Me:I have a little scratch with blood
School nurse:Put some ice on it
Doctors:Get some more sleep
Google:You have cancer
Mom and Dad:It’s that Phone

I love that you teach the children how to take care of their abrasions, etc. My only issue is the clean 4x4's next to an uncovered toilet. Every time the toilet is flushed whatever is in there becomes airborne and contaminates all nearby objects. You might want to re-think that setup.

This was so nice to watch! I just got into nursing school, and about to start my core in a month. I dream to be a school nurse one day!! 😊

I am starting as a new graduate RN school Nurse! I was a support staff before working as a instructional assistant, PE assistant, Library Aid, office helper, and I quit to finish school in nursing. The reason I got hired as a new graduate it was because I had an good experience working in school with kids with special needs. Usually in my state they required 6 month of acute care. They realized that even with experience in hospital school nursing is a completely different gig. So the training is the same time as far as new grads or nurses with acute care experience. Your video is going to help me a lot on how to set up my office!❤️🥰

Thank you so much for this video!! Please make more school nursing - need to know videos (diastat info, carb count and insulin, tips on getting out a splinter etc etc ) 👍🏽. I have a text book on school nursing but would be great to see from experienced nurse ☺️

Having grown up with type 1 diabetes since I was 9 and fascination with technology was part of why I went into nursing. Although my background is as a RN // EMT-B is in emergency medicine, I realize diabetes is a public health issue at all ages. One important thing to know is that if a diabetic person is hypoglycemic, they may be totally unaware of it, and only have odd or violent behavior & confusion as their only sign prior to having a hypoglycemic grand mal seizure. This needs to be taught to people, including the student, as a means of early detection so they can get quick acting glucose. Additionally, Glucagon often can make people vomit and turkey basters work well for sucking up secretions. Last, but not least, protect the person's dignity when they get sick from hypoglycemia. I have had multiple hypoglycemic seizures over the past 3 years and know this can save lives.

I love this! I am not a School Nurse, but I am the Registered Medical Assistant for my Elementary School, I am the Health onsite, going on my 2nd year and I love it! I see about 40 kids a day :)

This has been incredibly helpful! I have been away from nursing for 17 years and looking to head back as a school nurse. I’m nervous and this helped me a ton!

I admire you being organize and i think that will be the biggest challenge for me.

This is amazing! I’m thinking about making the switch from bedside to school nursing. Thank you for this overview!

[carmelahubler]

Great video! I loved seeing your supplies and how you organized things.

[perezfamily]

You are amazing! I’m a School Bus Driver for my District and I am starting off as a Sub Health assistant during my breaks. However I didn’t know what to expect and your video helped some. Can you please do one with your Health Assistant ? What you Nurses expect from your Health Assistant on a daily basis. Please and Thank you :)
