  1. Any nurses NOT responsible for contact tracing?

    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...
  2. Any nurses NOT responsible for contact tracing?

    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,...
  3. Test to Stay

    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...
  4. SY 2021-2022 Roll Call

    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...
  5. School Nurses: When is everyone back?

    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,...
  6. Vision/Hearing exams on preschool age children

    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....
  7. 1 day left

    Same!! Kids are done tomorrow at Noon! I came back Monday for Inservice, but then we are done!! All year in
  8. Do You Work at Your Kid's School?

    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...
  9. Weirdest Thing About School Nursing...

    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...
  10. Happy Nurse's week.... I guess

    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...
  11. 40 days left!!

    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,...
  12. 40 days left!!

    I have 40 school days left of this Sh#t Show of a year - anyone else counting
  13. Happy Nurse's week.... I guess

    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...
  14. School Nurse Software System

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

    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...
  16. 40 days left!!

    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
  17. 40 days left!!

    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...
  18. 2021-22 contracts?

    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...
  19. 40 days left!!

    We have also been in person all
  20. Staying or Going?

    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...
  21. 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...
  22. If you have gotten your COVID Vaccine...

    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...
  23. School Nurse Pay

    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
  24. Will you take the Pfizer Covid Vaccine?

    Got my shot yesterday!! Only side effect so far is a very sore
  25. Will you take the Pfizer Covid Vaccine?

    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...
