I can't speak for the original poster - but not every school district has multiple buildings. I am the nurse for our entire school district also, ECIP/PreK/JK/K-12 grades. But, we are all in one building, about 600 students total. So it is very...

In my school, the Principals and Secretaries work together to contact trace. They are the ones who know what classes the students have, who they sit by, what sports they are in, if they ride the bus, what daycare they go to, and on and on... I do...

We only do this with staff. Staff who are close contacts are tested on day 1, 5 and 10. They are asked to mask for those 10 days. Students who are close contacts are asked to mask for 10 days and get tested if any symptoms develop.

I'm back. This is my 7th year as a school nurse. Covid has definitely made the job harder and much less enjoyable these last couple years, but I remind my self daily that this job is still better than anything else!!

Staff are back 8/17, kids are back 8/25. We are starting school as normal with no Covid precautions other than enhanced cleaning that was put in place last year. Hope you heal quickly, Nutmegge!!

I am very lucky in this respect. We have a full time SLP, and she handles all the hearing exams. As for vision, we have our Lions club come in with their SPOT screener and do all PreK - 5th grade. I only do H/W/BP on the kids.

Same!! Kids are done tomorrow at Noon! I came back Monday for Inservice, but then we are done!! All year in person!

I have been in my kids school for 6 years now (k-12) and my kids have always been good with it. Its a small town, so their friends already knew who I was. My oldest son who graduated 2 years ago loved to come in my office and nap, grab snacks, ba...

In no other setting have I felt so strangely visible as a job (especially during COVID), but invisible as a person. I really feel this sentence. The only staff I feel very close to, or those that have taken any interest in me as a person, are...

That's why I loved the banner so much. It was just a big piece of paper they took from the copy room, but I know as all the kids stopped to sign it, they thought of someway I had helped them, or how I was there to help them if they should need it. ...

Today my white board is "O is for Outside to Play and Orange to wear" with 12 days of school left!! (Tomorrow is P for Pajamas - woo!!) Plus, I am taking two days off for my daughters graduation, AND our last day is a half day....SO.....I'm under ...

I have 40 school days left of this Sh#t Show of a year - anyone else counting down???

One year (out of my 6 years here), the SPED department hung a banner outside my office that said "We love our school nurse" and then a bunch of kids signed it. I really enjoyed that, because it wasn't alot of "in person" attention and I hung the b...

I use the one that is built into Infinite Campus. I've never used anything else to compare, but I like it well enough.

I plan to increase my hours at the nursing home I PRN at. I currently do one weekend a month, but I'll probably do 1-2 shifts a week throughout the Summer. We are having Summer school here for the first time to catch up kids that fell behind due...

Good idea - but No, C will be for Chalk! And I am counting school days with students. There are a few days I'll have to be here for inservice without kids, but those aren't in the count.

Someone in Elementary discovered that yesterday (Monday) marked the 26th day left of school. So they started the "Alphabet Countdown"! I have joined in by decorating my white board on my office door in accordance with the day. Yesterday was "A ...

Our contracts usually come out sometime in April. They are very simple, one pagers, that simply offer you the job at x rate of pay, for x amount of days, for total of x amount of money. Only thing ever different is if we get a raise. I plan on ...

We have also been in person all year!

I'll be back unless something else fantastic shows up miraculously. My school handled Covid very well, we have been in person since the beginning, and I would say I had more of a "change" in duties, rather than a drastic increase. I think next y...

This has been one of our mitigation strategies all year so that we can have in person school. Each class has to turn in a seating chart to the office, and they keep it the same unless absolutely necessary! There are video cameras for lunch time. ...

I got the Moderna. First shot was 12/ 29 - only symptom was a very sore arm the next day. Felt like I was punched HARD! I got my second shot yesterday, 1/27, at 4pm. Arm was getting sore by the time I went to bed. I slept OK, but was awar...

Sorry, probably not that clear. X days per year x 7.5 hours per day = total hours per year. Take that x hourly pay = yearly pay. Then divide yearly pay by 12 months = monthly pay.

Got my shot yesterday!! Only side effect so far is a very sore arm.

My side job is in LTC, so I'm sure I will be offered it soon (not Pfizer, as I'm fairly rural and there won't be enough doses to get to my area) and I'll be glad to take it when offered. My 17 y/o daughter works for an assisted living and is also a...
