    Abstinence Programs

    KeeperOfTheIceRN posted a topic in School

    I literally have no clue how to establish an abstinence program. We WERE using the Draw the Line/Respect the Line program but apparently they want $5,000-$10,000 for training of new staff members to...

    100% Vaccination compliance and classroom first aid kits

    KeeperOfTheIceRN posted a topic in School

    I hate both of these. While, when it is all said and done, all 3 of my campuses WILL BE 100% compliant on the vaccination forefront, I still despise having to chase them down. Really guys....

    Abstinence Programs

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Honestly, Peak, I'm not sure if there is a requirement for a formal curriculum or not. This is something that was just thrown at me and I have no idea where to start with it. Thus my grasping for help...

    PRN medications

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Great advice guys, thanks!!! I do feel I should state that I DO do some kind of assessment on everyone who comes in my office. It's not like I just hand the meds over all "willy nilly" I especially...

    Next steps in nursing career after BSN

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Meerkats's topic in School

    Even in nursing school I was warned that most nurses don't take well to those that have been nurses for a while but have no bedside/hospital experience. I was told their tolerance was super super low...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

    This sounds like how my year is going so far almost to a "T". Only I haven't had "that parent". Mine typically forget I even exist until I call them because their kid is missing something Nevermind...

    Too Sick To Stay Policy?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to ArryOtter's topic in School

    Actually, I have several parents that are glad I'm sending their kiddos home. But those are the ones who follow the policies and who's kiddos I don't see on a regular basis. Also, most of my parents...

    Texas school nurses- Immunizations

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    That would be really nice if they did that for y'all. It's hard to troubleshoot a problem with a program when you're not there to physically help. Maybe another person in your school can help you with...

    Oh dang. We use Skyward too and I'll agree, its definitely tedious! I was taking records home this summer to make sure mine were entered in in time as well. Run a list to see WHO is in Skyward already...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

    DUDE. I wish I would've looked into that sooner. I may look into that next year if they don't make me full time and/or hire at least one extra nurse. I'd even settle for an

    Passing the equipment around the day before is a great idea. I'll definitely do that. Also, this is the first year I've had K-2nd. I was not aware of the AN screening, so I'm glad y'all mentioned it....
