In the school district where I work we are combating flu, COVID, whooping cough, & chicken pox already this year & fear for the day when it’s polio or measles. Childrens health is NOT POLITICAL. Demand answers & action. #schoolnurses #schoolhealth #nurses www.statnews.com/2025/02/01/c...

The government may not recognize my history but best believe I will. I am Black history. Happy Black history month because without Black history there is no America.

Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

Research shows that unsafe school environments, chronic illness, poor nutrition, and sleep issues reduce academic performance and increase absenteeism. School nurses play a vital role in improving student health and safety. Can health and safety truly be separated from learning? #SchoolNurses

#schoolnurses use #Medicaid reimbursements to help pay for the health services (including additional staff, EHR systems, nurse training) needed to care for the students in their district.

“Healthcare happens in schools” should be the mantra of all #schoolnurses.

Routine diabetes screening for children could prevent the trauma families face when hospitalization often occurs upon disease onset. School nurses play a vital role in guiding parents through post-crisis support, helping ease the transition back to school. Early detection is key. #schoolnurses #T1D

Amazing example of schools - and #schoolnurses in particular - stepping up to fill the gaps in care for students.

@cubasdwood.bsky.social I see you

Agree, and I would add that ALL positions - #schoolnurses, mental health counselors, social workers - should be fully funded.

#schoolnurses are not a luxury; they are a necessity. And they need a clinical #schoolnurse supervisor to ensure equitable care delivery.

Big thanks to @professionotion.bsky.social for setting up a feed for #schoolnurses to share and communicate. Let’s make it happen!

Are we calling any and all mass casualty events “terror attacks” now? Cause I am here for that shit. Maybe it will hit different when you hear on the news that Everyday High School was the scene of a terror attack.

Honest. Decent. Principled. A Lifetime of Selfless Service. #ThankYouJimmyCarter 🙏

While the specifics may not translate to every area of the US, the theme is universal - talk to your school nurse! #schoolnurses are indispensable and an integral part of a student’s education.

Happy Festivus everyone. Always amazed this crazy episode birthed a real celebration that seems to be enjoyed by so many around the world. So may your feats be strong and your grievances few. Enjoy.

Posting this for absolutely no reason in particular. #VaccinesSaveLives www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Might be a little hoarse tomorrow from that game, but it’s all worth it! #Gamecocks

It’s hard to turn your body off when it’s accustomed to waking up at 4:30 or 5:00 on work days. Holidays are not recognized.

Sooooo… does having the fake Keanu following me mean that I’ve made the big leagues?!?!

This is, quite possibly, the truest statement ever made.

This is a great cover of "Creep" My new favorite youtu.be/nZoHuoFQyrI

My current class is Financing of Healthcare, which goes into all types of reimbursements. The one thing I have learned is this: our country’s system of paying for healthcare sucks. It does not have to be this difficult!

Any #schoolnurse accounts on here yet?

Finally had enough of the shit from the negative place, so here I am! I figure if I can start a DNP program at 50, surely I can start a new social media profile. Right?
