NURSE MEETINGS
UPCOMING MEETINGS/TRAINING INFORMATION
It seems as though some of our grade level nurse meetings have been bumped/canceled due to educational opportunities that have come up on Wednesday afternoons. I have received numerous proposed topics of discussion and am trying to fulfill those requests.
How does rescheduling the grade level meetings to the following dates/times work with your schedules? (These meetings will be via Webex.)
High School Nurse Meetings – 830am 2/22, 830am 4/19
Middle School Nurse Meetings – 230pm 2/15, 10am 4/11
Elementary School Nurse Meetings – 10am 2/28, 10am 4/25, 10am 5/16
Let Tami know what you think.

MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION DOSING ADJUSTMENTS
Tami spoke with the local pediatrician group. For students with medication dosing adjustments, the directions will be written on the prescription bottles. “Week 1 – Give 1 tablet every day at 12pm. Week 2. Increase to 2 tablets every day at 12pm”. It is important to ensure that staff understand the dosing changes. Option – put medication bottle in a Ziploc bag with a colorful highlighted note about the dosing change/dates. Highlight and verbally discuss with staff who are administering medication. Follow up and ensure correct dose was given when a new week starts.
Call Tami if you have any questions.
