Most don't see what a school nurse truly does. Working in sports medicine at a school, I have the opportunity to work with the school nurse, and see what she actually does. The nurse is actually there in case there is a true emergency. The nurse is responsible for working with students and parents to help injured students with their needs. Work with students with a physical disability and their parents. Supervise students who need to take medicine during the school day. Record keeping for students who carry emergency medications, or have some long term problem. And now, working with me for helping with students who have concussions return to school. Responsible for emergency plans. Tummy aches and boo-boos are taken care of by the nurse because it's convenient. In my school district, parents are supposed to be notified for everything.
