Know Your School Nurse
by Mel De Jong, RN
School nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that advances the well-being, academic success, and life-long achievement and health of students. To that end, school nurses facilitate positive student responses to normal development; promote health and safety, including a healthy environment; intervene with actual and potential health problems; provide case management services; and actively collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self-management, self-advocacy, and learning.
Contact your school nurse by e-mail at meldrn@yahoo.com or by phone at 712-472-4081.
