Jan 12, 20206 yr Expert I subbed last week and have been super sick since. Bronchitis, SOB, horrible cough, muscle aches, fever.Happened the first time I subbed, too.Tea, cough med, tylenol, steam up the bathroom and breath the steam, rest, chicken soup. Thank God for my wonderful family.Do you pick up a lot of illnesses from your students?Guess I will start using a mask and gloves.
Jan 16, 20206 yr I'm still a newer school nurse so I feel like my immune system is still struggling to keep up. My first year was the worst. I also have 2 littles at home so we are quite the germ factory.
Jan 17, 20206 yr I have yet to get sick this year (fingers crossed!!!) but I have been crazy with the Clorox wipes, gloves and if you even look remotely sick, you get a mask in my clinic! The kids hate it, but I DO NOT want all the junk they are bringing in here to me! Also, I swear by Emergen-C. One packet every morning on my way to school seems to do the trick. If I do start to feel like I am getting something, I increase it to two doses per day. Works like a charm!
