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...

Wow! Where are you located?

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...

Well, I'm on AN in the middle of my day, so... ??

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 ...

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...

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?

Well thank you

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.

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.

My state put out a handy calculator. Scroll down a little bit. https://www.coronavirus.in.gov/2400.htm

...and how are you feeling about things? I go back the 5th. Kids are supposed to start the 12th. I’m not holding my breath though. My county is the only county in the state that didn't advance a stage the last time the governor loosened the reigns...

So in our state we have been told that when the kids are in their classroom, sitting down, socially distanced, facing the same direction like when the teacher is doing instruction the kids can take off their masks. Also the kids can take off their ma...

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...

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. ?

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!

My isolation room is across the hall from the office, my clinic is in the office. If I’m with someone in the clinic, our secretary or someone can stand in the hall, or something...I guess, to keep an eye on any kiddo in there. I’m hoping to not hav...

Yes. We are requiring a doctor note In order to wear a face shield. Wearing nothing is not an option for in person school.

I think it’s going to be mass chaos. A total sh!t show. ?? But for real...I’m stressed!

We keep asking for guidance on best practice but haven’t seen anything yet. That was my concern with the lanyards - they’re going to be flopping around & touching everything. Maybe I’ll teach them to clip both loops on so that the inside is fol...

Was the school you got your AA from accredited? That’s my worry...any decent school will prepare you and make sure you know what the next steps should be after graduating. Even with moving they could have told you A, B, C, steps.

We are told that one sx is enough to send someone home. BUT we have also been told that we can use some judgement. So my plan is to try to make a quick 10-ish minute decision, especially if it’s a kid we know has a history of being a FF or allergie...

Even under normal circumstances I would not recommend a new grad take a school nurse job. Add in all this year’s crap...no way. It’s very intimidating being the only medical professional in the building. You don’t know what you need to know until ...

I think this is what we’re doing too. But I honestly can’t remember any more.
