What about School Nursing? If you are looking for school hours-School Nursing also has you off on weekends and school breaks.

I am trying to staff an overnight Summer activity and wanted to get an idea of the average salary a camp nurse makes for comparison. Any help is appreciated!

Anyone currently using Frontline EMR (previously Health Office Anywhere)? I have some questions about how to accomplish some tasks on there that we can't figure out. Thanks!

C is a "contact of a contact" and per my county guidelines, no further action is required unless the contact (Re) develops symptoms or tests positive. I believe most are doing it the same. See below example from NYS (not where I am, but the quicke...

Thanks Ohiobobcat! Another question-is it possible to "narrow down" reports for specific things-for example, can you run a report that will show how many 2nd graders who were seen for vomiting?

Question for SNAP users-looking at this software now. For Immunization entry, do you have to select the immunization from the drop-down menu for each immunization, or does live version have immunizations for your state "preloaded" so that you just en...

I have been at Pre-K for 20 years. Texas required puretone for hearing screenings, so we have Abmco 650AB. I do conditioned play where they place a block in a box when they hear the tone. I use HTOV for vision, and I usually wait until we come bac...

Just my two cents.......why is it your responsibility to get an updated restriction/release from restriction letter? The parent is the one who brought you the initial restriction letter and are dealing directly with these doctors in their offices fac...

3 options (I'm in Texas too): Get titers drawn: if good, this would take care of it forever Medical exemption: letter from MD stating medical reason student can't have immunization, must get new letter every year unless letter states "lifelong exempt...

You can remind them that part of the school nurses job isn't to send kids home, it's to keep them in school if they are well enough to learn.

Nope. No reason to do now if you are going to be doing again in first few weeks of school-and especially if doing in spring won't count towards their required K screening-double work for little benefit. Adding-I'm at a 500+ student Pre-K. Screening...

UrbanHealthRN- Been doing Pre-k for 20 years now-screening 500+ 4 year olds each year-good times! I've had great success with conditioned play audiometry-I have a box of plain wood 1" blocks (cause I've learned they need to be the same, lest you run...

You may want to check your states guidelines for hearing screening. The Ero-Scan DPOAE is an otoacoustic emissions screener, and is generally not the first line device for general hearing screenings. In Texas, the only accepted method is pure to...

Old Dude-I've got 550 4 year olds to screen.....Photoscreeners are mixed bag....We got the PlusOptix a few years ago and have been trying to figure out how to best utilize it. Data entry to allow us to save all screenings (to print out reports) is c...

Welsh Allen Sure Temp. My original one lasted about 16 years......

Tining-you can have your computer remember the user name and password so that all you have to do is put in organization code!

Many thanks Kittery! Since you posted I have been stalking my mailman-didn't know about checking the website. And I passed too!

Kittery- When did you get your results? I took it March 5th and still have heard nothing.

I have had 2 syncopal episodes that looked like seizures-arms postured. Big ways to tell-if there was precipitating event...first one of mine was immediately after Hep B shot, 2nd one was when I was 26 weeks pregnant and hadn't eaten. There was a re...

Plaafp stands for "present level of academic achievement and functional performance" and basically has 2 columns for each subject area/domain. One column has what an average student of that age/grade is able to do, the other column has what that par...

I've been working at a public Pre-K only for 17 years. 500-600 4 year olds every year. First, I do not even try to group screen them until as late as possible-they are really just learning how to follow directions for at least the first 6 weeks. F...

Invitale- Schools are a place for kids to LEARN, not for them to be taken care of when they are sick. 2 hours is a very long time when you have a student with 104 degree temp. 2 hours is a very long time when you have a student vomiting every 15 m...

You mentioned that mom calls to let you know that she found and treated the lice. You also mentioned that in the 10 days you checked her you didn't see any nits. Have you actually ever seen any nits or lice on this student? Could mom be mistaken ...

What state are you in? Every state has immunization requirements for school attendance, and most local entities have board policies that reference those state requirements.

In Texas, the TEA has their own definition of medically fragile: "MEDICALLY-FRAGILE-IND-CODE indicates whether the student receiving special education and related services is: 1) in the age range of birth to 22 years, and 2) has a serious, ongoin...
