Thank you so much for sharing! Great suggestions - I will start with those! Appreciate it!

Hi everyone! First time posting. I am a new school RN at a STEM charter high school and new to school nursing in general (prior Med-Surg/Tele Float RN at a busy urban hospital). I just started yesterday and am trying to get organized for the year with little-to-no-guidance. I'm very excited about my new role but quite overwhelmed as this is uncharted territory for me. I'm trying to set up my own orientation with the middle school RN but she's not back from vacation yet. Anyway, I was doing an inventory check and looking over our EpiPen supply and discovered that they expired in 2019. I am eager to get the stock replenished with new ones and discovered the EpiPen4Schools.com website - great resource. However, of course there needs to be a provider's order/prescription to proceed. I called the website's number and emailed them but have not received a response. I've never obtained a standing order for a school/organization before. I've reached out to the staff currently orienting (mostly admin and teachers) and no one knows who wrote the order for the outdated EpiPens - or how do I go about getting a new order/prescription (I.e. physician at a doctor's office? physician with the health department? a physician's group that does this sort of thing routinely? or try to contact the physician who's name is on the expired box of EpiPens?). Thanks in advance!
