School Nurses
Here to help!
Students come to school with many different healthcare needs ranging from minor to severe, temporary (such as a concussion), to chronic (such as asthma). The school nurse partners with parents, teachers and other school staff to meet all students' medical needs.
On an average day, a school nurse:
- sees 25 sick and 10 injured students
- screens 20 students for health problems
- administers 10-15 medications
- takes 18 temperatures
- examines 10-12 throats or pairs of ears
- provides case management to 10 students with chronic illnesses
- sends 3 students home
- contacts 40 parents/caregivers

Please never hesitate to call me about your child!
