My Project

Healthy students learn better. When my students come to see the nurse, I want to be able to provide them with the best possible care.

To provide the best possible healthcare I ordered these supplies.

I need to do my best to keep my room free of germs (Clorox wipes), gloves to prevent the spread of infections, an otoscope to examine their ears, and band-aids/gauze for all their injuries. I ordered the batteries which are specific to the otoscope. I have many students who come in with earaches, without an otoscope I am unable to look at their ears properly. Students sometimes soil their clothes and I would use plastic bags for that.

My students are special to me and I want to make their time in the room pleasant. I ordered several posters to brighten up my room and their day. I hope to make a difference in their life.
