National Nurse Day 5/11
Please help celebrate National School Nurse Day on May 11 by expressing appreciation to your school nurse. School nurses care for students every day, including those students with complicated health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, food allergies, heart conditions and seizures. The nurse coordinates with the families and the students’ healthcare providers in creating care plans to promote a safe and healthy learning environment for those students needing such assistance. The nurse also performs many screenings for hearing and vision difficulties, performs first aid, teaches CPR and does some health education in the classroom. “Tahoma nurses enjoy our learning community and the privilege of serving all of you,” said Michelle Zaleski, nursing coordinator for Tahoma.
