What do you do? School Nurses

Spokane Public School nurses Adam Phillips and Lauren Bray explain what their job entails.
It's much more than ice packs and bandages. School nurses ensure medical and immunization records are up to date, assist students with chronic illnesses and allergies, and help care for our medically fragile students. They even act as counselors when the need arises.

Gray Fullbuster would make an excellent school nurse.

[Ummm]

Some schools don’t allow nurses to give medication unless it’s order by your doctor. Which is why some nurses take vitals and do other therapeutic interventions. Ice pack is one of them lol

As in most nursing areas, an extremely misunderstand, underestimated, underappreciated, and UNDERPAID specialty.

When I was in the 6th grade, I told the school nurse I was having chest pains, and an hour later, my girlfriend went in and told her she was having contractions in her lower belly. It was a hoot.
