Hello fellow school nurses!  You will notice a new look and function for this site.  I have decided to take the site in a new direction and develop it solely as a resource for other school nurses.  We all need a little help now and then, and this is my way of reaching out to you and offering some support.  This page is and continues to be a "work in progress", but the purpose is to provide you a spot where you can come an get ideas (either my own or links to others school nurses) to help you get through the school year.  

Feel free to browse....stay as long as you like.....and come back often.  I will update this page as I find new information.  If you have any input or something you think I should add please e-mail me-I am always looking for new ideas!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

 

Bulletin Board Ideas

Ok admit it, we all get stuck trying to think up a creative bulletin board idea.  Bulletin boards are a great way to get a message across to your students when you are pressed for time, or unable to go into the classroom.  However it is no fun trying to rack your brain to figure out an interesting presentation.  Below is my current bulletin board idea, as well as links to other sites that offer GREAT ideas for bulletin boards (even for the artistically challenged like myself).  Hope this helps.  If you have any bulletin board ideas that you have used and would like to share, please e-mail me and I will post them.

Programs I use for my students

  • Have you heard of Wuzzy? No, well then click here to learn more about how this "class care bear" can add a variety of 10 minute health lessons to your primary classrooms.  I am a state funded school nurse serving in a parochial school, so I am restricted from going in the classroom.  Because of this, I have to find creative ways to get my "health" message across.  The Wuzzy program enables me to "teach" health to my students.   I love this program and would recommend both sets of letters to anyone in the school nursing profession.
