I don’t live in FL so I’m not sure how this works but we have to have a Medical Director and he writes our scripts. He also is the one who wrote the policy for the standing order. Did you ask your supervisor?

I’m not a regular poster but am a “regular” (you don’t see me, but I’m here every day) and often use ? for advice. OldDude, you’ve left your mark on this board with your wisdom and humor. Thank you! You have worked hard and served your students well!! Wishing you all the best in the next phase of your life...you’ve earned it!

I give a 10:30am dose of clonidine to one of my middle schoolers. In this case, it's to help with symptoms of Tourette's. Several months ago they d/c'd the 10:30am dose (was prescribed TID) but after two months he asked his doctor to go back to the previous dosing because he was getting frustrated and distracted by the increase in his tics at school.

I'm back and looking forward to year 2 Thong Thursday, you say? I must have skipped over that memo last year

I'm in NY & our school year ends late- June 24th. I have two weeks off & agreed to work the first 3 weeks of summer school - July 11-29. I'll be off most of August. The HS Nurse and I run two physical days with the district Doctor for sports & have to be around the first couple days of modified football practices to clear athletes. I worked July last year too and didn't mind it. I'm relatively new at the school thing and am sure the novelty of summer school will wear off in the next year or two.

This is how it has been handled at the school district I work in. I am very proud of all the students and how accepting and supportive they are of their classmate. From gay to transgender, Cheektowaga student finds acceptance
