Walk Up Thermometer

[tining, BSN, RN]

Does anyone have a "walk up thermometer" on their campus?  If you do, which one did you choose and why.  How many students are on your campus?

No, they promised us at my high school of 2000 plus but we never got it. They depend on the parents to do it before coming to school. Not enough staff to oversee the wall scanners. I see many on Amazon that attaches to walls ranging around 90 bucks. They probably are just as accurate as of the forehead ones we hold. duh

no they are not as accurate.. I get an alert on my phone every time..yes every time a reading is over 100.0.

so far in one morning..my alerts have been 138..142..123 125 137 yes you must keep your mask on, if you are wearing glasses, have bangs, hair mused up, holding coffee, cloudy skies, singing, forgot to put in conditioner in the shower, forgot to pack your kids lunch, etc you will get an inaccurate reading.

waste of money.

I think this is the best comment I've read in all my years on this site.
