The job of a school nurse is a complex one, from keeping up to date with immunization records and supporting our students with medical needs, to dealing with the day-to-day bloody noses and playground injuries, the plate of a school nurse has always been full. Flash forward to March 2020 when the whole world shut down thanks to one big new phrase, COVID-19. Seemingly overnight school nurses were expected to be experts in all things COVID-19. 6 EAGLE NATION MAGAZINE

Our nurses instantly had to navigate the ever-evolving state mandates, answer parent and staff questions and face the unknown. In Plain Local we were lucky to have district nurse Nancy Cooley in the captain’s chair as we faced this storm ahead. By her side were Tina Perrin, Susan Kear, Bobbi Jo Kintigh, Sarah Furbee and Jennifer Oliver. While it feels like the storm we have been living in is slowly starting to subside, the work of our school nurses is never over. We were able to chat with our district nurses to get to know them a little better. We are immensely grateful for our team of district nurses and all they do for our students each and every day!
