I officially report back 8/3 and students are supposed to return 8/24... Lets see what happens.

My admin and I agreed upon any sx of COVID they go home and must be sx free for 10 days and fever free without meds for 3 days before returning on campus. This was based off the recommendations of our health department.

How is everyone handling the isolation room from the CDC? My school has no extra space and building an isolation room in my current office is not feasible.

I believe the ESE Department and PE Coaches will be moved into a trailer and I will keep my current location.

My administration approached me this morning and asked for me to look into getting an "updated" vision machine. The current one we have is ancient and I cannot find a manufacture date or even the model online. Does anyone have any suggestions on wh...

It "works" but we are having alot of students fail with our vision machine, when the parent takes them to the physician, over half of them are passing.

I use McKesson, SNS and MacGill (mainly McKesson). I used to use School Health at my previous school, but we do not have an account with them at my current school.

I'm not sure where you purchase supplies from but my school purchases most of my supplies from McKesson. I am not sure if they have any though.

I would either print or send a photo in an email of proof that the places you usually get supplies from are out of stock and you are unable to order them. I would make sure to keep a paper trail of your communication regarding face masks.

I promise you are not the only school nurse feeling that way. I feel most of us feel the same way you do. I just hope we have a better idea of what were going to be facing come the beginning of the new school year before we actually return back to p...

It is frustrating for me that I am trying to figure out what supplies to order for next year (besides the usual gloves, bandages, wipes, etc.) and honestly don't know where to begin because who knows whats going to happen between now and August. Mas...

I would check etsy and see if they have anything.

I am in Fl

Our Summer camp is closed for June, we have not made a decision regarding July yet. I do have a feeling however, that it will be cancelled as well.

Florida Schools will continue distance learning for the remainder of the school year as of 4/19/2020.

I am in Florida too and feel the exact same way! I miss my kiddos

I am closed for 2 weeks as of now, we have not been told if we are getting paid or not. I am also paid hourly, so I am at work trying to gather up things I can do from home to get some hours put in. I am hoping we are not out more than two weeks at ...

My PTA gave me 6 large bottles of hand sanitizer that I have written nurse's office only on, which are also kept locked up where I have the only key to where they are locked up.

ALL of my supplies except bandages, lice sticks, etc. are always under lock and key... Not because of my coworkers, we have a cleaning company that comes in and cleans our school each night.

At work I am nurse/secretary/end of the day late car riders watcher. At home, I enjoy archery and fishing.

If I know I am going to be out, then I find my own sub ( I only have 2 subs), if it is an emergency then if I cant get a sub, my secretaries will cover for me and call me/the parent if needed.

How does everyone get an idea of how much to order for next school year? I feel like my biggest things I go through are Gloves, Probe covers for my thermometer, 2x4 bandages, and cleaning wipes. I feel like I never order enough for the entire year ...

I am paid hourly and not paid for the summer. So I work my schools summer camp for a couple of weeks each year and make sure to save money out of each check for the summer.

When doing a diabetic dosage calculation, do you use the correction formula + carb ratio (ex. 2.2 + 4.3 = 6.5 ( 7 units) or do you round the 2.2 (2) + 4.3 (4) = 6 units? I have heard that the first way I showed is the way they are calculating insuli...

The DMMP does not say. I am working on getting clarification, but I was wondering if insulin calculations changed since I was always taught to do each calculation separate, round up or down then add the 2 calculations together,
