1. That was a first

   JoJoGo replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

   You never forget your first time ? It is amazing to see the relief once that initial jolt wears off, isn't it?

2. Pandemic or pollen??

   JoJoGo replied to Flare's topic in School

   Ugh. Last week I had a student who was eligible to return from quarantine on Thursday not return because of persistent "allergies" that couldn't be COVID because, after all, they hadn't been anywhere....but to school....which is why they were in quar...

3. C'Mon Now!

   JoJoGo replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

   Yup. Spring break starts tomorrow. I'm waiting on two pending tests that may quarantine a large handful of students the day before break-can you imagine the ? hitting the fan??

4. 40 days left!!

   JoJoGo replied to Eleven011's topic in School

   54-The countdown is on! Full year in person minus a couple of quarantines for the entire middle and high school and one week extra over the holidays. I'm tired, but still amazed at how the year flew by!

5. Staying or Going?

   JoJoGo replied to BooBooCrew's topic in School

   I hear you there. I'm leaving my current school nursing job because my husband took a job on the other side of the state. I'm tempted to work at Costco for a while. I did apply for an Occupational Health Nurse position, but I also know how good I hav...

6. Will you take the Pfizer Covid Vaccine?

   JoJoGo replied to guest83140's topic in School

   Dose two complete yesterday. So far, only a sore arm. I'm so thankful!

7. Will you take the Pfizer Covid Vaccine?

   JoJoGo replied to guest83140's topic in School

   I'm pretty sure I'll be getting it next week. I'm administering it Monday-Wednesday because staffing issues are real during Christmas week at the Health Department and I worked with them all Summer while we were out of school. So, hopefully, along wi...

8. Developing a School Policy

   JoJoGo replied to cherieRN's topic in School

   You should just copy and paste from your local health department guidelines. Ours has a very clear algorithm to follow. I just refer all my parents back to that algorithm. I copy and paste the link to it and send it to anyone who questions what we're...

9. Frustrated!!

   JoJoGo replied to cowboysandangels's topic in School

   I think it is an interpretation thing. The county I live in "allows" household members to start their 14 day count down if the infected person is isolated to their own bedroom and bathroom, but the county I worked in this Summer said that as long as ...

10. Surprise, Surprise... COVID Contacts after Thanksgiving... great!

    JoJoGo replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I wish we could do some surveillance testing. The health department says it may be coming, but it's probably not going to be soon enough to do any good here. We've got our K-8 population in the building, but 9-12 is remote and their mental health is ...

11. Quarantine Letter for Schools

    JoJoGo replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Does your local health department not have a template for you? This is what I send to our students: You are receiving this email because your 9th grade student has been identified as a close contact to a positive case. Their last exposure was o...

12. contact tracing

    JoJoGo replied to ruralseok's topic in School

    I did it all Summer with the health department, and now I'm doing it for our school. Our health department is so overwhelmed that I've started putting our students into quarantine and telling them they can't return since it is taking almost a full we...

13. "Hypothetical" Situation

    JoJoGo replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    Oof, you certainly sound like you have a different set of parents/guardians than I have. My students' parents would be much more likely to thank me for not calling an ambulance so they wouldn't have to pay for it.

14. "Hypothetical" Situation

    JoJoGo replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    That's only a 911 call if they suddenly lose conciouosness. Sounds like you did exactly what I would have done. I would have the child in position of comfort and then decide how to keep the arm in that position for transport. They can still walk to t...

15. Lice found, but not on head

    JoJoGo replied to Sarahnursey's topic in School

    None of my teachers would touch one with a ten foot pole, so I have never had this happen. I have taped them on a post it note for a parent, however. I pulled one out of an eyebrow already this year.
