    Grade levels. Pros and cons?

    How large is your school?

    I am in a tiny school Pk-6, about 100 kids (hence my username). I average about 15 visits per day + any prn or scheduled meds. Because we are so small I have a lot of other roles in the building....

    HPV Vaccine

    I am in an Elementary School and it is not required so it has not really come up. Personally I have 2 boys that I have chosen not to give the HPV vaccinate at this time. I am not anti-vaccine in any...

    Not enough to go around......

    There is a new law here that allows us to train others to use stock epi as well BUT my School Doctor is NOT signing off on that for our standing orders (I don't blame him). Thankfully it is not...

    where are you from

    Another NY School Nurse here. I don't belong to the State or National organizations. We have an amazing website and Student Health resource center in New York so I haven't found the need. I am not...

    Not enough to go around......

    I only send epi pens for those students who have a known allergy and therefore have an epi pen provided by their parents. My standing orders allow for Stock epi pens only to be administered by an RN...

    How many visits make a frequent flyer.

    That's terrible! I have to say I am very lucky with the PTA and parents we have at my school. I am always included in Teacher appreciation day and each year the teachers get the kids to do something...
