Nursing Services
We can create a Nursing plan that meets the exact needs of your school, while ensuring that your building is compliant with state laws and Ohio Department of Health Guidelines/deadlines. You may choose between state required services only and full school clinic services or any combination that fits the needs of your school.
The school nurse provides care for injuries and acute illness for all students and long-term management of students with special health care needs (diabetes, Asthma etc.). Responsibilities include assessment and treatment, communication with parents, referral to physicians, and provision or supervision of prescribed nursing care. An individualized healthcare plan is developed for students with chronic conditions, and when appropriate, an emergency plan is developed to manage potential emergent events in the school setting. The school nurse provides screening and referral for health conditions. Health screenings can decrease the negative effects of health problems on education by identifying students with potential underlying medical problems early and referring them for treatment as appropriate. Early identification, referral to the home, and use of appropriate community resources promote optimal outcomes. Screening includes, but is not limited to, vision, hearing and scoliosis. The school nurse acts as a liaison between school staff, family, health care, and the community.
We offer two different plans to help meet the needs of your school.
