EB12

Thank you for all the helpful comments. Today made me feel a lot better as I finished 1st grade. Just have 3rd and kindergarten plus scoliosis (which I scheduled for next week). I spoke with the principal last week and she put out an email/announcement for only urgent visits. (Blood or flood) lol. That definitely has made a science although I still get plenty of my frequent flyers trying to sneak in while "passing by". I just found out we are relocating so it is very likely we are moving before the 15-16 school year starts. Good luck to you !

Needing some suggestions. Started half way through the year as a new school nurse without any orientation. The elementary school I am in is extremely busy and I basically have my own classroom of students half of the time. I have tried to lay down the law a bit but it hasn't seemed to help much. now I am in a crunch with just a few weeks to finish the remainder of hearing/vision screenings as well as scoliosis. I'm surprised I have gotten as many done as I have thus far. Needless to say, I was unable to get a sub to assist take care of the office visits while I do the Screenings. The per diem/substitute nurses we have do not ever pick up time or barely call back when you call them. I have several nurses who were previous coworkers of mine who were very interested in subbing but that seems to not have been a priority when I mentioned it to anyone. However they are looking into getting possible part time help for next year. I can't wait for the next 4 weeks to be over ! I can do this! needing positive thoughts and any advice would be greatly appreciated !

I am a new school nurse, just started in January, I have alot to learn! I have a ton of questions however, one in particular about lice. I have had quite a few students with lice and parents have asked me if I have lice combs or supplies. And conversation approaches for families, or upset parents finding out their child has or STILL has lice, despite reported treatment at home. Is there anywhere that will send free combs or supplies to hand out to families in need? Thank you!
