Nurses Personal Preferences

This screen displays a list of configuration options that apply to the user who is currently logged in and visiting this screen. The options control several personalized preferences across the Nurses module.

The Nurses>Setup>User Preferences screen gives each nurse direct control over how certain things work when they are logged in as the nurse.

The first item on the list "Default Nurse for the Visits Screen" each nurse must set, all of the other parameters are not required to be updated.

Parameter	Options	Notes
Default Nurse for the Visits Screen	All nurses in the system	Defines who *you* are to the system. Will insert the selected nurse when creating new nurse visits.
Default value for "Include as Needed Meds" on the Medications screen	No, Yes, Only As Needed	Controls whether the standard search on the Nurse Visits screen excludes As Needed Medications ("No"), includes As Needed Medications ("Yes") or only shows the As Needed Medications.
Default screen when you click on the Nurses module	Visits, Search Students, Medications	When you click on the "Nurses" top tab, which screen automatically comes up? The Nurse Visits>Search Visits screen, the Nurse>Medications>Daily Medications screen, or the Nurses>Student List>Search Students screen. Your choice.
Allow Time Released to be automatically filled in with current time if a Visit is given a Disposition For students with medical alerts	Yes/No	When you are on the Visits Details screen, and you select a "Disposition", if this parameter is set to Yes the current time is inserted into the Time Released field as the time the student left the nurses office. If No is selected, no time is filled in - the Time Released field is left blank and you must fill in it manually. If you fill in Disposition when the student leaves, set this to Yes. If you come back later and set the disposition, set this to No. It is designed to match how you generally operate.
For students with medical alerts	Show popup on Visit Details screen Do Not show popup on Visit Details screen.	This parameter controls the popup that appears when you enter the Visit Details screen. If it set to "Show", the popup appears. If it is set to "Do Not Show", the popup does not appear. Some nurses want the popup every time they enter that screen and some nurses find it annoying: you can control the behavior of the system.
On Visits search screen, default the "Visit Status' field to	Open/Closed/All Visits	This controls the automatic search that is done on the Nurses->Visit->Search Visits screen. The usual behavior - and how the system is initially configured - with with this parameter set to "Open". The Visit Search screen can show only Open visits (visits that do not have a Disposition set), only Closed visits (visits that do have a Disposition set), or All Visits (all visits for the selected date). You can always change the "Visit Status" when you are on the Search Visits screen - this only controls the initial behavior of that screen when you first bring it up during a session.
