What now!

I feel like I'm missing something.

I just finished all my hearing and vision screens for my preschoolers. I have 224 kiddos to care for.

I see 1 tube feeder, and I see one kiddo for daily med. Everyone else is just seen as needed.

I was thrown into this job with minimal training. I didn't know what else to do my first week before kiddos started, so I just made all my files. Inputted all my immunizations.

Files are done. Immunizations are done. Meds are sorted. Screens are done.

What do I do now?! just relax!?

    Do you have a bulletin board? Can you make a newsletter? Do you need CE hours? Can you do classroom lessons (I do handwashing with Kinders)?

    Relax, call it a payback for all the missed lunch breaks.

    I don't think Missouri requires CE hours? But I also don't know much about that.

    No bulletin board, I just decorated my door as a mummy for halloween last Friday ( we only have 2 classes on Fridays so didn't have much to do )

    I'm going to check about a newsletter! that's a good idea. Any good or fun ideas to add into it!?

    Do you have mandatory screenings in your state for the other students that are not pre-schoolers?

    Do you have a health teacher in the school?

    Clean out your office! When I took over 3 years ago at my school, there was stuff from the 70's and 80's that I found! Seriously: cassette tapes, old medical books, old hand written medical files, expired meds, broken equipment....I filled a dumpster with crap! I cleaned out all my cabinets and got rid of anything I didn't want or need.

    For your newsletter, you could highlight an issue or two every month (or weekly, however you are doing it). Here are the health observances: (some are not relevant, but you could highlight adult and kid ones!).

    Missouri statutes do not require continuing education as a condition of either original or renewal licensure.
