  1. Free CEUs?

    SchoolNurseK replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    https://nnlm.gov/class/concrete-recommendations-cutting-through-misinformation-during-covid-19-pandemic/29820 I really enjoyed this webinar too. I don't think I received CEU's for it, but it is...

  2. Free CEUs?

    SchoolNurseK replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    I have been spending a lot of time collecting free CEU's this year. It seems there is no end to the options. Check out CDC COCA calls/webinars, University of Nevada Medical Center, Johns Hopkins...

  3. Are you coming back next year?

    SchoolNurseK posted a topic in School

    I am interested to hear how everyone is processing the way our roll as school nurses has changed this year. Specifically, I am wondering what next school year looks like for

  4. Narcolepsy EAP/504 Accomodations

    SchoolNurseK posted a topic in School

    I've been invited to a 504 meeting for a student with narcolepsy. Any thoughts on accommodations that we can offer? The student is eLearning. If anyone has done a remote learning Emergency...

  5. Drug Cost Assistance- Flovent

    SchoolNurseK posted a topic in School

    I just found out that one of our teachers has been unable to afford their inhaler, so they have been going without. Our school offers really terrible insurance and this particular inhaler (flovent)...

  6. Drug Cost Assistance- Flovent

    SchoolNurseK replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I just sent the teacher an email that said he needed to prioritize his health by getting a local primary care doc (his is 400 miles away) so that he can discuss alternative medication options that may...

  7. COVID-19: Calculating Quarantines/Isolations

    SchoolNurseK posted a topic in School

    Help! I am having a mental block for some reason. Onset of symptoms 1/11. Do I start counting day one on 1/12 or do I start on 1/11? I have been doing this for MONTHS but all of a sudden I am...

  8. COVID-19: Calculating Quarantines/Isolations

    SchoolNurseK replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    That's fantastic! Thank you! I spend a lot of time helping entire families figure out their quarantine/isolation times. This is a perfect resource for

  9. COVID-19: Calculating Quarantines/Isolations

    SchoolNurseK replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    Thanks @BrisketRN for jumping in to help me out. How in the world I got myself so confused is beyond me, but I am so glad I have my virtual nurse's station to bail me

  10. Frustrated about covid symptoms. Does everyone need to go home?

    SchoolNurseK replied to pineappleupsidedowncake's topic in School

    So I have been following the major symptom/2 minor symptom line of thought but it burned me last week. Kiddo had sore throat only. That was his absolute only symptom. Mom kept him home for it and...

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

    SchoolNurseK replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Just put the puzzle pieces together and realized a group of parents were essentially lying to me about an exposure. It makes me wonder how many times this has already happened and I didn't figure it...

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

    SchoolNurseK replied to Amethya's topic in School

    It's the same here in Florida. Our governor told us we will NOT be closing. I am so torn because I know the kids do better here, but then we have a community that does not act like it is important...

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

    SchoolNurseK replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Q'd 68 kids over Thanksgiving break with 67 of them being on Thanksgiving day. Not the rest I had hoped for! Just had to reach out to one family because they called their q'd kid in because he...

  14. Voluntary Post-Thanksgiving Quarantine?

    SchoolNurseK posted a topic in School

    Is anyone recommending a voluntary post-Thanksgiving break quarantine for families that have traveled for the holiday? We are in FL, so we are already in a state that is seeing a spike. We are...

  15. contact tracing

    SchoolNurseK replied to ruralseok's topic in School

    Yes, all but two teachers are in person and 45% of our kids are on-campus. There seems to be genuine panic and an overall distrust of the process of determining close contacts. I've gone over how...

  16. contact tracing

    SchoolNurseK replied to ruralseok's topic in School

    I collaborate with the HD and our district nurse when it comes to contact tracing. Well, actually I do the contact tracing then they verify that my decisions about q'ing are correct. The issue I am...

  17. Friday

    SchoolNurseK replied to Bulldogs's topic in School

    Full day here but I am T minus 1 hour! I hope you all have a wonderful break and you do not receive one single work related phone call!

  18. Voluntary Post-Thanksgiving Quarantine?

    SchoolNurseK replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I fully anticipate this happening. I am incredibly frustrated by our state wide response. Our kids need to be in school, yet our state is not making decisions that support this need. It is...

  19. Voluntary Post-Thanksgiving Quarantine?

    SchoolNurseK replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    That my main sticking point- no one has ordered it. Our school board has been silent on the matter and goodness knows our Governor is never going to do it. We are a charter school, so we do have...

  20. Bored?

    SchoolNurseK replied to Schoolnurselpn's topic in School

    I am feeling the same way. I have started walking the school and Lysol spraying all surfaces, taking advantage of all the free webinars and CE's out there, and reading a real life book for fun (!)....

  21. Who feels like Stretch Armstrong?

    SchoolNurseK replied to tining's topic in School

    I actually went to an old man pill box with my ADHD son. :-) It has helped tremendously with the whole "did I take my pill yet?"

  22. Possibility of returning to school

    SchoolNurseK replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    Similar setup for me. The isolation room is connected to my office so I can man both. I have HS so they don't require quite as much supervision. We've done well (no on-campus positives so far) with...

  23. Teachers retiring because of COVID

    SchoolNurseK replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    This is the best thing I have heard all day. I am dying!

  24. So Discouraged...

    SchoolNurseK posted a topic in School

    Yesterday our city hosted a Trump rally. My heart is so discouraged. My 7th grader's private school is closed for 14 days due to an outbreak and some of those families were at the rally. It...

  25. Staff Burnout

    SchoolNurseK replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I just put together a "Favorite Things" binder that is kept in the front office and went out virtually to the parents. Each teacher filled out a questionnaire about their favorite things (salty...
