Announcements

So some of us have been in school anywhere from two to six weeks now. Hopefully, you are getting to know any changes that have occurred since the end of last school year. Whether you work in a different school, there are different administrators or staff members, know that you will be able to handle any challenges that come your way. 

Leaning on other school nurse colleagues in your district, community, county, state, and surely right here in this nationally-based community! 

Check out the NASN Back-to-School toolkit and the many amazing resources that will enhance your personal and professional growth!

We’ve got you!

Please join us as they share unique aspects of their asthma care program, working as a team to support students with asthma, and experiences with ASIST study related implementation. https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OWNkODVkNjQtZGRlYS00ZTEyLWFjOWQtM2NmZWIyYTI2ODIz%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22c5d46a01-10fb-494b-b08c-9c656d2d0f8a%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22ef8070ab-b870-4987-b78e-72b4603a741a%22%7d

Dear Members,

We have made it through the first two trimesters of school and are winding down, but also revving up. What I mean is as the 23-24 school year will soon be over we are completing screenings and any other mandatory work. We also are starting to prepare for the 24-25 school year with preschool and kindergarten registrations basically here. 

Take the time during your spring break to rest and rejuvenate before "hitting the pavement" again. 

In order for us to be on our A-game at work, we cannot overlook the need to take care of ourselves. Stop and take a look at the beauty of nature all around us, focus on family, and most of all self.
