High BP in High Schooler
Sorry, a bit of an off topic question, but tell me about calling a squad at your school? Who all does that involve and how does that happen? I did school nursing for a couple years a few years ago, and I'm mulling around the idea of going back once my littlest starts kindergarten next year. We didn't have anything like that and if it is what it sounds like, that would have been amazing.

$$ to spend
Oh man, what a great problem to have! I would also get an AED if I had that kind of money to spend!

The Not So "Nursey" Things...
I love that about the hair ties! I'm sure I'll be using that. Pipe cleaners also work well if you don't have zip ties.

The Not So "Nursey" Things...
Knots. I really don't get this one... Sure, with shoe or pants issues, I have the better tape and the safety pins and the replacement clothes if they need that. But knots? Didn't receive any special training on knots in nursing school...

Poison ivy?
That seems odd to me. I will recommend a visit to Dr if the rash is on their face or is getting worse, but other than that, they'll be fine. I wonder if she does think it's contagious...

Lice Options
My families have had a lot of success with the prescriptions Natroba and Sklice. They actually do kill the eggs (unlike some of the OTCs that say they do but don't) and are super easy to use and are usually covered by insurance or Medicaid.
