These thermometers are HOT HOT HOT! 

The School Nurse is highlighting a few no contact thermometers that (as of this posting) are on MAJOR sale with Amazon! Although the thermometers will be available for longer, the sale prices are only available for a short time.  I absolutely love my Welch Allyn suretemp, but it is not no-contact and we know no-contact is the way this fall.


Take a look at the current no-contact thermometer sales Amazon is offering now...





Four star rating & 50% off for a limited time with free shipping.





Lastly, this one is 40% off, but no ratings as of yet...

SCHOOL NURSE SHIRTS


*this post contains affiliate links*


Finding a school nurse specific t-shirt is so exciting!

It's like finding a personalized bicycle plate when you're a child who has a uniquely spelled name (that would be me & I still haven't found one, but my mom did order me a personalized place mat once!) Anyway, I'm getting side tracked. 


A school nurse t-shirt with a paired with scrub pants will make picking out your work outfit so much easier. Also, with so many current COVID concerns, it seems many school nurses are considering wearing scrubs next school year. If that sounds like you, then one of these t-shirts might be perfect; Amazon has some amazing options - let's take a look at a few...

ATHLETE MONITORING FORM FOR COACHES



*affiliate links are used in the post*

GUIDELINES

Currently, many schools are allowing some sort of "Return to Play" for athletes.  Schools are being encouraged to work with their local health departments in order to have appropriate guidelines in place.  Since the health and safety of students remains the top priority; the guidelines seem to stress that athlete training sessions at this time are completely voluntary and those who opt to participate are only allowed to complete strength, conditioning and cardio type workouts.  

In addition, outdoor workouts are highly encouraged and only after students have met the health screening criteria.  In Illinois the guidelines are as follows:
