As a nursing instructor at our local technical college, my students and I are constantly exposed to all kinds of things...the H1N1 virus included. Handwashing certainly is the best thing you can do, and do it frequently! We also use the hand gels for times inbetween patients and other tasks. The hand gels are anti-bacterial, so they won't help with the viruses. Staying home when you are sick, staying away from those who are sick, and WASHING your hands are the best things to do. Also, get the vaccine if/when it is available!

At our school we have special hand washing procedures. When students was their hands they have been taught to sing "Happy Birthday" twice before rinsing. We also use alcohol based sanitizer throughout the day. It is supposedly effective against H1N1. Signs have been posted that we are a GERM FREE area and administration is making sure parents understand that no child who is sick can come to school until their fever has been gone for 24 hours without medication. We encourage and teach our kids to eat healthy, get good sleep, and stay away from sick friends or siblings!

We get more sleep, take echinacea, encourage vitamins, liquids, and a good diet. My students who take vitamins seem to stay above the water in catching colds.

Great suggestions. I agree having students wipe down their desks, even with soap and water from the restroom keeps the germs at bay. It also gives students a chance to "take charge" of their area and have some responsibility in taking good care of each other and themselves. As for yourself, remember to not touch your face with your hands and drink plenty of water.

That's why I don't let anyone borrow my pens or pencils.

Hand sanitizer is the best. I used it today when someone coughed all over a pen that was borrowed from me.
