Q1 What are the most challenging things that you face with students? #UTedchat
suzan_tibbitts Aug 10 @ 11:27 PM EDT

A: keeping students with health concerns, such as diabetes, asthma and anaphylaxis safe at school. #UTedChat
suzan_tibbitts Aug 10 @ 11:28 PM EDT

Q: Have you had students in your classroom with any of these health concerns? #UTedChat
karenlouise49 Aug 10 @ 11:29 PM EDT

A1: There are years when some of my biggest concerns are the students health concerns, so I am right there with ya. #UTedchat
karenlouise49 Aug 10 @ 11:31 PM EDT

A2: Yes, I have. Asthma, anaphylaxis, diabetes. Nut allergies have been the hardest to handle to keep my classroom 'nut free'. #UTedchat

Q3: What is your suggestion when you have students that have tree and peanut allergies in a classroom? #UTedchat
suzan_tibbitts Aug 10 @ 11:36 PM EDT

A3 meet with the parents and school nurse before school starts to go over health care plan and allergens to avoid in classroom. #UTedChat
suzan_tibbitts Aug 10 @ 11:37 PM EDT

A3 also make sure all student's parents are aware of allergies so they do not bring treats or food items to the classroom. #UTedChat
karenlouise49 Aug 10 @ 11:40 PM EDT

A3 Yep, but often parents still bring in food with traces of nuts. Halloween day is the worst with all the candy in the room. #UTedchat

Q4: With your experience as a teacher, what is the best way your school nurse can notify you of student's health care needs #UTedChat
karenlouise49 Aug 10 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A4: My nurse taught me about diabetes. She set up a mtg. with me and the mom her son. We went over a plan we stayed in contact. #utedchat
suzan_tibbitts Aug 10 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A3: if a parent of the student with the allergy is available to be a helper on those party days, that can be very helpful. #UTedChat
karenlouise49 Aug 10 @ 11:47 PM EDT

A3: That is a great idea to have the parent of the student with the allergy come help at parties. She could even bring the treat. #utedchat
suzan_tibbitts Aug 10 @ 11:48 PM EDT

A4: good to know those meetings are helpful! #UTedChat
karenlouise49 Aug 10 @ 11:49 PM EDT

A4: We are not really taught what exactly these health issues are and what to look for. We need more education abt them #utedchat
karenlouise49 Aug 10 @ 11:50 PM EDT

A4: If I would have known a little more what to look for and how to deal with the nut allergy episodes, it would have helped. #utedchat

Hope you have a great 2016-2017 school year! #UTedChat
karenlouise49 Aug 10 @ 11:52 PM EDT

Best of luck to you as well! Thanks for the tips. Great chat. #utedchat
suzan_tibbitts Aug 10 @ 11:53 PM EDT

A4: all staff should be trained every year on diabetes, asthma, anaphylaxis, and seizures. Like CPR, you need a refresher #UTedChat
