community final paper analyzing the school nurses role.docx SSC130 Analyzing the School Nurses Role Delaware Technical Community College NUR 330 Analyzing the School Nurse at Milford Central Academy School nurses are at the forefront to catch a medical need for the student while outside of the home. Children are in school 9 months out of a year and the nurse can be a powerful advocate for the students, families and community. School nurses can educate the students early on in their life and deter bad habits and educate them on their chronic illness. They have the opportunity to identify needs for medical, behavioral or dental care and provide them with resources within the community. School nurses assess and screen the students and are required to identify any health needs that may be a barrier to the students education. The nurse will manage the “in need†condition by communicating with the student, the staff, the students physician and the family. Care plans are developed for students with chronic illnesses, seizures, asthma and allergic reactions and the care plan is followed while in the schools care. Assessment I am doing my clinicals this semester at Milford Central Academy. This is a 6th to 8th grade public middle school with a student population of 1,017.
