Many students and parents agree that the nurse is a very important part of a school. On average 40 kids go to the nurse each day at James Monroe Middle School and about 2-3 kids go home each day during the healthy season, and around 8 kids get sent home each day during flu and cold season. The nurse at James Monroe is Mrs. Herring and her assistant is Mrs. Linda, and they make sure to do a good job as our nurses. Mrs. Herring and Mrs. Linda keeptrack of shot records, give medication for students with chronic illnesses, and train staff what to do in medical emergencies.
When asked why these students went to the nurse’s office many replied that they had a fever or that they fell and got a cut. Though these are not extreme injuries, you should still go to the nurse. Mrs. Herring explained that the purpose of the nurse is to provide what students need for various injuries. Mrs. Herring also said that many kids went in for stomach aches, fevers, cuts etc.
Viaunna Brachle said “They were very nice and helpful.”, a student at James Monroe said. Viaunna went to the nurse because the sciatic nerve in her back was hurting.
Lots of people wonder where the nurses’ office is. It is located near the front office on the right hand side. Mrs. Herring the people that normally go to the nurse are “Normally sick students but occasionally teachers as well.” She is also reminding everyone to get their flu shot as it is still the flu season. And make sure to wash hands really well so you don’t get the Coronavirus. You can always make it to the health room during school hours (8am-3pm). So make sure to stop by if you get any injuries or sickness.
