New nurse, mid year

Basic infection control, blood born pathogen information, typical care of seizing students, asthma, common signs of hypoglycemia.

I don't have to do a presentation (yay) because we have videos :) One is about asthma and the others is about seizures and what they should do with them, or care of them :)

If I were you I would find some short videos that show what to do in case of an emergency, like if a student has a seizure or goes into anaphylactic shock.

I do a presentation at the beginning of the year for my building staff. I include how to get in contact with me, what should and should not be sent to the health office, I very briefly explain that in my state we follow exclusionary guidelines when we send students home so if I send a little one back to class there is a reason why, I explain our BIG 4 conditions (Allergy, Asthma, Seizures, Diabetes) with an extra emphasis on allergies and anaphylaxis. That is about it! Hope this helps

Food allergy training, review of fever, vomiting, diarrhea, head lice...

I'm adding nosebleeds to this years list. Yesterday was the second time I got called down to a room because "blood was everywhere" and the "bleed won't stop" and I arrived to find a student with tissue shoved into her nose, her head back and 2 drops of blood on a desk.

I conduct a session with our teachers on reasons to send students to the clinic, reasons not to send them, things to try before sending students, and what we are allowed to do for them in the clinic. I also go over our campus emergency plan, how to find medical alerts on students in their gradebook, notifying the clinic before field trips, and emphasize the fact that students should not be calling home from the classroom. Teachers have training videos that they watch before school starts, on things like bloodborne pathogens, anaphylaxis, seizures, etc, and I discuss individual students with health concerns at a different time.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Most of these topics are a constant here so I will definitely provide the school with some information!
