Keine Minute zu früh. Aber wenn sie so erfolgreich wird, wie Wiederkehr mit den #SchoolNurses, bin ich vorsichtig optimistisch.

Seizures On a Busload of Students Does your school have a good plan for what happens if a child is experiencing a seizure while on the bus?

What is the protocol for school bus drivers if a child has a seizure on the bus? And no, it is not 'call the school nurse.'

Measles and Immune Amnesia What is immune amnesia?

What does Measles do to the host’s body?
It resets the immune systems of the non-vaccinated person who acquires this highly contagious disease. It goes in and turns off memory cells in the body.

This is a wonderful piece that can help everyone - school nurses, other education staff, community members - learn how to advocate for #schoolnursing and school health services moving forward. #schoolnurses are not optional.

Sending love to SC #schoolnurses having to navigate this nightmare scenario

Is it Allergies, or Is it Illness? Illness within school buildings gets cranking up during the winter months.

The next few weeks will increase school nurse office visits. Are children catching "whatever's going around" or are their symptoms due to allergies and poor air circulation?

Grief and Gratitude, Are They Mutually Exclusive? Or Is This a Postprandial Slump?

Is gratitude even possible when grieving for the loss of a child or other loved one?
This is a question I have asked myself frequently this past month.
Can grief and gratitude co-exist?

If We Could Wear Magic Glasses… would we see each other’s roles with more compassion and understanding?

When school nurses and teachers cannot agree; what can you do to improve communication?

Sleep Hygiene: What Is It and Why Is It Important? Last week, I touched on the importance of getting enough sleep, and I discussed barriers that interfere with sleep.

Catching ZZZs by creating healthy sleep habits.

“Irresponsible” … “dangerous” (Thanks to @robincogan.bsky.social for sharing this) #women #health #SchoolNurses

Catching ZZZs at Night is Everyone’s Issue! This is an issue that comes up at every age level, in every grade, preschool through 12th grade.

When is sleeping in class a school nurse's issue? Or is it really an issue for counselors or admin?
