Role and Goal: |
|
|
|
|
| |
The
school nurse's role is a departure from the “traditional” school
nurse role of Band-Aider and record keeper. It is my feeling
that the role of the school nurse is that of a critically important
public health nursing specialty. It is my goal to contribute
positively and significantly to the health, health attitudes, and
health behaviors of our students here at Patch Elementary School. |

clinical skills in providing health care and services in the School Health
Office, your School Nurse also performs many screening tests such as vision,
hearing, scoliosis, peak flow, height, weight, pulse, and blood pressure on
appropriate groups of children. Other functions include: |
