I went back 8/1 and the kids started 8/10.

I do not take anything with me other than my go bag. We have a fire station 2 blocks from the school and in the event of a true evacuation, who would take over quickly if needed.

Our policy states if it is not FDA approved, that we do not administer the medication.

Your pass does not belong on my desk. Ice does not help things that happened x days ago.

Does anyone have an Emergency Go Bag recommendation? The one I ordered does not work for my school. I would love something with pockets and ability to find what I need in a situation easily. I have looked at School Health, School Nurse Supply and MacGill. I was hoping someone has a bag that they absolutely LOVE since I would love to hear first hand reviews before my school purchases another bag.

I use the Welch Allyn Otic thermometer for my kids K-8.

I checked with them and they will not.

How does everyone get their prescriptions for their stock Epi's? I work at a charter school in Florida and the doctor who used to write our prescription moved out of state. I have checked with local providers and they will not write the prescription.

We have spirit weeks maybe twice a year. What my school does is jeans and a type of shirt day as a fundraiser. Sometimes its a jersey, sometimes its a fall shirt, etc. I do participate in those. We are doing a book character parade on Thursday where I am dressing up as a cow. I will wear the cow costume for the parade and then I will take it off with my scrubs underneath for the rest of the day.

We have a no-nit policy. If a student is discovered to have lice during the school day, they must be sent home and treated. Students returning after having lice are to be brought in by a parent/guardian for evaluation from the nurse before returning to class. If nits are found, the student is sent back home. If there is a sibling in the school when the lice is discovered, the sibling is also checked for lice as well. 7-10 days after student returns to class, the student is rechecked by the nurse.

It's just me at my school. I'm in a K-8 Public Charter School with about 880 kids and about 90 staff.

The kids last day is the 27th and my last day is 6/1.

At my job, I was not even recognized for National Nurses Day or Nurses Week.

In my district, we have to go by the pharmacy label's expiration date.

I send a medication pick up letter home, and also put a reminder in our weekly newsletter. Thankfully, I would say about 98% of my parents pick up the students medication.
