    NurseInTheHall replied to CarlyCastaneda's topic in School

    Do You Work at Your Kid's School?

    NurseInTheHall replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    My mini didn't love it as a freshman but adjusted after that. I always let her take the lead about interacting when we cross paths and once she realized that being in the same vicinity had nothing to...

    Chest Pain in ES

    NurseInTheHall replied to anxiousnewgrad58's topic in School

    Agree with all above - you did great. You are at a disadvantage being the sub or new to the school. It's easier when you know the kids. I love to employ the 'boredom therapy' method. After an...

    pink eye season!

    NurseInTheHall replied to pineappleupsidedowncake's topic in School

    Our current school policy is that the student may return 24 hours after 1st treatment or when released to return to school by a medical professional. I'm sorry to hear that your principal is...

    COVID-caused conjunctivitis

    NurseInTheHall replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    We recently had a high school student report eye pain, no other symptoms, no redness or discharge, just pain. Mom took him in to get it checked out and the NP told him that it could be a sign of...

    Private school, PS-12 grade, full 5 days per week since mid-August. Campus population of 1250ish (approximately 900 students). I am the COVID Response Team Coordinator. It's not an official title but...

    Dealing with Our First COVID Quarantine - Siblings!

    NurseInTheHall replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I like this! I usually say "Medical information is private information" and leave it at that, but this gives them a nice example. Totally using this from now

    Students to quarantine until test results received??

    NurseInTheHall replied to nicole.schoolRN's topic in School

    There is a free contact tracing course through Coursera that takes about 6 hours to complete and results in a Johns Hopkins Contact Tracer Certificate. I highly recommend, if for no other reason, to...

    And just like that.....

    NurseInTheHall replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Haha! Yes!! ? I keep thinking about how this could really put a damper on the lice treatment and prevention industry! There is a real potential here to eradicate those little buggers!

    COVID19 efforts around school?

    NurseInTheHall replied to Mango Juice's topic in School

    We have been cleaning like crazy these past 2 weeks. I actually had to send out an email on Tuesday evening to remind the teachers to take it easy with their rogue cleaners because the fumes were...

    Infrared Thermometers

    NurseInTheHall replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    I have some by Zoe+Ruth. If anything, they understate the temp. I do several scans to make sure I'm actually getting the hot spot around the temple. Better than trying to get the littles to use an...

    EMR--what do you use?

    NurseInTheHall replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    We use Magnus. It's too expensive and not as user-friendly as the sales team would have you believe. If you have high acuity, unlimited funds, and your own designated in-house I.T. point person, go...

    Role of SN & Athletic Trainers

    NurseInTheHall replied to PedsRN4Beach's topic in School

    I wouldn't think that an AT would be able to delegate to an RN but it may depend on your state and your school chain of command. Given the information you provided, it doesn't sound like this AT...

    Epipen for classroom teaching?

    NurseInTheHall replied to pedi_nurse's topic in School

    I think it is a great idea!! I recently added this in when teaching some 7th and 8th graders CPR. My philosophy is to have as many people trained as

    Some Friday Fun... School Nurse Starter Pack

    NurseInTheHall replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I got obsessed with making this, bought the legos and everything ... tried it with just heads, tried it with full lego figures, identical except for the faces, but the kids just didn't 'get it'. The...

    Parent wants to stay all day

    NurseInTheHall posted a topic in School

    What would your response be to a parent who wants to stay at school all day to provide their child's diabetes management care? Based on some of the threads I've read, I anticipate that some school...
