Hello All,
I have been working at a privately funded faith-based accredited 2-year institution in New York for this past school year working 1:1 directly with the on campus physician. The Doctor is about to leave and will not be replaced with another physician. Thus, I am left trying to see how I can keep functioning in the Health Office in the Registered Nurse capacity.
We have no written policies or procedures. Everything was done with direct collaboration with the physician and verbal orders.
Any advice about the process for finding a Medical Director to cover me and given me standing orders for first aid, basic care and OTC meds?
We have several AEDs on campus. Any advice or legal issues associated with this program that I should be aware of?
Any resources for criteria for referral or triage?
Any examples of paper documentation used for Nurse-Directed health center (they may get rid of the EMR when the physician leaves)
I really would appreciate any and all advice regarding this matter. I have the summer to try to pull something together before next school year starts.
Thank you,
Nicole Weathers, BSN, RN
