    Exclusion Guidelines- AHHH

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to WyVy's topic in School

    Elementary nurses - mask question

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Not sure if this is a great idea, but our district is providing neck gaiters to every staff and student. This was their idea for this topic. That way, they just have to pull it down when not using it...

    Do you think schools will resume this year?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to hoppynurse's topic in School

    We decided to remain on our online platform for the remainder of the year back in March. I've been coming in about 1-2 times/week since all of this started. Our Mayor put a "locked office" amendment...

    What will school nursing look like after this pandemic?

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    No changes as of yet, but I am anticipating a very busy Summer to establish just that. New protocols. New policies. New screening of sick kids. All of it. I think we're about to become very popular...

    Now that we are working from home . . .

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to tining's topic in School

    Coronavirus and Schools

    KeeperOfTheIceRN posted a topic in School

    Looking for opinions here! I personally (and professionally, I suppose) have taken a very relaxed approach to the current situation. That's not to say that I haven't been reading a few articles about...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School
