Your "state" department of state health services may have some useful information regarding school health. For example here is the Texas DSHS link https://www.dshs.texas.gov/texas-school-health I found policies on there from an ISD in Texas that could be useful in creating yours.

Ugh yes!! A pet peeve of mine too... When my staff come down for something medically we are told to refer them to their PCP. Our school physician is a pediatrician so we just tell them that we can't help them as we are not under a family doctor, only pediatrics. Of course, if it is emergent we will absolutely help them. We also have Tylenol and Ibuprofen available. This will be going away though when we run out of stock medications so I have been pre-warning them. I wonder what the use for the gauze is? I would simply tell them you don't have any for them. Or something along the lines of "Our supplies are budgeted for the remainder of the school year, and once you are out of supplies you will not have a supply for the students, therefore you are not able to accommodate any staff members". Then next school year, set the ground rules at the start of the school year for those things. ? I know it's easier said then done.... Good luck!

I am trying to get some ideas for breast cancer awareness month at my school for Employees. I am new at school nursing and was just informed that this is on my list of "to Dos". Every Wednesday I have to give some sort of treat. The ideas I have: 1. Water bottles with pink lemonade crystal light packets. 2. Jeans Pass with pink shirts ($5.00) in which will be donated to Susan G. Komen 3. Pink gum packets 4. Cake or Cupcakes with pink and white. Help! Any ideas?? I have 85 employees and they need to be cheap and not time consuming! Thanks!!!!

Hello! I am interviewing for high school nurse position and was looking for any tips/advice?? I have interviewed before for an elementary and thought the interview went SO good but I didn't get the position! I really want this as it is something I have always wanted and works great for my kids schedule! My current experience is 7 years NICU with transport nurse and charge nurse experience (which I REALLY played up on my last interview). Please any advice and tips will be greatly appreciated as I am sooo nervous!!! Thanks!!
