Good luck! We will of course be here to help!!!

Is anyone willing to share the med alert form (or whatever you use for communication) they send to the classroom teacher of a student with allergies or other medical information they need to know? I am currently revising some paperwork in my office ...

I don't have any other Nurse's in my district. The nurses from 2 other local districts and I all serve as a sounding board for one another at times. I always make sure the student could not be identified by the information I am giving and we all kn...

54 days left. but who's counting?

Summer Vacation!

The nurse before me was here for about 7 years but when she left they had subs for about 2 months before they found me. We are a 1 building district so I was on my own from day 1 which was very interesting. At the end of year 1 I went through every...

So glad to hear the good news!

I just picked one a long time ago because I hated seeing it blank. In my mind it's me all sweet and smiling on the outside even when people are driving me crazy and I'd love to give them a big shot of what I'm really thinking.

Nothing yet here either.

good for you! Enjoy your break and you'll be ready to tackle all the mess in the new year!

Friday cannot come soon enough!!!

One of the teachers in my building tagged me with this video yesterday-hysterical!

I am officially responsible for first aid and referral out to their doctor but that's it. I have done blood pressure checks, an eye exam for a driver's license and a TB check but I am not required to do them.

I work in a small school and wear many hats as well. One of those being Attendance. I do not worry about each period of the day attendance, just homeroom. If attendance is not in the system by a certain time, teachers get a call into their classro...

Congratulations on a successful first week. The first year is the hardest but you will find your groove. Good luck!

Hope you can work it all out and go back to being a School Nurse! Hang in there!

Off Wed, Thurs and Fri here. Cannot wait.

Good Job!!!!

Yeah I agree I never refuse to give the med but if I think it's a problem or a crutch I communicate that with the parents. There's always more to the story...

I created most of my own Health curriculum for grades k-6. I find that no one else does it the way I want it. I like to google health curriculum or health lesson for each grade and then I start with an idea there and go from there and design what I...

Epi pen for School program here as well. They have the info on what you need on their site. Our School Dr. was willing to sign standing orders and write a prescription for me. The whole process was pretty easy. Good luck!

That's great! I love teaching the little guys! They get really into it.

I was thinking the same thing. I never seem to have any down time.

School Nursing is not for everyone but based on all the School Nurses I know (IRL and on AN) I'm guessing you won't be bored for long. Yes in School Nursing it's not always emergency here, problem here type of busy but I never finish what I need to ...

We have to do one in NY as well. I found out about it 2 days into my new job all those years ago because I started in November and the Health Department was calling to find out why ours had never been submitted for the year. It was due in October! ...
