School Nurses can take care of most health issues in a school. Save the rescue squad for 911 calls. I heard that the only schools that need School Nurses the ones with special education students. All schools need School Nurses. All schools have children with special health problems such as asthma, diabetes, seizures, or serious allergies.
All schools have teachers who can use help with certain health education topics.
All schools could use assistance with access to health vare and health resources for their students, families, and staff. All the attention goes to the kids. School Nurses are as concerned about you as they are about the children. Whether it is checking blood pressure regularly, running stress management courses, weight loss, or smoking cessation groups, or educating teachers how to protect themselves with correct lifting techniques or Universal Precautions, School Nurses have a stake in protecting the health of school staff. After all, if you aren't healthy, you aren't able to teach as well or be a good role model for your students.
