    Strange New World

    Flare replied to CJforme01's topic in School

    for me, we are not back yet. The plan as of today is a hybrid of present and distance learning. If we aren't going to see students in school, I have already gotten approval from my superintendent to...

    What will you wear?

    Flare replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    actually, I was thinking that I'd keep with the practice I started last school year of wearing a uniform (a la @OldDude). I think I will get in the habit of changing before I go home, so I'm not...

    Type of mask or face covering?

    Flare replied to IsItFridayYetRN's topic in School

    I'm supposedly supposed to have one iso room for in each school (I'n the lone nurse in a 2 school district). No guidance on how this will actually work, who will man it, who will escort student to...

    What to wear?

    Flare replied to scuba nurse's topic in School

    Contract for parents before students return to school

    Flare replied to nicole.schoolRN's topic in School

    I like the idea of this, but I am not sure if it'll give the teeth we'd want it to. I might bring up this idea to my

    Incoming Seizure Disorder

    Flare replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    In NJ we can't delegate diastat. Unfortunately, I am not certain what TX laws are, but we have a few TX school nurses here. Hopefully they will weigh in. If you don't have a seizure action plan...

    Flare replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in School

    it's a hot mess... I'm on my districts re-opening committee and I gave them almost 4 pages of recommendations, concerns, etc (I also shared it on here somewhere) and the powers that be had an answer...

    Too much to learn for non-peds nurse? How long to earn retirement?

    Flare replied to buckmarko's topic in School

    So a few things to consider: many districts do not advance on the salary guide with time spent in the hospital in mind. Meaning that if you had worked for 3 years as a school nurse and decided to...

    Temps at the door?

    Flare replied to cmh1118's topic in School

    The overall is that the state (at least MY state) is giving no guidance on this. I guess they're planning on being reactive instead of proactive. I regularly use contactless thermometers in my...

    Immunization Audit—-fail?

    Flare replied to cmh1118's topic in School

    We could have potentially gotten in trouble. The state here reserves the right to fine the district and principal 250 per student per day for knowingly having non-compliant students in attendance. I...

    Flare replied to cmh1118's topic in School
