This is what I'll be asking: 1. Is ___ under OCC regulations? If not, what regulating bodies oversee daycare? 2. What is the job description for the Nurse? Please list the duties you wish for the Nurse to cover. 3. Who would the Nurse report to at d...

"Doing two jobs is difficult" I could not have said that better. That is exactly what it is. Thank you Ruby_jane!

Old dude! Thank you so much. I laughed and laughed at your description of the teachers ??? The little interactions that I have had with the daycare teachers have been very much like you described. Not sure I'm ready for that. I will keep you guys ...

That Principal deserves all the eyerolls and side eyes. Terrible! Thank you for the advice! I am going to be extremely cautious. The good thing is that I'm not being pressured to cover the daycare. Totally optional and that really helps.

I am just so so happy that you responded! Simply the best! Thank youuuuu for offering to answer some of my questions! I will definitely get back to you. Im just going to eat something really quick. Didnt get to have lunch so I'm famished! What a da...

I'm planning for next year and wondered what inexpensive perks I could add to the office for the visits. I serve K-8. I know the K-3 crowd looooove stickers. 3-6? Pencils with cool erasers or feathered tops? 7-8......uhhhhhhh attitude adjusters? l...

Oh I smiled at the kiss stamp. Very cute! Thank you

Small school, well behaved kids and cooperative teachers. I got lucky. I would never consider this at the previous schools I worked at. I usually give something after hearing and vision testing or around holidays. Thanks everyone for your suggestio...

I have no problem saying no to the kiddies. ? But I have on occasion wished I had something to give.

I JUST had a teacher escort a child to my office for the same thing! Its been happening more for the last two weeks and I have no idea whyyy.

A family that I have sent multiple request to submit medication and forms, sent in medication today. I was not aware of what type of health care provider wrote the order so I ended up searching for their license number in my state. Cant find it. A...

Very very true. This was the case in my home state as well but they provided means to assist children in getting medication and school orders in. I am still discovering what community resources are available in this state. In this situation, I am di...

Hey grammy1. That makes sense especially considering your population. And you have a local physician signing off. Double good! My family has been here for more than two years(teachers tell me) and is slow to bring in Albuterol and Epi. Not sure why ...

I have to notify the parent that I can't accept it unfortunately. My state lists authorized subscribers "as persons licensed under (my) state law to provide healthcare to individuals and prescribe medication". I only called the pharmacy because the...

Thanks so much! I was here second guessing myself. When I called the pharmacy, they gave me an NPI number. When I looked it up, the provider's office is from out of state.

Hello! I worked as an NYC school nurse for a couple of years. I started off as an agency nurse in a contracted position and then was hired after applying during a DOH hiring event. I can't answer many questions about per diem work but there were pe...

I just found out that the online system my school uses for entering attendance/medical/immunizations/etc is not HIPPA compliant due to the fact that they are not a covered entity and because the PHI stored on their server is considered Education Rec...

Thank you Old Dude. I think I'll do just that. I try not to be too much of a worry wart but sometimes it leaps out before I can grab it!

Thanks! I appreciate that. I too think its ok for VP and Principal to have access. I didnt have alot of experience in a private school setting and so hearing that the system wasnt HIPPA compliant gave me some pause. Last school I worked in was publ...

I'm in an independent private school. (Sorry. I should've said that up front). No supervisor. My past experience and what I can glean from my state's nurse practice act dictates my policy for documentation, so I normally document everything. Previo...

I have had parents bring medication to the school so I can give it to their kids. I have to give my speech " According to state law and our student handbook, medications cannot be administered without an order from your health care pr......on and on....

Just went through something similar on my campus. I had one day with over 25 children on the same grade level and several in other grades inundate the medical room with ILI symptoms. I would have thought I was part of a prank if they didn't each look...

Whaaaaat! Telemedicine at school? That is awesome!

So you know my pain huh? Good idea! I'll do the same and post my state law as well.

This is how it should be! Thanks for responding. I hope my state lightens up on this soon.
