Top School Nurse Products and Purchases for 2021


What health related products are school nurses purchasing?

+ this post contains affiliate links +


Helpful School Nurse Tip: I'm not a pro at creating products, affiliate marketing, or promoting products, but I enjoy sharing what I use (or wish I could use) with other school nurses as a way to make their days a little bit easier. I've learned through many, many years of trial and error with both school nursing and affiliate marketing :) With either, I know you can do it too! All of the affiliate platforms I use are available to other school nurses too. Best of luck! 

Amazon

The School Nurse participates in both the Amazon Influencer Program and the Amazon Associates (affiliate) program. What does this mean? This means The School Nurse, LLC. receives a % of money based on sales made through shared links. Money is not made on clicks or viewing items- only on purchased items. I love both of these programs because it allows me to share items I actual use with other school nurses. These items should make the daily routine in your school nurse office easier and maybe even more fun!

Check out the top 5 items sold during 2021 via The School Nurse Amazon affiliate links
  1. How School Nurses Swear Coloring Book!  Full of cuss words and fanciful designs:)
  2. C-Line document sorter. One of my absolute favorite office items. I purchased this with my own money years ago and don't regard a penny spent. I use it daily and so will you!
  3. The School Nurse Notebook- the very first school nurse calendar I published via Kindle Direct Publishing.  Plenty of space to keep great notes for your monthly school nurse duties and much more.
  4. Fast Facts for the School Nurse. A favorite school nurse reference book. Easy to read, practical advise and common school nurse scenarios included.
  5. Special Education and School Nurses. Another favorite school nurse reference book; especially for those new to special education setting. This book gives a great overview of all things related to the special education process and how the school nurse should be involved and what the school nurse's role is in the special education setting.

Monthly health topic ideas only are included with a layout and picture, but NO ACTUAL CONTENT. This product is 100% editable and you can change the layout, update the picture, and add your own information.

This $2 product has a 4.7 star rating and is an original 2017 PDF product!  

This school nurse related product is a PDF Individualized Healthcare Plan TEMPLATE. This very basic IHP template form is a tool for the school nurse to use within her office. The information gathered and entered on any IHP form is mean for the school nurse and her immediate health center / nurse's office staff members only. The information on IHPs are not intended to be shared with other school personnel outside of the nursing staff.  A $4 Google version of this product is available too!

     


COVID- Google Tracking Sheet

This $4 has zero reviews so far; nonetheless, it is one of my all time favorite school nurse time saving tools! I created this tracking sheet in August of 2020 and have used it daily since. I share this product with all of the health center staff and the attendance office; all of us have the rights to edit the sheet too. Edits an be viewed live between our office which is a huge help and big time saver for all of us!

Over time I have added columns for my professional use that are relevant to what I need quick reference to such as date of positive test, notifying teachers and the special services department. Since this is a Google product any buyers can make edits and add / delete columns as they need to; they can even add additional sheets. Buyers can use this in their school, but should not share the product with other nurses in their school district. 

These COVID-19 Google tracking sheets are so important to the daily functions in my nurse's office and the school's attendance office that I devoted a blog post to them and even created an amateur YouTube video for them!





COVID - Google Tracking Sheets
Welcome to the very first COVID-19 digital product The School Nurse created back in the fall of 2020. I needed something easy and editable to use that I could track student attendance, staff attendance, create a weekly report, etc. I also wanted something that could easily be shared with the other nurse at my school and those who "needed to know" in case I wasn't able to be at work for whatever reason.  

This Teachers Pay Teachers product is what I created and continue to use this school year. hey are 100% editable, so you can customize them specific to your school/s and your needs. Currently, the top row of each sheet is "frozen", so it will be visible whether you have 10 entries or 510 entries!  These COVID Google sheets keep me organized and provide an easy way to access all the COVID information I need on a daily basis.  I think they would help you too! You can create your own, or purchase these and edit them to meet your needs.

Tabs Include:

  1. Student Attendance Sheet
  2. Staff Attendance Sheet
  3. Weekly Report
  4. No Mask / Alternative Diagnosis Sheet
  5. LHD Notification Sheet


To help you get started, I created this informational video. Keep in mind I'm not a videographer. You will hear beautiful windchimes in the background but also some hopefully, helpful information about using this product and making your school nurse days a little easier!  Also, in this video you will hear me refer to using "email notifications"!... Watch this video to learn more about email notifications and view the coordinating TpT product here.

All three of these school nurse pass are 100% editable which means you can customize them to your specific needs.

  1. Personalize the school nurse poster. This poster is perfect if your name is Mrs. Morrison! If not, don't worry- you can edit the name to whatever your students and staff call you. Use this poster to decorate your school nurse office walls, doors, or bulletin board; you can even frame it.
  2. The School Nurse self inking stamper- Many school nurses use this customizable self inking stamper as a quick way to official sign school nurse office passes. How would you use it?
  3. In a word where you can be anything, BE KIND cell phone case. This floral cell phone case with an uplifting reminder about being kind is always a top seller! Do you own it?
  4. School Nurse of TINY humans t-shirt. I'm a school nurse, but the humans I help aren't really that tiny! Also, I've ordered several t-shirts for myself from Zazzle and I'm always satisfied with the quality.
  5. Be Wise Sanitize poster. I created this poster after an in-service training I offered staff that I titled BE WISE, SANITIZE. I should really offer that as a TpT item :)
  6. Medication Forms binder. This large 3 ring binder is perfect for storing the medication forms you receive each year! Even though I electronically chart medications, I like to keep a paper copy of current orders near the medication cabinet for quick reference. I usually receive a handful of completed forms, but no meds. I keep those in the front pocket until medications are received.
