Working as a school nurse during the COVID-19 global pandemic

Abstract

In this webinar, two school nurses discuss the major lessons learned from the challenges of managing the COVID-19 pandemic in school nursing during the 2020-2021 school year. They describe the positive takeaways and identify opportunities for improvement for the 2021-2022 school year, including goals while working during the ongoing pandemic. During the webinar, the presenters compare and contrast two schools in different states—one urban charter school and one suburban special school district (SSD) in a large multi-school district in the United States.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Identify similarities and differences in the response of the school nurse for managing the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic at school while using the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) Model.
  • Describe the mitigating strategies that each school used during the Coronavirus pandemic to prevent students and staff from acquiring COVID-19.
  • Describe strategies that can assist with the SARS-CoV-2 response in the current school year.
