School Nurse at Anne Arundel County Department of Health Bureau of School Health and Support - Glen Burnie, Maryland, United States
School Health Services provide care for more than 85,000 students in 125+ schools and educational centers in Anne Arundel County Public Schools. Our School Nurses work in conjunction with Health Assistants. Health Assistants are trained CNA/CMTs or LPNs supervised by the School Nurse (RN) to perform delegated tasks, provide first aid, give emergency care and medications, and assist in monitoring student health status in the school setting. Our RNs monitor chronic health conditions, develop and implement student health care plans, advise school teams on health issues, provide health teaching, make home visits and assist with the management of medically fragile students in their schools. They also perform student health appraisals and coordinate mandated vision and hearing screenings that are also provided by School Health Services.
