       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.
