Schools Struggle with Severe Nursing Shortage, Nursingdiscussions.com:"When a student gets sick in Johnston County, there may not be a school nurse to treat them. The district has more than 26,000 students, and only 10 nurses. It's a situation that leaves the nurses over-worked, and students waiting for help."

Mrs. Charlotte Myers, School Nurse, Hagood Elementary School:"My name is Charlotte Myers. I have been a registered nurse for 18 years. Fortunately, I have always been able to schedule my career around the needs of my family. This is what brought me to Ben Hagood Elementary School. In my years of practice, I have worked in intensive care, medical and surgical floors, home health, pediatric intensive care and orthopedic rehabilitation."http://www.pickens.k12.sc.us/hesteachers/myerscr/index.htm

School Nursing, Beyond Sniffles and Bandages, by Linda Handschumacher, RN, E-TNS, MPA, MedAdm:"When someone says, “I’m a school nurse,” what does that conjure up in your mind? A Band-Aid pusher a few steps from retirement, a doting caregiver that may or may not be a “real nurse”?
As an emergency trauma nurse specialist (E-TNS) with 12 years experience, this was my spin on school nursing until I entered the field. Let me tell you, it is certainly none of the above.
My first major trauma, after but 4 weeks on the job, was to be called down to the boys PE field. A student fell off the bars; he was slightly disoriented and could not recall the events pre or post incident. A closed head injury always accompanies C-spine precautions. This includes immobilization with a cervical collar and backboard, and a need for paramedics to transport to a hospital to rule out any spinal or skull fractures and the probability of an MRI to rule out any internal head injuries."

AAP Outlines Crucial Role Of School Nurses In A Comprehensive School Health Program, American Academy of Pediatrics:"School nurses often serve in a crucial pediatric health leadership role, bringing together a variety of services to students and families, according to a revised policy from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Typically, the school nurse collaborates with primary care physicians, specialists, and local public health and social service agencies to ensure a full spectrum of effective and quality services for students and their families. School nurses are especially critical in assisting children with special health needs, including children with chronic illnesses and disabilities. School nurses can ensure student access to primary health care, monitor immunization, and provide health education and counseling."

Breathing Easy in School By Christine Haran, Coolnurse.com:"It can be hard for some parents to send their son or daughter off to school in the fall. It's especially hard to let go when the child has asthma or severe allergies, which parents know all too well have the potential to be life threatening. While asthma and allergies can be effectively managed in a school environment, parents have a key role to play."

Wednesday, November 10, 2004: School nurse office a 'safe haven' for students:"Franklin High School nurse Virginia Sundberg carefully examines a splint she placed on a student's thumb a few hours earlier.
"I splinted it, but it's not responding to first aid treatment," said Sundberg. "He hurt it playing football two days ago. He needs X-rays and I told him he needs to go see the doctor. Sometimes the students think the pain will just go away, but he can't move it. It's good for us to give these kids a push for treatment when they need it."
The life of a school nurse these days can be very hectic. According to the National Association of School Nurses, there should be one school nurse per 750 students that do not have health problems. Sundberg, with the help of a part-time health aide, is faced every day with about 1,500 students at Franklin High School."

Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."
