2. School Nurses: When is everyone back?

   SaltineQueen posted a topic in School

   Where are you located & what are this year’s protocols? I’m in Indiana. I go back Wednesday, the kids a week later (8/11). This year masks are optional (so probably 3 people will wear them). Not sure how much distancing will be maintained...

4. Got My Vaccine Yesterday

   SaltineQueen replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

   I had COVID in November. Per our state and the CDC you can choose to wait, but you can also go ahead & get it within that 90 days. The medical director of out county health department says go ahead and get it, especially if you had a mild case ...

5. Any Ohio SN?

   SaltineQueen replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

   I'm in Indiana. I think it's crazy how states in the same region are doing things so differently! Our admin & HD have been awesome. We're pretty much sticking with CDC guidelines. Indiana does support the 10 day early Q return with stipul...

7. Any Ohio SN?

   SaltineQueen posted a topic in School

   What are your thoughts on your new quarantine guidelines? How in the world is anyone going to keep track of whether or not masks were work and distance was maintained?

8. Got My Vaccine Yesterday

   SaltineQueen replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

   I've had one or two here & there over the last few years...but nowhere near as frequent as the last few days. I also have HTN, need to lose weight, and am stubborn & a terrible nurse-patient. ?? I did register with VSafe.

9. Vision activity page

   SaltineQueen posted a topic in School

   Does anyone have any cute activity sheets or coloring sheets for kids who get glasses? I have a group of siblings getting them, who we really worry will lose or break them fairly quickly. I was trying to find something to really get them excited ab...

10. Got My Vaccine Yesterday

    SaltineQueen replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I got my first dose of Pfizer Saturday & have been having alarmingly frequent PACs. Doc's feeling is that it's because my sympathetic nervous system is in high gear producing antibodies. I'll probably be wearing a Holter over the weekend.

12. Elementary nurses - mask question

    SaltineQueen replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    We had a student at one of our elementaries get “lanyard burns” (for lack of a better word I guess) on his neck when his breakaway lanyard didn’t breakaway. I was worried something like that would happen. I would seriously rethink lanyards if I wer...

    SaltineQueen replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    We started last Wednesday full in person. It’s going very well. I’m with littles, in a smaller school. Kids are doing awesome so far. Hopefully parents will cooperate this year. Prayers for all of us!

14. It felt wrong...

    SaltineQueen posted a topic in School

    Sent a kid home first day of school. Fever, stomachache & nausea. Likely not COVID but what if... Thankfully mom was cool with the situation. This year is going to be so hard. ?
