I want to let you know I am changing my official school nursing hours from Mondays to Tuesdays starting February 6th. I will also plan to be at school for a longer day (from 8:30 until 3:00 or so).
I am also excited to let you know that University of Wisconsin-Eau Caire, College of Nursing and Health Sciences is placing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing Student at the Lake Holcombe School District for their clinical practicum with me this spring! Ms. Emily Olson will be shadowing and working alongside me on Tuesdays, until the first week in April.
There are many things that a school nurse does to support kids’ and their families’ health, which extends beyond the emergency nursing services and medication management oversight. As we all know, our students may have various health challenges, and this can affect their educational success. School nurses provide recommendations on health-related policies and procedures, conduct health screenings (vision, hearing, mental health, anxiety, depression), as well as provide health teaching, case management and care coordination for kiddos and their families who are navigating the complexities of health in school and clinical/home settings. School nurses also participate in IEPs, create IHPs, place referrals to health care providers and other community-based and focused resources, work in collaboration with educators and others, while also being able to connect directly with health care providers to support management of a students’ health condition in school, and by working alongside the students’ family.
School Nurse Hours:
Tuesdays, 8:30 - 3:00 p.m. from 2/6/2024 to 4/2/24.
Nursing Services: Any school age student with questions or health issues (and staff) who would like to see the school nurse and students who are considering the healthcare profession as a career.
> Blood Pressure checks
> Basic physical health assessments and health related screenings

> Teaching on health-related issues (growth and development, wellness, etc.)
> Follow up and case management with students with chronic health issues (asthma, diabetes, mental health, musculoskeletal concerns, seizures, allergies, and all other health issues)
> Review of medications and side effects
> And, other health needs, including screenings of a vast array of health issues

Don't be fooled!
The school District of Lake Holcombe is excited for the first staff spotlight of 2024, Phaedra McDougall. Phaedra is in her fifth year of teaching, but first year here in Holcombe. She graduated from UW-Eau Claire in 2018 and did Americorps before starting her teaching career at Flambeau Elementary. While with AmeriCorps, she coached a middle school robotics team, planned and implemented STEAM summer camps, and helped out in a middle school tech ed class. Phaedra can be described as empathetic, caring and kind. Did you know that she loves cats, playing with her son and being out in nature? She's a fun loving and perfect addition to our elementary staff!
