Keeperofbandages LPN

My office is small ... and I share my office with the PE Coaches (My school was built without a clinic). I do feel at times as if it is cluttered. It is tight but we do make it work.

I have ONE sub for my school. She has come in and rearranged some things... my desk being ONE of them. I don't mind if she wants to reorganize the clothing bins in the bathroom or straighten up my first aid drawer..... Just DON'T mess with my desk.

I don't pull teeth out either. I always let me students know that I cannot pull teeth and explain to them that I cannot do anything invasive without a doctor's order. Usually my kids will then ask if they can use my bathroom and when they come out ...

I have one sub for my school. If she cannot sub then my secretary up front covers my office and she calls a sub in for her area... I try to plan my day off in advance to make sure that my sub CAN cover me. My secretary is awesome at covering but we...

I have next week for work then i'm off for spring break.

Anyone have any must have supplies besides the usual bandages, probe covers, cleaning wipes, etc?

We do a fall festival in the fall, winter is a catalog fundraiser, today is our last day of boosterthon. We also do fundraisers for different grades, safety patrol, music program, etc. usually once a month in the form of jean day and a usually a spe...

I have tympanic here. They do not know how to answer a phone properly, and most don't know there parents phone numbers either.

Does anyone have any ideas on simple clinic rules that are good for both elementary and middle school? I am at a K-8 school. I have already tried to implement passes for visits and it depends on which teacher the student has, if I get a pass or not....

What do your student's call you? My old school I was always Ms. Keeperofbandages and at my new school some staff members will tell students go to see Ms. Katie (not my real first name) or Ms. Keeperofbandages. My old school was 6-8 and now i'm at a ...

Thankfully my administration sees how busy I get and agree with the passes. Most teachers are good about it, it is just a select few who feel "entitled" to do as they please.

Never thought of the plastic coating in cups! Thanks for the heads up on that.

I always call for anything shoulders up (unless its from a lose tooth). Also if I think the injury needs further evaluation. I always document if I recommended to the parent further evaluation from an MD. I also make sure to document if it is an i...

Best places to find nursing related posters for K-8? I have tried schoolnursingsupply.com and Macgil.com

I am looking there now.

With my Kinders I'll answer to nurse but also explain to them that my name is Ms. Keeperofbandages and that usually works unless they are really upset over something. It's my older student's who I have an issue with...

Does anyone have anything typed out for subs on where they can find certain items, who covers you for lunch, who the med trained back ups are?

I'm in a K-8 Public Charter School in Fl. I have roughly 890 students. My hours are 7:45-3:45. Student hours are 7:50-2:40 for 6-8, and 8:30-3:05 for K-5. I help cover the front desk in the morning till around 9:00. Most of my days are filled with...

Mine is 3 in the same class or 4 total in the school we have to notify our local health department.

Thankfully, mine are on the dexcom app, so I can monitor them throughout the day. They are all also on the pump. They keep their meters with them since it is connected with their pump. I also have a back up meter in my office for emergencies. In t...

I wasn't too bad in middle school about visiting the school health room. I used it more frequently in high school after several injuries from being an athlete. My Nurse would see me coming and already have a pass made out for me allowing me to go o...

We have juniors expiring in sept and my regulars are exp this month. We are fortunate enough to also have a set of Auvi-Q on my campus. So if I have a field trip, I still have atleast 1 jr and 1 reg on campus.

Does anyone have a specific form that the use when creating care plans? I did find one for food allergy. But I am struggling to find something for diabetes and asthma.

We have to have them for those with 504's if they also have a health condition.

My big issue is that we have to bring an RN to complete my care plans (LPN's cannot write them in Fl) and we are not allowed to use our district forms.
