worked as an aide in a nursing home throughout her last year/summer prior to. I am fortunate enough to already have a position at a local children's hospital.

You MUST have a pass (or be apparently ill i.e. grey or green or bleeding) to come to the clinic. I have 6-8 grade and they try to sneak between classes, that's a no-go here. Their pass does not have a reason. I keep a log (under a schedule) on my c...

For those of you not drowning beneath all of the field day scrapes and bruises, how do you prepare for end of year? I feel like I should be doing something.
