Hello fellow school nurses! I am wondering your favorite ways to accumulate CEUs. I am a member of NASN and that has been my online go-to. Any other websites that are favorites? Thanks in advance!

Hello! My district uses PowerSchool for charting. However, we are still using the students pupil file to enter screening results, and by that, I mean entering by hand the results of all screenings with pen and paper. I am new to the district.....having some pushback as some prefer the paper/pen method, but there is a section in PowerSchool to enter these results and it just seems more efficient to me. One argument is that the students pupil file goes with them if they transfer out and powerschool information does not. (Seems easy to enough to print, however.) What are others doing who use PowerSchool, SkyWard or some other computerized system? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Thanks everyone! I'm just starting this school nurse thing after decades in the ICU, so my mind jumps to worst case scenario. It's quite an adjustment and I'm learning a lot. 😊

Yes, we check blood sugars and use the pump to correct/bolus.

I have a diabetic student with a pump, but mom is refusing to bring in extra insulin and syringes because she doesn't want anyone injecting her daughter at school. I get it, but in the case of pump malfunction, what if mom can't respond? I don't want to get stuck in a bad situation. Anyone ever encounter this? Does Mom have the right to override me?
