Hopefully Helpful School Nurse Tip:  After you've been a school nurse for a while you will come up with your go to supplies for your office. Be basic, Be consistent. Get what works for you and forget about the rest.

IS YOUR NURSE'S OFFICE PREPARED 

A well stocked school nurse's office is essential and necessary  for any school nurse. Since there are a variety of health scenarios that a school nurse might need to deal with on any given day, we need to be prepared for anything. Most school districts allow a certain amount of money each school year to purchase required items for your office (use it or lose it). 

ORDER WITH EASE

Most school nurse's offices are very busy. So busy in fact, that you might not realize you are running low on an item until you are almost out. Sound familiar? Two day shipping in these times can be a life saver! Check with your school district; they might have a business Amazon account which usually offers no state sales tax and free shipping. If so, you can easily request your supplies from whomever is in charge of ordering, they can order your supplies and the items will magically arrive at your school within a couple of days. If not, you can put in a request to purchase the items on your own and ask for reimbursement when the items are received; however, you might not get reimbursed for sales tax. 

SUPPLIES AVAILABLE ON AMAZON
