Schools medical policy?
It had everything to do with it. I saw my opportunity and took advantage of it. Everything I have been wanting for the past few years I got - my own office, strict immunization record policy (students could start school without submitting a copy of their immunization records or exemption form), and a better medical software. ?

Social Media Worry
You handle yourself well. Some people are too sensitive and petty. Threatening people’s livelihood because you didn’t like their joke or opinion is beyond ridiculous. Some people are so miserable with themselves that they have no problem ruining other people’s lives. You sound like a very kind person and I am happy your nurse leader has your back. Think happy thoughts!

Lord- Coronavirus drama
Instead of going to each class do you think you can make announcement about hygiene over the loud speaker? I discussed proper hygiene during our morning announcement and posted what I discussed in the bulletin board. Also, our teachers had the option to play one or the other (links below) during homeroom. We are hoping the information we provided to our students will help calm any anxiety they may be having. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/02/28/809580453/just-for-kids-a-comic-exploring-the-new-coronavirus https://www.brainpop.com/health/diseasesinjuriesandconditions/coronavirus/

What gets me is a few of my coworkers have a office that they hardly use! I forgot to mention that parents and grandparents have made comments about me needing my own office for privacy. I let my boss know but I think the parents need to start telling my boss and not me.

The spirit room is about 15 feet from my desk. They cannot turn the room into a nurses office. My hope is they will decided to move my coworker who is using the nurses office. There are several big offices she could share with someone. My hope is they will decided to move my coworker who is using the nurses office.

Hi Everyone, I have been working at private school (K -12) for almost 3 years and I do not have my own office. Before I came on board they had the office manager handling all the medical issues and gave the nurses office to another admin team member. I sit in the front office out in the open with no privacy - Staff, parents, and visitors can hear everything. From my understanding HIPAA doesn't apply to schools, is this correct? Does FERPA protect students medical info? I have stressed my concern to my boss about having my own office. I do not think it's right that the students do not have a private place to speak with me about personal and sometimes embarrassing medical concerns. I am hoping there is something stating that schools should have a nurses (medical) office to protect students medical info. Also, I am not the only one concerned about not having my own office. Several of my students have mentioned to me that they wish I had my own office so, they can speak with me in private. My students and I try are best to whisper in hopes no one hears but it's not good enough for me.- C'Mon Now!
- Teacher appreciation week...
At my school they do a staff appreciation week, which was last week. All week we had a snack bar in our break room and each day a small gift in our box. This week they surprised us by letting us leave work 2 hours early. Wednesday's is half day for our students and we got to leave shortly after them, yay!- History of School Nursing
