<div>Schools are almost certainly going to generate under 50 lbs./month (the exception might be medical or veterinary schools, I suppose), and there is an exemption in Chapter 900 that simplifies things for smaller generators. If you generate under 50 lbs./month
you do NOT need to have a written biomedical waste management plan as described in 09-096 C.M.R. ch. 900, § 11.B.</div>

be managed in accordance with Chapter 900. Obviously it makes sense to still handle these with some care, but they are different from a regulatory perspective. For purposes of what a saturated dressing is, think of a first-change surgical dressing where
the wound-contact layers will likely be completely saturated. A 4-inch square of gauze that was on a skinned knee may have a pretty good bloody spot on it but will not likely be saturated. To put it another way: if you can pick it up reasonably easily without
getting your fingers bloody and it’s not likely to drip, it’s not saturated.</div>

<b>Call for School Nurse Mentors for a Pilot Program 2025-2026</b><br>
Are you looking to enhance your professional journey and to share your invaluable expertise? We are excited to announce the launch of a new School Nurse Mentorship Pilot Program designed to foster professional growth, collaboration, and support within our school
nursing community. This initiative offers a unique opportunity to build meaningful relationships and strengthen our collective impact on student health. </div>

Almost half of the workforce of school nurses in Maine have less than 5 years of experience (48.5%) and to further highlight the uncertainty of the school nursing workforce, 28% of school nurses reported not knowing how long they would remain in their role
and 30% of nurses reported that they plan to leave in the next five years (CSHIQ, 2023). This high potential for turnover highlights an urgent need to support new school nurses and reduce departures within their first five years. Our mentorship program is
designed to address this challenge directly. To provide mentorship across the state, we will strive to recruit up to 16 mentors, two in each of the eight geographic public health districts. </div>

y, safe care and to evaluate competent nursing practice. Maine DOE cannot dictate who supervises school nurses in the field, but it can provide an opportunity to be mentored by another nurse, which will lead to increased confidence in their clinical competencies
and safer practices of care. One of the goals of this program is to equip new school nurses with a supportive network of clinical peers which may lead to lower turnover rates for those entering school nursing. When there is a high turnover rate of staff in
a school, there is an increased potential that the needs of students will go unrecognized and unmet. Supporting new school nurses will increase their capacity to recognize problems and meet the needs of students. </div>
