  7. Inhaler use prior to P.E.

    SnugglePuggle replied to Nurse.jen's topic in School

    Personally, I would FAX the Medication Order to the physician with a request to modify it to include pre exercise prevention, per parents request. This takes me just a few minutes. I might even place...

    SnugglePuggle replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Same goes for school nurses! A very dear school nurse friend in a neighboring district was reported to the BON for not essentially not coddling the student. Parent first complained to the principal...

  14. Macy's is Open

    SnugglePuggle replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

  20. Flu and Returning to School

    SnugglePuggle replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    My State Health Department follows CDC guidelines and the 24 hour rule. We have students on TamiFlu returning to school within 2-3 days of diagnosis. I guess my concern is that even though Tamiflu...

  21. Sports Physicals

    SnugglePuggle replied to Cattz's topic in School

    I have absolutely nothing to do with them. As great as this may sound, non-involvement presents a problem for me. This year, purely by chance, I found out about several athletic students with asthma...

    SnugglePuggle replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    SnugglePuggle replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School
