What Nurse's Aide users have to say:

Julia Soper, Director of Health Services Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD	ODE TO NURSE'S AIDE Refrain: Oh, Nurse’s Aide, Oh, Nurse’s Aide, you have been our salvation! We’re trashing all our paper forms. You’re our “Next Generation.” (repeat refrain after each verse and whenever you feel like it!) 1. It took so long to make the switch— Can we give up our paper cards? Computers, printers—we’re not rich! The move to electronics sure is hard. 2. Now to decide: which do we choose? Software options everywhere! The big one? Small one? Established? New? Nifty tabs or pictures fair? 3. Next comes the bidding process—oh! This is so strange; what do we do? What if the one that comes out low is not the one we thought we knew? 4. It’s done at last—proposal’s passed! The little green guy is the one! Our work is vast, install it fast! It’s time for us to have some fun. 5. The nurses thought ‘twould make them queasy— clicking, tabbing, typing in. Turns out that it’s really easy: the hardest part is signing in. 6. Clinic Visits: ins and outs— this is your daily traffic route. A stomach virus? That I doubt, let me check you in and I’ll check you out. 7. The Day’s Meds list is such a breeze; You type the time or click on “now.” The info transfers with great ease to students’ records, but don’t ask how! 8. Student Info has it all: Alerts, Health History, Screenings, Meds, Imm’s and Visits at your call— A consolidated fountainhead! 9. Reports, reports, a very hard sell; we used to do them all by hand. Annual, monthly, daily as well, a couple of clicks and it’s in your hand. 10. So are we happy? Yes, we say, we love our little crying dude! We bless the day he came our way— our nursing care is much improved! You know, I probably don’t tell you all this often enough, but I’m really glad we picked you for our software, as you are really great about responding to issues and being there when we need you.
Sharon Earles, Stinnett ISD	I just returned from Spring Break and installed the update and tried it. Thanks! I am so impressed!!! Great job! I can't believe the great service I receive. My technology support staff has appreciated working with you and Gregg far above and beyond their experiences with all my former programs. I just entered my 8th graders spinal screening results and really like the updates on this page. It looks great and covers everything. Thanks for a great product!
Carol Bjorkman, RN, BSN, FNP-S Trinity Christian Academy	I am a school nurse at a private school in the Dallas area with about 1500 students. We are using Nurse's Aide software. ... We (there are three school nurses) have been very happy with the way Nurse's Aide is set up ... With Nurse's Aide we now have all student information including health information, medications, contact information, absences, immunizations, etc. all in one wonderful location "student information" within the software. We have become virtually paperless in our clinic, thanks to Nurse's Aide. If you ever make any more software changes, I'd sure recommend Nurse's Aide.
Linda Winegarner, Spearman ISD	This school year, I have started using the clinic visits and daily medications visits. In the past, I felt like I did not have the time to sit at my computer and enter all the information as well as complete the paper documentation, too. However, after becoming familiar with the program, I find it takes very little time to complete and can print the visits to show the teacher or parent if needed.
Wanda Voelcker, Mineral Wells ISD	Gregg has been extremely patient and helpful. I think he deserves a raise! I am updating as we speak. We are very pleased with NA so far. Immunizations and screenings are so easy and moving from item to item within the students file makes our lives so much easier. My nurses and I thank you and Gregg, for everything.
Jay Patrick, Network Administrator Jefferson County School District	Nurse's Aide has been a great find according to our staff who sort through the mountains of shot/allergy and basic medical needs of our 3000+ student population. From a Network Administrator position Gregg has been fantastic to work with. He is always willing to try to figure out a better way for the program to operate and for the program to fit our district's desires. I would recommend this software bundled with the people in the office (Gregg and Barbara) who support the software and the end user.
Cathy Magness, RN San Juan Middle School	Ours is a large district with 40 schools networked into one another, and Nurse's Aide is our exclusive means for documentation for all 28,000+ of the district's students. We have been successfully using Nurse’s Aide for the past three years and are very happy with the software and especially with the company's great support of their product. The program itself is easy to use--I like to use the word 'elegant', because if you have ever used Microsoft Word or Windows, the software is similar in that it is mostly drop-down menus and logical choices. Everything is HIPAA/FERPA compliant, confidentiality is assured through the software's password protection, and the training and follow-up support by the company is fantastic. One of my favorite aspects with Nurse's Aide is the reporting feature. If I want to see how many students are outstanding on their Td booster or Hepatitis B vaccines, for example, I simply run a report. You can see which teachers are sending you the most students and for what reasons. It's fast and easy to document visits to your clinic, screenings for individual students or whole classes (amazing time saver over our old paper records), medication administration, incident reports, allergy and other health alerts for individual students, and much more. ... The reports you obtain with this software are complete, easy to read, and include your name, address, and phone number as a contact. The company has given us excellent support since the beginning and continues to update and improve the program. Our district took many months to “shop” and test all the national software available for school nurses, and unanimously chose Nurse's Aide over all the others. Whether your district is 80 schools or 3 schools, I think you will find that the Nurse's Aide software is the best choice of the leading products. I highly recommend it.
