What? I have to participate in the Open House?!?

Published

New school nurse (as in 3 weeks old) and I need to have a table for the upcoming open house (small private school K-8). What the heck do I have at this table? TIA for any advice!

Spider is my favorite, I actually have it up now! Do you play 2 suits or 4?

I usually play 2 suits, I win 40% of the time. I've never won a 4 suit game.

Maybe have a poster-board FAQ?

Also might want to consider asthma action plans, anaphylaxis plans, and the dreaded sports physical forms. I had them all set up in my office but instead of solitaire I play candy crush.

Our open house is more of the traditional "show off all the cool stuff I've done so far this year" type. I was shocked how many kids came in saying "this is my nurse's office", never the nurse's office, always MY nurse's office. I had the vaccination schedule, medication forms, physical forms, ect. at the ready, but mostly I just hung out in my inner office and tried to organize my closet!

I always get asked - "What are you doing here?"
