question---How many?

[Bulldogs]

I am the only one district wide of about 700-750 students with approximately 350 elementary. My office is based at the elementary the middle school and high school handle the majority of things at the other campuses unless they need my help. I am responsible for all immunizations and screenings per Texas state law and entering this information. The first semster of this year I have seen over 1,300 students, middle school has seen 160, and High school has seen about 130. I have done over 550 vision hearing and scoliosis screenings. What kind of numbers are you seeing?

I added a student follow up code and denoted email , faxing, telephone conversations. Amazing how much time during the day I spend doing that!!

Yall have me wanting to chart every follow up phone call/email! I think I will. I have a follow up code on my charting system.

This is my first year as a school nurse. We are a charter school so our reporting is optional and has never been done by my predecessors. The RN in me sees the value in it and I would like to implement some sort of system. I found an Excel spreadsheet on NASN, but I don't love it. Does anyone else have one that they've found to be particularly Nurse friendly?

Have 440 K-5th graders. Saw 1254 First Quarter Saw 1285 2nd Quarter. This is a huge improvement from last year. Saw 1529 1st Quarter Saw 1745 2nd Quarter. Overall in 2018-2019 I saw 7333 Students!!!! I had a serious talk with staff. Shut down the lost tooth visits ( gave teachers the treasure chests and instruction on hand washing) also gave the teachers a container of vaseline and cotton swabs for the chapped lips visits. Last year those visits totaled 250 alone. Sometimes I feel like Im losing my mind. Assessing treating and charting while trying to get screens done, reports written, referrals sent and followed up on. Not too mention the phone calls, drop in teacher parent visits. I love the kids, but am exhausted. My son laughs, by 7:30 on Friday night, Im in my pjs and about to head to bed!!!!!!

This is my life I am suffering extreme burn out right now and so far behind. My contract is 197 so I start school before the kids come back and leave after they do for the summer so I have some quiet time to get things done. These short dark dreary no recess days make my numbers increase.
