Your Clinic

MrNurse(x2), ADN · Dec 18, 2015

I will set the bar low.

I have 112 kids.

I give 2 daily meds, one of which to my own kid.

I see around 10 kids a day, some days none.

I have a chair in a shared office, no bed. (New facility coming soon, my own suite)

I also function as the receptionist, my office is at the front of the school. Thankfully we only get 4 or 5 calls per day.

I love the "curious" games!

Just wondering how many in your student population?

I have about 300 - 9th to 12th

Also, how big is your clinic, where is it located?

Pretty small and cramped. I'm in an older building, so at least I have a bathroom! But, I'm on the 2nd floor which is a little frustrating.

How many meds to you give each day?

Scheduled - about 7ish.

On average, how many kids do you see each day?

Depends (of course!), but I can see anywhere from 15 to 40 not including my scheduled meds. I'm the "mean" nurse compared to last year since I actually expect kids to stay in class!

How many beds?

I inherited 4. And since this is my first year I didn't know any better. I think I'm going to try and get rid of one next year. I do not have a lot of space in here and rarely have I needed all four. In fact, one is really my work space more than anything.

I am also in a pretty old building, my office is in the basement, with no-matter-how-hard-you-try-they-are-never-clean cement floors. I do have my own attached bathroom though - a luxury!

Scheduled ~6. How some more PRN prescriptions (non inhaler/epi). Work with 4 diabetics.

On average, how many kids do you see each day?

Can depend, but with scheduled meds and blood glucose checks, 25-45.

How many beds?

One cot. And you have to earn time on it; I'm mean... :devil:

I work in a high school grades 9-12. My student population is about 650. Add another 250 to that on the days I cover the junior high too.

I give 6 daily medications, plus 1 diabetic student's lunch insulin. I oversee 11 other diabetic students. I average between 30 and 40 students a day, not counting the multiple requests for feminine hygiene products I get daily, which I do not document.

My office is about 15x15' with a short hallway leading to the main room. I have a bathroom with a shower in it in my office.

I am located a good 4 classrooms away from the main office. My office is located where it is because it used to be the only nurse office for the high school and junior high school (they are attached to each other). I'm kind of close to the middle of the 2 buildings. The junior high has it's own nurse now, but I am responsible for junior high students too when she leaves a couple of days a week to cover another school in the district.

I have 1 cot, an apartment-sized fridge/freezer, a tall locking filing cabinet and one of those tall metal cabinets. I just got a counter-top ice maker this year and I love it. I have a small wooden table with a fax machine on it and a big desk. I also have a locking wall-mounted med cabinet.

~400 students- K thru 5h

Clinic is HUGE. My office, main clinic with 3 bed, lots of cabinets and counter space, plus a desk and chairs. Bathroom, one smaller room with table and chairs-used by outside counselors and sometimes students with special needs eat lunch there, and a large room for screenings, dental hygiene uses it as well, also has a changing table for the para's to use if it's needed.

Located right off of the main lobby.

I have 11 scheduled meds and blood sugar checks. Plus inhalers which are usually 2 to 4 a day depending on who has PE.

I see 30 kids on a slow day. Bad days, like yesterday, 60+. Mostly from one particular class. :banghead: Favorite pt. this week; the elf on the shelf from my daughter's kinder class. He broke his leg and needed a cast, no moving for 3 days-Santa's orders!
