Hopefully Helpful School Nurse Tip: Sooner or later you will be called to a health emergency somewhere within the school. Are you ready?  What will you grab and take with you?

School Nurse Emergency Grab N Go Bags are a Hot Topic!

I know, because this topic is one of the most popular read posts for this blog!

School Nurse Emergency Bags

This topic is searched and read about a lot; I can only it means other school nurses want to be as prepared as possible for a health emergency in the school setting.

Since many times school nurse are the only medical professional within the school (and they work alone), they are curious what other school nurses carry in their emergency grab-n-go bags!  

For years I used a medical bag (similar picture below) but I'm not in love with it. I always feel like my items are unorganized and I spend valuable time searching for what I needed. So, as we finish off the second semester of this school year, I am looking for ideas and suggestions for a new emergency bag.

What type of school emergency bag do you use?

Comment what you like and what items you carry in your bag!

I have a few ideas/suggestions already but haven't purchased anything yet.

I'll let you know what I decide!

Thanks for any input...

Hopefully Helpful School Nurse Tip: Most school nurses have a limited budget and must decided what office supplies they can splurge on and what items they need to save money on. There are many "outside of the box" options available to help you get the most for your money. Read on to learn about one of the ways I save money on medical office supplies.

Splinter Outs - Are they worth the cost?

Yes and No...  If you've used them before then you know they are worth all the pennies. However, if you have a limited budget (and what school nurse doesn't have a limited budget) then you might be looking for a splinter out alternative.

Either way, this is new item to add to your school nurse office this year!

Splinter Outs are perfect for removing those tiny splinters that are impossible to remove with tweezers!  However, when my budget is running low then I use a simple blood lancet & you can too :)  You can literally get hundreds of blood lancets for a fraction of the cost.
