   LPNinGH replied to LPNinGH's topic in School

   @SaltineQueen I know the reaction the parents of my student will have, particularly mom, and it won't be pretty. It's a conversation I will be having with mom later today. As far as I'm concerned, we will continue as we have. I'll submit timesheets ...

2. HELP. 1:1 District School Nurse Caring for Two Students During Lunch Breaks

   LPNinGH replied to LPNinGH's topic in School

   Our contract (in place before I hired on as a district employee) is not worth the paper it's written on. This was an employee association, not a bona fide union, and it almost dissolved three years ago because members wouldn't step up to the plate an...

6. Transition to School Nurse

   LPNinGH replied to KH_RN6's topic in School

   In my area, district employees working only the school year get paid year-round, but it's calculated on 180-186 days of work per year divided by 12. All national holidays are paid, as well as Christmas and Spring vacations. We receive our "vacation" ...

7. Saving Lives and Changing Laws: The Story of One School Nurse and Glucagon

   LPNinGH replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Headlines

   Way to go, Jennifer and Heather! And extra kudos for pursuing changing the law. I am a nurse in a school district. There is no reason for schools not to stock Epi-pens, glucagon, Narcan, and rescue inhalers, and lack of funding is included as an insu...

   LPNinGH replied to nursenmom3's topic in School

   Hello, I'm a 1:1 school nurse for a medically fragile student, with whom I've cared for over the past two years. My first year was with an outside agency, but the district hired me at the end of 2018, so last year I functioned as a district employee....
