    Tell me about high school nursing

    GdBSN replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I made the transition from elementary to HS 2 years ago. Best decision, I love HS. I have 10 daily meds that I give between morning and after lunch. Most of my diabetic and epi-pen students are...

    GdBSN replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    Broken leg/Ambulance

    GdBSN replied to peaceful2100's topic in School

    Do you have albuterol standing orders or a respiratory distress protocol?

    GdBSN replied to great_lakes_expat's topic in School

    ^^^This^^^ Every school district should have standing orders and supplies just like this. Whoever got these policies in place should be applauded. As school nurses we should have these tools...

    Diabetic "supplies"

    GdBSN replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    My thought is, that if the app is used to monitor her BS, then the student should only use it for that. If the student is using her phone for social media etc, then that is a discipline issue that...

    What State are you in and when is your next break?

    GdBSN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    It really depends on the area and district you are looking at. Schools in the bigger cities pay nurses on the teacher's scale. Rural areas don't pay as well. Most districts require 1-2 years of...

    GdBSN replied to Farawyn's topic in School
