Remember these magic words: lost instruction time. You will use them many times to prove a point with a teacher and/or admin. And they will help you every single time.
After you have used an Epi-pen on a student in front of a teacher and/or admin, you become a god. For at least a day. Maybe 2 days. Then they can forget.
Cough drops are both a savior and the devil. If you can have them at your school, buy the gross menthol ones.
Be prepared to recite lice facts and back them up with a link to the NASN guidelines.
And fake it till you make it. Confidence is key in this job. If you say everything with a confident tone, you can build trust. And trust is helpful to get that frequent flyer back to class or an admin to see your point .
