1. Weirdest Thing About School Nursing...

   WineRN replied to guest464345's topic in School

   I'm at a k-5 and maybe it's because like the above mentions, I talk with my staff so often since the littles are always getting hurt, we know each other better. How involved in you with school things? I feel like the more they see you outside o...

2. NCSN

   WineRN replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

   CONGRATULATIONS!! That test is definitely a tough one!

3. Teacher Issue...

   WineRN replied to CarlyCastaneda's topic in School

   I'm the odd one out here but I would talk with the teacher the next morning when kids weren't around if possible and see if maybe the student was having a bad day or hard time in class since your assessment showed they were fine medically and the par...

4. Kids staying home

   WineRN replied to nursey_717's topic in School

   I do similar to the above where we share the list of high and low risk symptoms and request testing for any high risk and more than 1 low risk. I've had a handful of positive, ALL started with low risk symptoms

5. That was a first

   WineRN replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

   Amazing job! They are lucky they have you there to save lives!!

6. I'm tired!

   WineRN replied to Avill's topic in School

   I agree with so much of the above. Just hold on! I feel like every day since it's gotten warm here I've been having more "normal" interactions with my students and staff instead of being the "COVID news bringer" that I was in the Winter and fall. I...

7. Positive Case after both vaccines

   WineRN replied to NurseMom1972's topic in School

   Two in my building BUT they weren't at the 14-day mark from their second (One was 2 days out and the other was 11)

8. New To School Nursing, No EHR

   WineRN replied to NurseMiss's topic in School

   I might throw in a little scare tactic about security. Word docs are not a secure form of charting. If anyone gets access to your computer or if a virus attacks your computer those files are at risk and FERPA is a BIG deal. Or if the computer crashes...

9. School Nurse Software System

   WineRN replied to Schoolhealthrocks's topic in School

   I love SNAP. It was made specifically for school nurses. You can pull data reports on everything from med administration to visit log information, it has a lot of templates which save time and it's pretty user friendly

10. Your MOST Memorable (Good/Bad) COVID Moment | Nurses Week Contest

    WineRN replied to Joe V's topic in COVID

    I work at a school. Child comes in with a fever and dry cough so I call home. Parent answers and immediately says "It's probably COVID because his babysitter had it". I asked when the last time they saw the babysitter and parent responds "T...

11. No Microchip In This Needle

    WineRN replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Well looks like you can ambulate on your own!

12. Medication Error in School

    WineRN replied to uofanurse's topic in School

    I second this. I just caught up on a thread and part of me wants to tell you to stay just so then if this IS a malicious attempt by your supervisior she does something else to give your lawyer more ammo to bury her in the dirt. And if it isn't and it...

13. Considering Becoming A School Nurse

    WineRN replied to kkadi's topic in School

    I went from adults to school nursing and it is a BIG adjustment dealing with both your students and their parents. The other big adjustment was being the ONLY medically minded person in the building. You don't realize how different a nurse thinks unt...

14. What are some of your office policies?

    WineRN replied to scuba nurse's topic in School

    This is what my district uses regarding COVID http://wupaarc.wustl.edu/COVID-19-and-Children/Algorithms-for-Clinicians-and-Schools/-School-based-Algorithm

15. Summer Summer Summer!

    WineRN replied to guest83140's topic in School

    We are hoping to travel a little but I have two littles and a bun in the oven so I'm just looking forward to backyard adventures in the pool and in the garden. I will do the NASN virtual conference though because work just offered to pay for it ...
