My Project

This will help my health class and nursing groups for my students who are planning on becoming a nurse. Our students are in need on learning about the medical field, pharmacy and medical orders. functions of a school nurse encompass…show more content…

It is challenging because the school nurse has to be involved with the students on a personal level but also extends her care to their parents, and considers them within the microcosm of the community to which they belong.

She has to be proficient at her job because she caters to so many students in the schools that are assigned to her. During the in-class presentation on the school nurse as a public health career option, I was astounded to learn that the nurse to student ratio reached 1:2000 when the national recommendation by Healthy People 2010 is 1:750 and even less (1:225) by the National Association of School Nurses when special needs students are mixed in with other students. (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2015). At Lincoln elementary school, I was dismayed when I asked to speak with the school nurse and I was told that the nurse only came in once every two weeks. Although this may not be the case for all schools, clearly, there is a gap between the demand for the unique services the school nurse provides versus what the students are actually getting. This problem arises when the school districts are faced with budgetary issues and cut nursing hours. According to the National Association of School Nurses (NASN), there is an undeniable need for school nurses because there are many more children being born premature, have chronic diseases, and those faced with social inequality.
