  4. One more round of "What Would You Do?"

    schooldistrictnurse replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in School

    My school district works the same as AdobeRN. Our EMS people are VERY willing to come and assess a student or faculty member and the only charge is if they transport. One thought that hasn't been...

    schooldistrictnurse replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

    schooldistrictnurse replied to rejula's topic in School

  12. HIPAA, FERPA and how do you inform teachers about the health concerns in their class?

  13. Frequent Flier Teachers

    schooldistrictnurse replied to Kschaefer90's topic in School

    Ask if you can have 5 minutes at a staff meeting to let all teachers know what is an appropriate trip to the nurse. I remember someone said once "the 3 B's". Send a child if they're 1. bleeding 2....

    schooldistrictnurse replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

    Maybe you can do some of the classes while working and then you might have to quit or take a leave to do the clinical parts. You might try posting the question in the NP board for their

  18. LPN working as school nurse in pa

    schooldistrictnurse replied to shamirad's topic in School

    I know it's just a matter of semantics, but just to clarify, all States do not require school nurses to be certified. So in some states, you can be a school nurse and call yourself that without being...

  22. Security During High Stakes Testing

    schooldistrictnurse replied to amble26's topic in School
