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.

Do you have any other videos? I found this to be so beneficial! I am looking to try sub nursing but I am terrified of Diabetic children as I have not worked with any before. Any training modules you suggest as I am always wanting to learn and relearn!

[@christinemcfall6115]

It's my only video, I'll try to make another one in a month or so. Don't be afraid of the students with diabetes. Don't worry too much about the hyperglycemia, only the hypoglycemia. By teaching the students and teachers to recognize the signs of the student going low and having some orange juice handy, you'll do fine. I've had several students with diabetes, you'll be an expert before you know it.

[@candicee092]

This is my concern too. I am about to start sub nursing, and am really nervous about diabetic children as well. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@johnhaas1927]

For your training was wondering if you keep old training from year to year for any reason that you have done with teachers. Also do you have any good resources of how to train teachers? Trying to get organized in my first year of school nursing.

[@christinemcfall6115]

Hi John, Our teachers get basic training on seizures, diabetes, asthma, food allergies... etc. APS (Albuquerque Public Schools) uses a program called Safe Schools." They also demonstrate they know how to use an epi-pen, and inhaler etc. prior to going on a field trip. Teachers are told all students need to have a pass to go to the health room, unless its an emergency (throwing up). We also let teachers know how best to communicate with me ( emails, passes).

[@christinemcfall6115]

HI John, Sorry it took me so long to get back with you. We use a Safe Schools online training program for most training. We give print outs and orient staff on basics like sending students with a pass

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!❤️🥰

Hi Christine, I appreciate your video. I am opening a new school health room this year. I like all your tips and tricks. What are the supplies you keep in the bathroom caddy?

[@1armedgal]

Excellent info! You mentioned honey for cough- what type of packaging and/or how do you dispense it?

[@christinemcfall6115]

Honey sticks are the easiest and most convenient, kids love them too. Unfortunately, they also cost the most. So, I usually just squirt honey on a plastic spoon. Once they lick the spoon clean, they throw it away. Honey packs (like from the restaurants) work too, but a little bit messy for kids.

[@christinemcfall6897]

squirt it on a spoon, those packets are messy. Wellness Momma is a good website, my favorite pediatrician recommended it. I have forwarded the information to parents. There are tons of practical suggestions and home remedies on the easy to read website.... including cough syrup with onions, sounds yucky, but, it's effective.

Did you have to purchase all of the equipment yourself or did the school provide a stipend? The health care plan book alone is hundreds of dollars.

[@patrice942]

I am interested in being a school nurse. This video is very interesting. Are there only one nurse and a health assistant in your office? What if you are sick or have an appointment? That T-shirt trick is ingenious also.

[@christinemcfall6897]

Our school district does not have nurse substitutes, a buddy nurse from the school nearby covers essential medications and procedures (ie. insulin) It's a budget concern in many schools

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.

Does a school nurse have a similar pay schedule as a teacher with having summers off or is summer pay not worked into your salary? Thanks!
