Today I shadowed a school nurse at Skyview Middle School in Soldonta, Alaska. We saw kids in the 5th and 6th grade. The kiddos came in with concussion symptoms all the way to needing a band-aid. I learned that this school provides programs such as: Teens Against Tobacco Use where the kids teach each other the consequences of using tobacco products, Obesity Prevention which works with students to prevent and decrease the incidence of childhood obesity, the school also teaches students and the faculty learn CPR and first aid and there is also a specific group for Alaska Natives to talk in a safe place.
Today was an educational day to explore nursing in a non-acute care setting.