Sherry Pouncey, School Nurse Chelsea Intermediate School	After a few short months of school nursing, I was determined to come up with a way to get rid of all that paper and still be compliant with state standards of practice. After attending the 2005 National School Nurse’s Association Convention, I started looking at all the software programs I had seen at the trade show. I didn’t look at the cost, I simply looked for functionality. When all was said and done, I chose Nurse’s Aide. I was pleased to discover its cost was quite reasonable. I have found Nurse's Aide to be a very effective tool in managing my health room from many different perspectives. It allows me to easily communicate information with teachers and administration, as well as maintain daily records of visits, screenings and medication schedules. I have been very impressed with the support I have received…always very helpful and, more importantly, very reachable. I have had a few requests for changes or modifications to a few report fields and they have always done their best to accommodate my needs. I received a grant to purchase my software and I have been so impressed with this program that I have helped other nurses in my area find funding as well! I recommend Nurse's Aide to ANY school nurse! I couldn't live without it!
Jamie Smith, RN, BSN District Nurse Madras, Oregon	I am new to School Nursing so I have not experienced this position without an electronic management system. I can’t imagine doing this job without Nurse’s Aide. Even if it only managed our immunizations, it would be worth it. Of course, it does much more than that. I am able to use this program for medication management, screening documentation, and report generation. I am able to access any student’s information from any of my 7 schools. I enjoy the ease of use and security of the program. Everything is HIPAA compliant and password protected. I am able to restrict certain aspects of the program depending on the user. I continually recommend Nurse’s Aide to other School Nurses that I encounter. The support staff is great to work with and are willing to listen to ideas that I may have to improve the program. Order a copy of the Demo and see for yourself how Nurse’s Aide can improve the Health Services of your district.
Lu Ann Fillpot, R.N. Farwell ISD	Just wanted to let you know how much I have truly enjoyed using Nurse’s Aide! I have already finished my compliance report, whereas normally it took me several weeks, usually right up to the date it was due. It was just toooo darn easy this year!! Your program has made my life as a school nurse too easy! Really, what did I ever do without it? OH MY GOSH!!!! YIPPPPPEEEEE!!!! WAY TOOO COOL, JUST KEEP ALL THIS GREAT STUFF COMING! I love these graphs. You just continue to make my life easier and easier and easier. Really, what’s not to like here?
Lucille Horst, RN, BSN School Nurse Borger Middle School	Our school district purchased new software this school year and we love it more EVERY day! We are using Nurse’s Aide. ... We are finding Nurse’s Aide very user compatible and so much easier to use than our previous program. We no longer spend hours going thru records for state reports as the report format is programmed into the software. We do not have to wait until "next year" for updates....we get these from Nurse’s Aide over the Internet every few weeks if not more often as they add-to or improve aspects of the program. We could not be happier with our purchase. Another added advantage is that we can pick up the phone at any time during our work day, dial a toll free number and almost without exception talk to a "real" person immediately (and most always the SAME person, not a new one each time) !!! It is like having your own expert at your fingertips.....The daily visit log allows me to pull up any student's visit for any date or dates.....this has proven very beneficial to me when there are questions regarding the student's visits......NO WAY would I change to anything else.....I LOVE it !!!!!! I highly recommend this program to anyone!!!! (Oh, and did I mention that it is "customized" for your particular needs....it is not a "one-size-fits-all"...we had input into what we wanted it to include when we purchased it and have options to change some things as we work with it!!!)
Janet Ludgar, Prestonwood Christian Academy	The developers of NurseAide software worked directly with us so that their software would communicate with our admissions software. This particular software also has a NIC-NOC portion. I believe school nurses were consulted during the development of the NurseAide computer program. It is very user friendly. It has been a time saver with my tracking of immunizations. It is a full service program that I would highly recommend. Everything that I do in the clinic from immunization tracking, daily visits, medication logs, parent letters, etc are managed using my NurseAide program.
Liz Childers, School Nurse, Itasca ISD	Nurse’s Aide is very school nurse user friendly. Input of Immunizations is very simple and needed immunizations are highlighted right on your screen; the daily log is just a few clicks and you are done; the medication log is one simple click and keeps a running tally of meds left; reports are geared for your needs.
Sue Morgan District Nurse, Jefferson Co., Oregon	I am very happy with Nurse’s Aide and also their service (they have implemented many suggestions that I have given them and are appreciative of any input for improvement). They are very prompt and responsive. Entry is simple and reports are great. You can track those that are out of compliance easily and send letters home reminding people that immunizations are due. The medication feature is great; there is a screen that shows everything that is due that day and recording is as simple as a click. I like the fact that I can run a report that summarizes the screenings (how many were screened, how many were normal, referable, etc.) Also I can run a "missed screening" report and it will show me who has not had a screening entered this year. You can also run a report to see who had a vision screen but has not yet seen an eye Dr. or optometrist. And you can do group (class or teacher) entries to make screening entries quicker. The program has been a great time saver for immunizations, screenings and medications, and I really like being able to have things done at the building level, yet I can access the information in my office on NA. I have much more information available at my fingertips than before.
Janis Kardash R.N., Sanford School, Hockessin, Delaware	I am currently adding new students to my school year 2007 student database, and I remain so pleased with the ease with which this system operates. I never have any problems. Thanks for keeping the program so current and constantly improving. I recommend it to anyone.
