I guess my dilemma is that during that 90 minutes that she slept what would you do if you were called away for any one of the million things we're called away for - for example kid having seizure in the classroom and needs his Diastat. We're not allowed to leave a 3-4 year old alone. It just makes me nervous. I'm thinking - does an RN need to watch a child with a fever sleep for 90 min. til dad arrives. When we had covid sick rooms we had para's watch the kids waiting in there not the nurse. If I had older kids it wouldn't be a problem since I guess they could be left alone. Thanks for the response! Good things for me to think about.

School nurses in preschools- where do your kids wait when going home sick? I'm talking about 3 and 4 year olds. I'm having a hard time keeping them in the health room due to not being able to watch them with other kids coming in, procedures needing to be done, meds to be given, and being called out of the health room often. Sometimes I have them wait in the classroom because they have their cot and blanket there and the rooms are big enough for them to be separated with enough distance. Of course with issues that need nurse attention I always keep them with me. Does anyone else with very young students sometimes let them wait for parents in the classroom when going home sick?

Does anyone here wear one of those ID badges that hangs below your school ID that gives your credentials in large letters? I feel that the small "RN" on my school-issued ID is not easily noticeable (by subs, visitors, social workers, parents, etc). As nurses we know the legal requirement of our credentials being clear.
