Benefits of a School Nurse

At Linda's House the safety and well-being of each child entrusted to our care is our top priority. Our school nurse will support a safe environment of health and wellness where your child can play, learn and grow. School nurses improve the general health of staff and children through prevention, education and identification of early onset illness. 

The nurse will provide medical support for all children including those requiring specialized services (medications, insulin pumps, tube feeds, oxygen, etc). Our goal is for the school nurse to meet with every child and family upon registration to review health history and create an Individualized Health Plan as needed. We want to understand your child's likes, dislikes, and fears so we can better support them while in our care. The nurse  is a key part of the team and will educate staff on how best to support each child's sudden or ongoing medical needs. The school nurse will provide professional nursing input and collaboration with primary care providers, EI, therapists, and emergency responders.
