    Peanut Allergy Resolved... now what?

    Flare replied to k1p1ssk's topic in School

    so since it's mid year, I see no harm in keeping the allergy action plan in place and the epipen on hand for the rest of the year and simply not renewing for next year with the documentation you have...

    NJ Private School Med. Admin.

    i believe the state is very specific that a nurse or delegate giving approved medications (epi, glucagon and the newest to the team, naloxone) may administer meds in NJ. I believe that in a...

    do you have any recourse to exclude from school until compliance is met? I can do that with vaccines and entry physicals (after a certain

    Vaseline without parental permission?

    Flare replied to nyy2's topic in School

    i also will keep some mints on hand - but i've noticed some strange psychology. If my mint jar is full, it's like open season. But if I only keep 2 or 3 in there then almost nobody asks for one....

    Flare replied to jess11RN's topic in School

    Short of driving each individual child that hasn't complied, i'd say, you have it covered. Don't drive the children to the doctor - it'd be creepy and awkward!

    Second the notion that you learn quickly of who needs the hand hold calls. I generally make a quick call if there is some sort of injury resulting from a fight - but i make it clear that I don't know...

    Unassigned Epi Policy

    Flare replied to OldDude's topic in School

    hmm... hadn't considered how massive Texas is. In NJ we're so saturated that a response time of more than 15 minutes is more or less unacceptable for ems and in most places pd will be on scene within...

    Unassigned Epi Policy

    what type of coverage does your ems provide and what is their response time? Do they typically carry epi? Perhaps if they do and generally have a fast response then ems can simply be the

    Unassigned Epi Policy

    one of my concerns with including epipen coverage with my coaches would be proper handling. A few years ago the municipal alliance got a bee in their bonnet over narcan and woosh, now we have narcan...

    Unassigned Epi Policy

    so is this like having a stock epi for use with things like sports that a coach would carry? We don't have this in place here. We encourage the children that require epipens and who are on...
