    New To School Nursing, No EHR

    Flare replied to NurseMiss's topic in School

    if cost is a factor, maybe look into CareDox. I believe it's free to schools for use as an EHR. Edit to add: I've never used Caredox, so I can't attest to the quality of it or ease of

    School Nurse Software System

    Flare replied to Schoolhealthrocks's topic in School

    I use frontline / health office anywhere. In the past, I'd tell you it's really good, but they overhauled it and now I find it clunky to use. I'm not saying it's a bad one, but I am seriously...

    Thoughts??

    Flare replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    It sounds like you did a great job! It can be a really tough call of Epi or no epi. In your state, are you able to give a "stock epi" without an order? In NJ we can give stock epi, but we need to...

    LPN restrictions in school setting

    Flare replied to palli's topic in School

    So... this one's a bit of a mess, in my humble opinion. Back in 2019 there was a law passed: https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2018/Bills/PL19/118_.PDF allowing the self administration of...

    Parental Consent for Telehealth

    Flare replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    looks like a good form. What are you using the telehealth visits for? Student illness concerns? Mental health? I find the concept interesting, but I couldn't figure out how to effectively

    Dental action plan

    Flare replied to Alexandra28's topic in School

    I agree - a 504 or the NZ equivalent -may be just the thing. In the past I've had students be allowed modified schedules, no-consequence absences & tardies, extra time for assignments, etc....

    MSN - which degree is right for a school nurse?

    Flare replied to KSRN's topic in School

    There are a few programs around the country that are MSN in school nursing. I tend to agree with Jedrnurse that public health is a good pick. I am currently doing mine in emergency
