LPN restrictions in school setting
Hi Flare, This is everything I read as well, and just couldn't decipher exactly what they were allowing. It's like they say no, but kind of yes, but really wouldn't but might be able to. Thank you for reaching out. Yes, Tining in a school setting.

How has your role as a school nurse changed with COVID?
I have become Covid cop. I hate it. no one comes in anymore, everyone hates getting emails from me now. Parents do not want their kids screened in the office for fear of being exposed, so I asked for physicals but they won't get physicals in their Dr's offices for fear of getting exposed. Chasing teachers to keep masks on, (seriously you are adults, and you are acting worse than the kids) I miss being a school nurse..I miss the happy, fun days, the whole school day is sad.

Walk Up Thermometer
no they are not as accurate.. I get an alert on my phone every time..yes every time a reading is over 100.0. so far in one morning..my alerts have been 138..142..123 125 137 yes you must keep your mask on, if you are wearing glasses, have bangs, hair mused up, holding coffee, cloudy skies, singing, forgot to put in conditioner in the shower, forgot to pack your kids lunch, etc you will get an inaccurate reading. waste of money.

Tired of being "the bad guy"...
I am soooo glad to hear that it is just not me who feels like we went from being such a respected profession to "meanies" and all we are doing in passing on the info that is given to us. We are implementing the info which is given to us. My staff literally gets furious at me, when a new policy or procedure comes out. not fun at all anymore. I also hate that my phone never ever stops ringing. Like Im supposed to be on call for all questions , all weekend.. come on

Face masks
Our district has decided... staff: if you think you need a mask to wear during school hours, then go home bc we are not giving masks to healthy people. students: have high fever, coughing, you are going home and while waiting on your parents, put this mask on (no, not N95) reg loop mask. The chaos that would incur if student saw a staff member wearing a mask!!

Providing Care to Staff
here is my two cents..again its what I do...not telling anyone what to do. teacher comes in for a BP check and its way high..I say you need to leave to go to Dr now and they say no I can make it, if they refuse, I immediately call the principal in..heres why. the said teacher decides to stay the whole day then strokes out while driving home...kills self and other driver..who do you think is responsible? yes ..me as the last person to care for her. They are adults, but if you are not going to take my advice..dont come in. I have been put in several situations and never again will that happen. my license is too precious

If your teacher says you should go home, you're probably ok to stay
my teachers stopped doing this doing my first year when I marched into the classroom and asked to see her grade book and proceeded to change grades,... I asked if she can do my job without any experience then I can do hers....

I hope this passes in NJ
No more opting out of vaccinations for religious reasons: The Legislature may eliminate the religious exemption that allowed 14,000 students in the state to decline vaccines last year. Some of the hundreds of parents who attended a Statehouse hearing on the bill on Thursday accused the state of violating their First Amendment right to religious freedom, vowing to pull their children out of school or relocate out of New Jersey. The president of the New Jersey chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, meanwhile, argued that their “right to practice religion freely does not include ... exposing the community or a child to a communicable disease.” The bill would allow children to seek an exemption only for medical reasons. The state Health Department would define which health conditions would qualify, and a physician, advance practice nurse or physician assistant must verify in writing the child had the disqualifying illness, according to the bill. The bill gained momentum in January, after a measles outbreak dominated the news. There have been 19 confirmed cases of measles this year in New Jersey, and 1,276 nationwide.
