Hi! This is my first year as a school nurse in Phoenix and have a few questions for those of you with more experience. I work at a K-6 charter school (400+ students) and am not sure what to do with medications at the end of the year. Our school supplies tylenol, motrin and benadryl but I have a bunch of inhalers and epi-pens. I was planning on sending an email to the parents to pick them up or I can keep them for next year (new permission slip next year). Is that Ok or do they need to be sent home or desroyed? Also, are we required to do any sort of care plans for kids with chronic conditions? Does anyone know of a good electronic med administration documentation program? We use Schoolmaster for everything else, but I'm not really impressed with the nursing documentaion. thanks so much!
